See how bubble wrap added to a 7 day old worm bin retains moisture in the extremely dry conditions of an Air Conditioned house!! The difference between the center covered part and the crispy periphery is huge!! I also start to introduce slow foods to this Tiny Worm Bin with 1000+ red wiggler compost worms so they can turn my food scraps into natural organic fertilizer in the form of worm castings for my garden!!
In this video you will see how I manage a 19 day old worm bin & what I look for to make sure the worms are healthy and thriving. Managing your worm bin in the first month is the hardest part of worm farming as your own curiosity & overfeeding can set it back or cause it to fail!! My videos help take you through the steps to have a successful, productive worm bin!!
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.
