Ive been feeding on two levels and i always keep the tap open...and i like the idea of putting some Lucerne mulch in the very bottom yray where the liquid drips out..i find there are still a few worms down there also so it looks like from what ive seen so far in numerous videos im doing everything right for my worms..one thing i have found they dont like celery the never seem to touch it or cabbage except for the very outside leaves..who would of thought...fussy worms 😂..in that vodeo what was yhe white stuff he had in those trays ? Thanks 👍

Ive had my worms now for about 3 months now and they are doing really well.. I just went to Bunnings and got the stackable shelf worm farm a bit like your round shelf system in an earlier video you showed and i see that you dont shred newspaper etc like i do plus i cut up the veggie scraps, i also use coffee grounds, crushed egg shells and cardboard/ egg cartons plus a worm blanket...and with the water you seem to use a lot of water so my question is am i doing everything right and how wet should I be using on my worms ?. Also i have worms in my compost piles and ive got some worms going into different parts of the veggie patch. I don't know alot about this subject only from watching tutorials like yours here on KZbin and what i have read. I live on the Barrington Coast but in a rural area and we get hot humid summer sell we did last summer as it was our first summer here and winter well apart from a few days here and there has been quite mild. We get a lovely cross breeze where se are and surrounded by bush amd im loving my new lifestyle and eager to learn so much more on all these subjects so thanks for sharing your content as its been very valuable. We haven't had to buy much in the way of fruits and vegetables as we are growing a majority ourselves which has been awesome 🌳🥦🌸🍋🥬🥒🐛🦋🍅🥑🫑🐝🐛🦋

I've started growing comfrey but I think I should move it cause where it is it's in full sun..if I was to plant it under a lime tree would that be okay even though it's in a sunny position it will still get the shade from being under the tree ?.. I've just discovered your channel and so far I'm liking what I'm seeing especially about worm farming your explanations have been very helpful.🖐️🙂

I have 2 the same as your brown ones, four mixed game hens, 2 i think coochin cross langshan bantam hens, 2 langshan bantam hens, one Australorp bantam hen. Then 1 leghorn rooster, one other huge rooster big boy, and two langshan bantam roosters. You could say i definitely don't need an alarm clock ⏰ anymore. Have a great weekend. I can't wait to see your new chooks.

It's a BIG NO FROM ME. You always need more, I say get another four just to make sure. Another great very cheap feed is soak and cook well beans and boiled rice, and or cooked pasta. Raw beans are toxic to chickens. I have eleven hens and four roosters, but I live on eight acres. It's definitely a happy garden when you have chooks. Also you can never have enough free eggs to go with all of the free food in the garden. This year I'm really concentrating on growing a lot of if not all of my chickens food. This way is the only way to really know that your chook food is chemical free. I watched a video of a fully self-sufficient family that had full blood tests and they all came back healthy except for the really high levels of wait for it "glyphosate/roundup" now they thought this to be very strange as they haven't used any ag. Chemicals for a long time, so they traced it back to the commercial chicken food that they have always bought. Now my own experience is that unless it's from a fully organic farm, most if not all grain crops grown are finished off by spraying the field with yes Roundup/ glyphosate as to allow for easy harvest. I hope my information helps you and everyone else that you can reach out to. Happy gardening as always green love 💚🌲🙏

Wish we lived near ya so could buy and learn for you locally lol That looks like great compost and great worms throughout. We doing a lotta work in the house atm and I hope that when I’m able to get to my worm farms- as the table they on/ under is blocked in the corner by lots of boxes full of stuff that’s been moved to allow us to paint lol. I just pray they are ok. They did have a lot of bedding so even though they not been getting food scraps I hope they are ok. Need to try to get to them but with a 14week old puppy running around for 6hrs a day atm I can’t make a mess and let him get hold of it as he’s eating everything.

Best method I’ve found is a collection of a few, I use well placed beer traps in beds with delicate plants, small planks of wood scattered around garden edge to collect snails to throw back over the fence and now and again a collection of seaweed as a mulch I never wash salt of as I found it not to be a problem as it deters slugs until first rain plus those extra micro nutrients in seasalt works wonders for soil and best trick of all is a compost heap as slugs and snails are natural decomposers so a food source that’s not living should help keep them busy ✌️😎
