1. Physiology: they breath through their skins, so they don't "drown" and need air in the container, but are very sensitive to acid. They are both male and female, so mate themselves, and give out golden eggs. 2. Bed: Drill holes and put some wet sands at the bottom, so the compost doesn't drop out. 3. Worms: Get compost worms (not dirt worms) 4. Bedding: not too wet or dry, you can use compost, coco coir. 5. Pest control: make your beds of solid material and raised. Use pure crushed dolomite (limestone not hydrolysed or chemically treated) to keep ants and flies out. Centipedes eat your compost *6. Feeding and watering: Don't over-feed your worms = only enough that would be eaten in a few days, and only water lightly, to keep like chocolate cake.

Gardening is one of my biggest preps. Compost leading to worms. My compost is just full of worms and it's very wet and mostly food scraps with crushed leafs.

When he wasn't working he was fishing. He had nightcrawlers red worms any kind of worm he threw in there. When other people were done fishing, he would ask them what are you doing with your worms. And he would end up with everybody elses worms. The lid fit tight so there was no escapes and nothing getting in.

I was 9 years old when my Mother decided that she wanted to get worms. Then she wanted an automated feed system so she made it my job to feed the worms. To assist me in the operation 24 Rabbits were installed, so then I had Rabbit food processors to keep fueled and Worms to keep up. So after a couple of years of splitting beds, and wondering why my Rabbit population exploded I had about 60 4x8 beds. Between chickens, hogs, cows, horses and the garden I had no more room for beds. I had know idea what I was doing but by the time I got to high school I had worm castings in 15 foot tall 60 feet long piles and I was running out of room. One day this little Japanese guy comes walking into the yard and asks what I planed to do with all this stuff. I told him if he wanted it just get it out of here. He said he couldn’t just take it, that he had to pay me something, I got enough to buy my very own Pickup. Then I went into the Marine Corps.

Just a year or two into becoming a certified organic farmer, my father in law was trying to cultivate black beans. But he would drive a few feet, and see that he must be catching the edge of the plants, because black beans were shaking loose all over the ground. When he got out to inspect, he discovered he wasn't seeing black beans on the ground They were worn holes - dozens and dozens per square ft. The health of his field had returned so much, the worms returned in mass numbers. One of the best harvests ever. When in doubt, study what Mother Nature is doing. She (and insects and other animals) will always tell you what's going on and how YOU should react/adapt

Hi Gregg, I live in the desert where sometimes my home humidity monitor says 16% but “it’s reading doesn’t go any lower”. I ordered from another supplier before I found you. 😢 I decided that I needed one that they promote as being one you can keep in your house where it is cool and out of the sun. I purchased worms and two complete worm bins with stackable trays that I could add this concoction of paper, volcanic rock, vegetable kitchen waste, etc.. What a mess! The red wrigglers were escaping! I was spritzing the newspaper covering on the top tray, I had nats every where! We do aquaponics on a very small scale in a sunroom so I had to move it out there...then I removed them from the beds to my outside gardens and the rest I put in the aquaponics beds. I know the nats came from a bed being too wet, but I was only spritzing the dry upper layer and the news paper covering...It was too much work and trouble, now the expensive stackable worm towers that I purchased are cleaned up and in the garage wrapped in garbage bags waiting for a new use someday... Do we need to raise our own or can we just purchase them and add them to our gardens? I also don’t know which worms are best for different needs. I know the Red Wigglers are great for composting but which would be for both composting and fishing worms? Thank you for your videos, I learn so much from you!!!

This is the kind of guy that I know he could be 10 years old and I could be 20 and if he said I’ve got 10 years of experience I would listen to him he seems like the kind of guy that picks up knowledge twice as much as everyone else he’s so knowledgeable

Thanks. I live in Cullman, Al. I'm gonna make a bed and give it a go. For convenience. I use worms to catch bream. Use the bream to catch catfish. So I can go catfishing without having to go find and buy worms. 24-7. Anytime Your video is AWESOME. 🙂👍👌. Thanks so much

I did notice I was repeating a bit too much after I watched the myself later. Sorry about that. I'll try to tighten in in future videos. I have already also shot a lot of material on microgreens and on my greenhouse that I have yet to post. Hard to find time to edit and process.

I actually had notes for that video and I found using them to be awkward as I was trying to film. That was one of my key problems. No more notes.

Green Gregs finally someone who knows his stuff. I just got some worms for the fun of it. Watched a lot of videos and made bedding of peat moss and feed them purina worm chow. They seem to like it but mu worm chow molds in 24 hours. So every day i have to throw out molded chow. What about mold problem?

Green Gregs ......i love your videos and think you’re the most knowledgeable on KZbin when it comes to worm care. I have a question on the dolomite that I hope you can answer. I don’t want to kill my worms by using the wrong product, are you familiar with Amazons Power Grow Dolomite? It claims it’s pure but before I purchase it I’d like to get your ok. Anyway, thanks for the advice on the food, I started not giving so much food and my bin looks better than ever.

good video, probably the best advice in there is to keep the worm work area from becoming acidic because that is when more problems occur, especially when they run out of food due to over-popullation

Gonna make a worm box staight away. Already got worms in my compost. Great idea Greg. Will they b ok in a garage? Just finished. How much gap between the compost & lid? I've filled it 90% with garden compost including worms so 10% for vegetable waste. is this right? Thanks from uk.👍

Ive been doing worm farming without even realising it. I have a market garden and csa scheme. Im surrounded by cattle farms. They deliver thier shed waste of manure and straw in the spring each year. Big piles, 8 ft high. I just cover the piles with tarp and leave it. By autumn the piles are pure worm castings. If i have to take some out part through the year, the top looks just like your bin and the worms are all in a layer between the castings and manure. By about october the worms are gone and a small 2.ft. pile of pure gold is left behind. This is how i grow anything from melon to garlic on otherwise useless grass land that was drowned in nitrate for 60 years.

another thing I have found is if you are going to add household scraps ... you need to cover them with the 'dirt' in the container ... helps keep flies down as well as limits the amount you add and places the 'food' where the worms are
