Thanks for chiming in, Pauly. The feeling is mutual!

[@deadfred821]

Ok... may I ask the same question I asked John (cause in a day of two, it may get lost in a barrage of other comments)? So my question is packaging.... it was my understanding that vermicompost loses nutrients & bacteria as it loses moisture; so is it best that the home vermicomposter not seal up autumn & winter harvests for spring time use? What would be the best way to store your vermicompost then? And where can I get my hands on the types of bags he showed around the 44:00 mark?

[@heatherrinaldi9528]

@@deadfred821 I recommend keeping castings in a sturdy cardboard box with some paper on top to maintain moisture content.

[@nohorasims656]

I'm in Lubbock Texas and don't know where to get worms

[@howard977]

I got into worm farming because of the Texas Worm Ranch years ago . I use composted leaves and grass clippings for bedding and to feed my worms . I don't put food scaps into my worm bins , I put the food scraps in my compost piles , let the leaves , grass clippings and food scraps break down and then I feed it to my worms . My worms bins are in my home and I've never had any issues with bug's or smells using this method . I grow common milkweed plants to help the monarch butterfly population and I put the common milkweed seeds on top of my worm bins and they germinate very fast , 81% faster than water germination or if I put the seeds in topsoil or outside in my garden . I have seedling within a week . I use the top of my worm bins to germinate seeds , when the seedlings are big enough, I take the seedling out and plant them in a pot with a 100% worm castings , I got from my worm bins . Once the seeds germinated and I remove the seedlings, then I turn the worm bin by hand , turning by hand makes sure I won't hurt the worms .Then I feed the worms compost and water and plant more seeds on top of the worm bin . Then the cycle starts all over again.

[@catherinegrace2366]

Wow! Super impressive. I have worms and may strive for a system like this. I can see how fantastic it would be. Thank you for commenting and the idea.

[@howard977]

@@catherinegrace2366 Your welcome . When you make soil with just leaves and worms , you are replicating the forest floor . That's what the forest does , the trees take up minerals from the ground and deposit them into the leaves. Then the leaves with the minerals in them fall to the ground . Then the worms eat the leaves , making worm castings . The minerals that the leaves have are now found in the worm castings. So in the home worm farm , you do the same thing . The leaves you feed the worms have minerals in them and when the worms eat the leaves and turn them into worm castings, the minerals are now found in your worm castings. Food does not belong in the home worm farm because the food will start to smell attracting flies and bugs . With feeding your worms leaves , the leaves will never start to smell . Leave the food scraps for your compost pile outside.

[@neverwinterfarms]

Do you compost outside?

[@howard977]

@@neverwinterfarms yes , outside l only compost leaves now . l don't put food in it , just leaves . l go around my neighborhood during the fall and pick the bagged fall leaves .

[@irmasanchez5274]

@@howard977 Hello, I disagree. I live in a small NYC apartment. I don't have the luxury of a patio - only three windowsills. I place all organic fruit and vegetable leftovers, brown paper, egg crates, any leaves or roots from my plants. My worms eat it all in a week. There is no smell. When I first started I did have some little flies flying around, but that all went away when I buried the food with enough soil which is easy to do. Also, don't overfeed them. One will learn to gouge how much food is enough/not enough. I now have very little waste. Stuff I can't feed my worms (onions, citrus, etc) goes to the city's composting program. It's not perfect but it works for me. I think one can get too caught up in being perfect. For me the point is to reduce waste and create a healthy ecosystem in my apartment. Someday I will have a yard and will be able to have access to grass and leaves.

[@TheGardenerNorth]

Best video on vermi-composting I've seen! Being married into a family with a professor of Biochemistry, I've learned a tremendous amount about what defines a highly, organically based biologically active media vs a highly refined organic media and although its highly subjective based upon the parent materials, the most important ingredients are going to be a highly active and viable, beneficial fungal based colony, along with a diverse base of minerals, which is inherently based upon the parent materials. The bottom line is it doesn't matter whether the NPK, comes from a mined mineral base or a pigs butt, it's the bio structure of the media that makes the difference, because thats the way mother nature wants it. This Vermi-composting ranch has it down 'Pat'.

[@tonysu8860]

Actually some studies are reporting that worm castings has a relatively low level of NPK. The point is that most soils have more than adequate amounts of PK and might need a bit of N, but practically all but the best soils are lacking in a robust microbial biome. Vermicompost is one of the best amendments that can provide that environment that doesn't just introduce new microbia that wasn't there before but promotes the growth of both its own and any other microbes native to that soil and surrounding environment.

[@nathanaelgoodell7106]

Great video John! I just started my very first compost pile a couple of weeks ago! I don’t even garden lol! I just started because I was tired of buying top and flower soil! But I love your videos.

He isn't yelling at nobody. He is just a real good honest person with a great personality. He always seems positive and passes positive vibes around anyone he is talking to or willing to watch his videos. I dont watch all his video's as I'm just getting into vermiposting and he is one of my favorite vermiposting KZbin hands down. He has alot of knowledge about living soil which I'm glad he takes the time to teach us people interested in it. If you don't like watching why watch and why even waste your time to complain. Find something else to spend energy on hopefully I'm a positive way. Life will be much better for yourselves over time

[@Zincink]

I put mowed grass on the perimeter of my veg square, and leaves go on top of the clay soil for winter to break down and feed the worms. I have more worms than ever in the past few years. I do not fertilize or spray anything.. I just keep it clean by pruning.

One of the things that I love about vermicompost is how balanced of a manure it is while not having to deal with some of the extra salts that can be in it like steer manure.

[@ontherocksinthesoilmichael6739]

John i use the 360 but i use it backwards from the recomended way. I put dry cardbord on the bottom trays and the feed the oldest tray on top so the extra moisture and microbes migrate down and is partially finished by the time the time it moves up to the top tray. It has improved the quality and quantity of castings. I also use 2 inch risers in the corners (i use extra pvc pipes) to allow O2 flow. I never get moisture from the tap because it is used by the bedding below priming it for the worms.

[@wernerbritz7174]

Hi John Iam from South Africa and ive started worm farming about 4 months ago after doing tons of research. One thing I picked up was that if you only feed the worms one type of food the castings are not as good as when feeding them different foods. Iam still learning and testing out my castings to see how they affect the growth and the fruit bairing of my fruits amd veggies. From my own experience certain foods makes the worms fatter and they look in a better condition than other foods but its all in the mix of thing one food source will not do your castings any good. Thank you so much for this educational video i enjoyed it.

I saw a graph from a professor lecturing on worm castings and it said like after harvesting the casting microbes grew a lot in number and by month five was even higher. It’s great the place in the video keeps the worm castings in the bed till an order shows up so it can keep getting better, but does anyone know of a method for people that may harvest castings due to a lack of room but still keep them to let the microbial content keep growing?

[@dana102083]

you can make a stacking bin yourself using stackable bins (that leave enough gap at the bottom for actual worms) and then holes placed for grawling through. There are also purchasable bins that stack in a few different brands. So then you start in the bottom with food, and when that is depleted, food is placed in the next bin up.. then keep going as tehre's usually five or so bins.. so they keep brewing on the bottom while they crawl up to find more food. That gives time for any babies and cocoons to also pop and also look for food too, for a cleaner product.
