Both freezing & chopping food scraps for a worm bin are ways to speed up the break down process to allow beneficial microbes & epigeic earthworms or composting worms to create natural fertilizer & soil amendments in the form of worm castings! This is day 1 of the experiment & I will check back to see how both sides are progressing at 5 day intervals.
In this video I also aerate the bedding and castings while exploring the previous feed zone area running into hundreds of red wiggler composting worms busy making worm castings for my garden! I also update the mango seed after 127 days, along with the pinecone and other long lasting food scrap items.
Epigeic worms or composting worms are fascinating natural composters & fertilizers that are in most homesteaders bag of tricks to make free organic fertilizer & soil amendments. If you've ever thought about vermicomposting or composting with worms to make organic fertilizer & natural soil amendments with your plant based kitchen scraps or food waste, this is the channel for you. I have 3 worm composing bins which you can watch from start to finished worm castings on the 3 playlists following each worm bin.
