My 20 day old cocoon nursery full of worm castings is hatching baby red wiggler & blue worms!!! They will join their parents & the rest of their family back in the Vermihut worm tower to help make natural fertilizer & soil amendments for my garden out of food scraps & shredded cardboard.
In addition to exploring my cocoon nursery, I dig through the parent Vermihut worm bin & find massive clusters of worms & worm balls surrounding uneaten food scraps from the previous feeding. I capture 2 worm time lapse shots as I find them snacking on food scraps! Finally I add another generous feeding of food scraps, shredded paper & cardboard, spent coffee & tea grounds, as well as pulverized egg shell for them to use as grit in their gizzards.
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. If you haven't started yet, get started now and vermicompost with me!🪱🪱🪱 Visit my Channel @Vermicompost
