Hey i live in Jamaica, i recently saw that you have been there, do you have any tips on how i can get worms locally

Good advice. Thank you

Great information video 🇳🇿🪱

Please continue. I have a worm bin and love the information.

My worms are my babies so they're safe. Not going for chicken treat or fishing. They are solely to support and supply a garden with their lovely castings.

Very happy & extremely satisfied to be in that small number that bought an Urban Worm Bag after watching your videos!! Keep it up Steve!!🪱🪱🪱

I am thankful for your advice. Poo on the nay-sayer.

Today I ordered the Urban Worm bag from a store in the Netherlands because it was a good deal and I felt like I trusted the owner of the company because he feels approachable😃. The KZbin thing worked! Greetings from the Netherlands.😊

Regardless of the size of your business I can say your product is top notch. I have had my UWB for 3 years now and still going strong with no issues. Love your free content. Keep up the great work Steve!

Well, in three days I've binge watched the last 38 videos. I just started four days ago with a Vivosun worm bin, so I'm learning everything I can. I've seen not to start with too many worms, but what about too few? I started with 100 with the idea that they'll multiply over time. Great channel, I'm really getting good info.

Skip the wood chips unless you want nitrates

Skip buying from uncle Jim’s unless you want mixed crap

We got to -22 degrees F and even my seedling mat wasn’t enough. And it’s in an unheated garage. 😢 Hopefully I have cocoons 😳

Thanks a lot for this great video! We too can automate.

Customer of pound of worms few weeks ago. The promise of "pure" vs "who knows which" mix from the most pushed supplier in the google search was my tipping point. All the way across the country usps delivery was slower than I would have wished since there was 2 holidays and a weather vortex in the works. But so far as I can tell things are going well. And today's topic answered some "I wonder" questions since my "HUT" is in our chilly basement.

I watched about 8-10 videos.. had started my indoor compost buying worms from Walmart.. realized I needed way more and ended up ordering a pound of worms. They arrived live and well so I treated them to some avocados Keep up the good work

I'm a customer! I had to replace the one my son gave me that tore (my fault), and worms both times. I appreciate your videos. It makes total sense to have them. I also appreciate the emails in case I miss them here. Keep them coming please!

That dicaprio joke was an absolute banger

THANKS for these videos! What is the purpose of the bubble wrap??

Have had my UWB for 6 months or so. Stumbled through a very hot summer in Texas and now we are recovering from snow(I know), thanks for doing the UWB series, I have struggled with moisture and how much to feed them. I realize that I have probably been underfeeding them, based on heat and cold cycles and human digestive patterns. Down here, and I know you will cringe, but it gets so hot and dry that I do mist water from the hose directly into the bag. Not a lot but more than I could ever get from using a spray bottle. I find making sure to cover the feedings with dirt helps keep the fly/pest population down. I had a few in ground compost bins in my raised beds that supported a healthy population of worms but also had flies and pill bugs like you wouldn't believe. Thanks for the content. About to start a vertical planter with a vermicompost tube in the center. Hopefully I've learned a few things.

Hello, I live in San Diego and have a worm bed. I am looking at getting a heating pad for the bin

hi steve how are you? so what are the largest worm you have available like the big one we use for fishing i am not interested in small composting worms...so i need aneciq one..

Any tips for making sure stored worm castings don't contain fungus gnat larvae? Also was wondering how I can be more successful marketing and selling my worm castings? Thank you

As a viewer, I really appreciate your content. I have purchased some of your worm castings while I was waiting for my worms to start producing enough for me and if I ever find I don't have enough, I'll be purchasing more. And here's another reason to keep these videos coming (although I think it's clear you already understand the value of them), I'm about to show a bunch of people the benefits of worm composting in their very urban kitchens with a little mini worm bin. But when they ask how to get started, I'll be sending them to Urban Worm.

Hey Steve, I want you to know that I really appreciate your videos. Not only are they relevant and informative to someone who is maintaining worm composting, but your positive persona is uplifting, too. I haven't purchased anything from you...yet. Thank you, from Prince George, British Columbia!

Hi Steve, Thanks for all your content. I find it interesting and informative. I’m in the UK and have a couple of home made bins that I feed with bokashi composted food waste. I live in a flat with minimum out side space. My system seems to work for me and my worms. Your videos have been most appreciated and helpful. The no nonsense approach you have is great and so easy to understand. Thanks mate. Please keep up the good work. 👍😁 Regards Kev.

