My Tiny Worm Bin is almost ready for harvest after devouring 4+ months of food scraps & shredded cardboard making natural fertilizer & soil amendments for my garden in the form of worm casting!! Before I harvest I feed a totally dry feeding & go through some things in the bin that need to be taken out & put back in after I harvest & restart the bin.

From the start of this Tiny Worm Bin 139 days ago, the population has grown significantly & the red wiggler composting worms have grown chunkier! Come see how they are doing & watch a little mite time lapse after depopulating the bin using wet bread to bait out the mites.

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 ]
