@@BuildASoil My gem box is so full that I forget where each of these precious bits fit, and most importantly where they derived. Watched both seasons and the faqs. Re-watching bits of S1 and S2 to get started with a 3x3 TnB, but my degree is in accounting, with a background in building NASCAR racecars and wiring houses. Could y'all recommend a basic horticulture "recipe" for learning with an intent to solidify basics of a no-till/low-till lifestyle? ...or did I miss it? Appreciated!

yo old bartender trick, adding any aged spirit to your ACV/dish soap trap will make it far more effective and last much longer. fruit flies are drawn to the esters which are a byproduct of yeast and present in decomposing fruit, so you're just doubling down on the vinegar acetic acid appeal. dish soap is mostly for removing surface tension, my go to is castile soap because you can still compost the trap itself at the end; insects exoskeletons are made out of chitin and there's lots of chitinase-producing microbes in your vermicompost, they'll break down super fast especially after their vinegar soak. YMMV of course. thanks for all the great videos dude

I currently have four worm bags. Two are gen 1 and two are gen 2 bags. I keep two red wiggler bins, one European night crawler and one mixed night crawler and red wiggler. Couple things I would advise: 1. Add crushed egg shells. 2. Add bio char. 3. Leaf duff might be the best input. 4. Add dried and fresh leaves and grass. 5. Research avocado tech 6. Create and add bokashi fermentation. That captures your meat and dairy waste.

[@pixarisking]

I love your idea of multiple worm bins and having each one dedicated to a slightly different type of end product, you are a great teacher Jeremy thanks for sharing all of your knowledge. I wish I could know the # of people that you have positively influenced for the better since you started your KZbin series, I'm sure it's a lot of people! And the fact that you encourage people to make many of the products you sell themselves to save some money instead of purchasing it from Build A Soil just makes many of your followers want to purchase things to help show their support for how much free knowledge you put out there! And it's not a bunch of misinformation that you put out like so many different growers on KZbin, it's some of the most accurate and concise information and I, like many others, wish we had found you sooner in our gardening journeys! Me, like countless others, just want to say thanks for taking the time to give back and by purchasing many things from Build a Soil I know I am trying to pay it back as well! Much love and Midwest respect!

Great video, I got my worms from Jim's Worm Farm and I was quite happy. Started with 250 for under $30 with shipping. They came way faster than I anticipated and so I actually started them out in a small styrofoam cooler I purchased at Dollar Tree. I used some organic seed starting mix I had and just dumped them in as they came with the the little bit of castings and I guess compost or dirt they came in and I fed them. I didn't allow anything to acclimate and the only holes were in the top of the lid which I put in with a soldering tool where i just melted the holes into the top. They thrived, and I moved them into another bin with only holes in the lid again, and just yesterday moved them into a much larger concrete mixing bin without a lid. Mostly shredded newspaper and whatever they were in and fed them and topped with some brown paper bag and newsprint. Making another set up with more holes for aeration and a spigot for getting out any leche but quite frankly I don't see that much moisture in my bin as I kept is moist but not soaked and no fruit flies or anything I didn't want in there. For a 1st time Worm Mom I am proud of myself for what I have achieved. I am sure I have more than doubled my worm population since just just 2 months ago on the 13th of this month and I have some pretty big worms in there and some very teeny tiny ones in there I am sure were born in the setups I created to keep them in.I still would love to know more about what the actual castings are supposed to look like though to be honest.

[@Aceboggy3223]

Took me a while to do my pile but I just did the least amount of manual labor and got a large static pile and see tremendous amount of activity. Some mycelium is present after Turing the pile a small amount I moved a place pice of wood that’s flat and it’s had a nice white web covering the surface not to densely but it looked incredible....I use lot of chicken coop bedding straw an poop and some horse manure that was sitting for a long period . I got worms from my yard on heavy rainy days they accumulate at top few inches of soil under objects around the yard .i got a tarp under the pile and when ever I lift it partially on edges I see larger and smaller worms thriving with lots of other critters .rubbermaid totes were nice to store worms as I build the pile over time . I need more leaf mold this fall I’ll be storing all the leafs of my family yards like a hoarder 😭.

[@mgoh1984]

Hi all, new sub here. I love the idea of growing with worms doing the fertilizing for me. I have done much research about this and one thing I learned that makes sense is that red wigglers are what you want for indoor grow containers opposed to nightcrawlers. Nightcrawlers need cooler temps which is why they tend to stay deeper in the ground. The containers used for indoor growing will be too warm for them as there is no way for them to go deeper for cooler temps. Red wigglers don't mind the warmer temps and tend to stay toward the surface for the most part.

I follow quite a few vermicompost channels on KZbin and would love to see more play by play from a purpose driven perspective. If you could do regular follow up videos on what your feeding to direct the compost toward use in vegetative phases verses flowering phases that would be awesome. Most worm farmers are posting video on keeping worms for recycling and the compost is a great benefit to their gardens but they're not specific to canna applications.would also like to see your take on a frugal or free building of soil from/ for your geological region and how your outdoor thermophilic compost, vermicompost and other systems and practices might play into that.

