No, don't change the water. The cuttings will produce a natural rooting hormone that gets released into the water and helps the cuttings root. If you pour out the water, you pour out the hormone. Just top it up if needed!

I do my best to keep my lasagna-layered raised beds as no till as possible. When I find the time, I run my clean kitchen scraps through my blender. Then I use my garden trowel to open the soil a crack and simply pour in the liquid. After a short time has passed an inspection shows a large cluster of worms eating and laying their eggs near the slurry. This helps me keep plastics out of my garden. Your worms will not vacate your garden as long as you keep adding foods they love. I have enjoyed your video because I think our gardens will all benefit by being more aligned with natural practices. Why "cage" worms?

If you're putting it straight into soil, you probably don't have to peel it. If you're putting it in water like I did, then you should peel it so it doesn't rot and make a big mess.

It may not have occurred to you, but there are two different modes to shredding or bagging your leaves with a lawn mower. If you want your leaves finely shredded, use your lawn mower in "mulch" mode - that is, don't put the bagger on your lawn mower. Once you've run over the leaves in mulch mode, but your bagger on and collect the shredded leaves. You will be astounded by the reduced amount of leaf mass that you collect: I'd estimate it's about 1/4 of the size (by volume, but not by weight) of the method you use. A caveat: it's not a good idea to do this when your lawn and leaves are wet, as you will not be able to collect a lot of the mulched particularates.

Not a dumb question at all! Maybe I wasn't clear in the video but it's almost winter here, so there are no plants growing in my garden. The leaves are to insulate the soil and protect the soil organisms. In the spring, I will remove most of the leaves. Thanks for your thoughts.

I had my soil tested last summer, and it was high in organic material, likely due to incorporation of leaves into soil.