Keep doing what you do Steve, really good info in your vids. I have the urban worm bag and it's great.

I think it awesome you are out there promoting vermicomposting. Promoting goodwill does great things for a bottom line in my opinion. I may not need any of your products, however, if someone is looking to start vermicomposting you are a resource I would gladly pass on. I agree cool temps are fine for red wigglers, my bins stay mid 50's all winter and do just fine. Stay Well !!!!

"Why would a company have a KZbin channel" is an odd question to ask in 2025. And I am a customer - first saw you on the Urban Gardening channel, I think, then came over here and watched some of your videos, then bought a worm bin from you. 🤷🏼

I bought my red wigglers from you last year! Keep the videos coming!

🎉

Good info, thanks.

Just noticed the same with my outdoor bin, I have a heat mat and it's drying the bedding big time, so today I spread water with the feed; the heat mat and over-feeding are doing the job, as you said surviving mode. I do have one of your bags but that's indoor colony. Cheers.

Greetings. Is it true that if I make a wormfarm from three parts where the bottom part is for excess moisture from the upper two parts and the upper parts are for compost, that when the earthworms finish with the middle part they will go up and thus enter the upper part? I took compost from the middle part and so on? Thank you very much

Love the Full Send pumpkin dump!!🪱🪱🪱

I thought they were harmful worms like tapeworms since they were in my manure that I use for planting

Thanks for sharing! If you keep the compost relatively dry, can you still get worm tea? I thought the worm tea only drip down when it's wet.

I liked the reaction to all those worms in that first handful.. haha! 👍🏻 The subsequent handfuls of worms were pretty cool too. When you made the _executive decision_ to give 'em the whole pumpkin the _'what the heck'_ approach was classic :)

I see lot of fungus gnats

What is that stainless steel contraption behind you? For some reason I am just noticing it. My pyrolysis spidey senses are tingling.

I have fed my worms watermelon that's how the freezer and I get Soldier Flies what can I do

I have been checking stored castings under the microscope to see how the biology is holding up. I use all natural bedding, leaves, compost and leaf mold, under the microscope I see a lot of unbroken down material that is acting as food for the microbes. What I am looking for with the stored castings is how long will that reservoir of food hold up before I see a decline in the microbes. I use two different types of screens for castings, 1/8th inch and 1/4 inch, I am trying to determine the best way to store castings. There is a lot of advice out there, but what are they based on, without actually looking at a microscopic level? Ran out of pumpkins a month ago, hate it when that happens, I'm a bad worm Dad. Enjoy your videos! Stay Well !!!!

Seems to me a realy simple idea wpuld be to put styrofoam or insulation foam on top of the heater to keep the heat trapped and then it will bridge origrate into the mass and out the sides. Or even adding mass like a piece of tile or stone on top. An insulation blanket arou d the bag would work well. You only need 65 to 70 f right?

Just got my urban worm bag here in the UK, and it is fantastic. Took 10 minutes to put together set the bedding and the worms from my tote bin are now in residence along with their castings. The system is so much bigger than it looks on here, can't wait for it to build up over the next few months ready for the first harvest. May even buy some more worm bags to ramp up production. Stay Safe and thanks for all the useful videos

How is it that those holes don't get clogged as the compost sinks and reduces in size?Those holes are at an oblique angle, what if the pipe were turned upside down, minimising the chances of blocking? Do you measure the moisture of feedstock before building the pile?

Worms may be skinny but, they are still looking good Steve🪱🪱🪱

If you put the seed heating mat underneath the tote you don't dry out the top layer, Steve. I do that with my large outdoor worm bin, but I also have a thermostat control on it so it doesn't overheat. ~ Sandra

Just fed some Pumpkin today in two Urban Worm Bags. I use 2 heat tools. The seed starting mats on top and a small 360 degree space heater made by Honeywell sits on garage floor. -10 degree F outside but both bags at 74 degrees on digi thermometer. Life is good!!

Ok, some questions, is it expected for some worms to die in the very start of your worm bag? I have noticed some very healthy, and some not.

I have a Vermahut outside in my garage, and I have a little reptile tank heat pad on top of my warm blanket. And it’s cold as heck out outside right now and they seem to be doing OK. I don’t have too many worms in there and I have only started the bin maybe a couple months ago. So it’s not well established yet but they seem to be doing good, staying warm and moving around a lot.