I'm currently using bokashi, outdoor thermophilic, and worm composting to build soil for all of my gardening uses (including indoor canna). I use the bokashi to pretreat all of my food scraps meat and dairy included. I then add the fermented food scraps to my outdoor tumbler with yard wast and shredded paper and cardboard to process it. When it cools down I screen it and feed it with my worms mixed with more paper/ cardboard. I chip and shred yard waste with wood ash and some of my coworkers chicken manure/ bedding in a pile in my yard and process that over the course of several months and add that to the tumbler and worm farm. I've never had a soil test done but I have had success with some chiletepin and roses outdoors, incorporating the worm compost and outdoor compost to the in ground and potted plants.

[@tgitsmydad2156]

Avocado TEK for beginners: please understand there are two kinds of Avocado Tek 1.0 and 2.0 which refers to the end results you want in worm composting. Avocado tek 1.0 you take a yellowish Avocado which has become soft. Cut two slits in the Avocado in the shape of a tiny X. Place it down into the worm bin. Doing this will cause the worms to gather to feed and work their way inside. In doing this since worms are hermaphrodites they will mate and create foam that will become what are called cocoons or baby worms. Which can double the population in 60 days to 90 days. Avocado tek 2.0 requires the exact same yellowing or brown old Avocado and instead of cutting a X shaped slit you cut it completely in half. Then lay both pieces face down. This will effectively cause those beneficial predatory soil mites to gather and mate. Double their population at a much, much, MUCH faster rate at about twice the amount in two weeks or even faster. This is extremely beneficial as a over populated environment of freshly breed and hungry predator soil mites. Will be very good to add to your garden or cannabis grow. Not to mention making the likelihood that any fungus gnats or thrips or any other soil breeding insects will not stand a chance to survive will be very high and in your favor. However doing either of these techniques must be planned ahead and especially Avocado tek 2.0 for breeding predatory soil mites. Because once this takes place in a very short time the bin will be over run with soil mites. Which will not kill off but will deter the worms themselves from eating in those locations near the surface. So with this in mind while the results are great to add to your garden. It's best to plan ahead and know how to manage the rise in soil mite populations. By inducing them to breed an gather using the Avocado tek 2.0 and being sure to do so only about 5 days to one week in advance of a planned transplanting event. As aforementioned the hoards of soil mites will gather and breed under the cut halves of Avocado. So knowing this you can prepare a ready mix of soil then removing the Avocado. Will reveal thousands of soil mites, that you can then scoop up and adding them to the top layer of your freshly transplanted soil and plant mix. So use caution when trying these methods. As well for anyone interested in how or why this works. It's because the Avocado has not only naturally occurring enzymes that promote mating but the Avocado has essential oils and fatty acids that are typically found in rotting flesh or meat. But you truly never ever want to add actual meat or fat to your worm bins. But doing it this way will surely come in handy for both reasons. Of doubling the worm population and making your own soil mites in the process. So depending of your desired results you can actually use one bin or bag for worms only and then another smaller bin for predatory soil mites. This is something the guys in the soil mite game do not want you to know. Ass you could quickly put them out of business and truly start your own soil mite populations. By buying just one small container of predatory mites from them and then breeding them. Infact if you were to add it purchase a blend of soil mites. They can be just as beneficial as the worms themselves when you breed them in high numbers. Like the organic fertilizer called insect fras well now you also know how to make your own at home. I hope this helps you ❤😇

[@chadcaso]

Ive also noticed that those beneficiaries mites eat fruit fly larvae. I could be wrong, but it is my observation

[@tgitsmydad2156]

@@chadcaso yes they eat any soil born incest larva. However in the case of fungus gnats only the stratiolipsis hypoapsi miles are large enough to tackle and feed on them. This is also true of root aphids as well. Another important tip is that natures good guys does sell hypoapsi miles carnivorous soil mites but they are sold separately and are the most expensive to ship as are all predator mites. Because they must ship within 2 days and most soil mite vendors are based in California. Making it hard to transport them around the country quickly. This is where Avocado tek 2.0 really comes into it's own. Making it easy to never have to buy them but one time and infact you could start your own soil mite business this way. Which has been my dream. But funding is an issue. But if your looking to try this. Please do so buying the hypoapsi miles carnivorous soil mites and the blended version which does not contain hypoapsi miles but the rest are very beneficial and in conjunction they are a true force of nature that will not only fully protect your soil in very high numbers but they dig a network of finely threaded tunnels that not only aid root development but provide a Avenue for mycholrizal fungi to spread their mycelium web.

[@K_Nasty]

Damn..ha

[@losty150]

You started avacado tek?

[@tgitsmydad2156]

@@losty150 no I didn't I have known about it and the reason I learned was from my own mistakes trying to use Avocado Tek 1.0 but what I did was actually 2.0 which lead to a gross over population of soil mites in my worm bin. But it was not all bad thankfully I too was near to transplanting 7 plants from 1 gallon to 7 gallon grow bags. So using the Avocado tek 2.0 I lifted the Avocado and simply scooped a heap of soil mites into each bag. I had a massive fungus gnat infestation too. But once I did that transplant they were all gone in about a week. I later found that really there is only a small difference in biology when it comes to worm castings and insect fras (which is just another word for bug poop). So I began to keep two separate composting bins. One for worms only and another for soil mites.

Thanks for this video - I purchased the same bag a year ago but it doesn't have the new bottom. So I have a question on keeping it clean.

Is there something safe to use to clean it while it's still full of worms and compost, like maybe Dr. Zymes? Or is it only safe to clean when it's completely empty? Thanks again, glad to see you guys putting out all this content!
