httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_ENsgKKR20 While this video might miss on a few good points, I absolutely love the kid answering all her mom's questions about what to do next with the worm bin... super cool... but what's up with the lack of air holes in the bin?
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBqwfm4sU6U I just found this web channel called Big Tex Worms, and she has some great videos to check out on the topic of vermicomposting. You'll see that my website gets really worm-centric in the colder months as the outdoor methods slow down to a crawl here in the northeast. This video shows some pretty standard methods for preparing worm feed, but when it gets to Step 4, I was definitely surprised. I've never seen anyone make worm food into balls first, and I wonder what the point is. I guess they're handy and represent a fixed amount of material for your worms to digest. If they don't start eating it within a few days, that means they might not like it and it's acidic...so I guess it's a good…
I can't believe it... over the last few months I've practically ignored my Worm Inn system entirely. It even got to the point where I was afraid to open it up and find that my worms had disappeared (died). Looks like dumping water on it once or twice a week was enough, and that they indeed ate all the bedding I put in there although I'm sure that was their last priority. I opened up the Inn, and under the top layer of paper waste was nothing but beautiful castings and tons of tiny worms...so awesome. Now it's time to see what they're made of as I get ready to start giving them heaps of stuff instead of throwing it in the tumbler outside. Worms surviving and thriving, leaves falling…
