How well is your compost worm bin doing after 1 month? Use this video to compare & make sure you are on track to getting natural organic fertilizer in the form of worm castings for your garden!! Now is the time to up the amount of food scraps & bedding you are feeding if your worms are consistently consuming all the food between feedings.
In this video we check on the moisture level throughout the bin, look for any signs of the last feedings and find some worm balls hidden in the toilet paper rolls I put in last feeding. We also try some old bedding materials in a new way. So check it out as the 1000 red wigglers I started with start to ramp up casting production!!
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.
