Starting a new top worm tower feeding tray is easy with this simple technique I use for storing & inoculating my bedding. Join me as I bring a tray that has been filled with cardboard & paper shreds and put it on top of my VermiHut worm tower to feed it for the first time!
Also watch for the kinds of foods I use to lure the red wiggler and blue compost worms up from the lower worm trays and into the new top tray as they turn my food scraps, cardboard & paper waste into natural fertilizer & soil amendments in the form of worm castings!
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 as well as fishing bait. 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 at [ Ссылка ]
