How I get worms out of castings after a quick 4 minute harvest!

[@Vermicompost]

I love watching how you manage vermicomposting with all the accommodations you do! What a great way to mindlessly pass time listening to a podcast or watching TV while sorting out your harvest!! That was a quite a bit of worms that got to spend the night in a fast food container!! Always fun to watch a release!! Great video Sandra!!🪱🪱🪱

[@NanasWorms]

Thanks Patrick. I seem to be gaining a reputation for spontaneous harvests. Our life is just so upside down at the moment, I didn't want to set a baiting operation and then forget about it. I really appreciate all your support! ~ Sandra

[@boldpicturesgardeners]

Thank you fòr your usual spreading great information we are learning .good to Agriculture i enjoy❤

[@NanasWorms]

You're most welcome, Christinah. Worm farming is not difficult and the benefits are huge for the garden, the planet and, I would argue, myself! ~ Sandra

Great video Sandra, glad you found prince charming.🪱❤️💪😁👌👍

[@NanasWorms]

Hi Nick, actually that wasn't Prince Charming, so he is still MIA! I think you said in a comment on the last video that he was at the other end, so that's the next place I'll look. ~ Sandra

[@GrandmaSandy]

Give so much great information thank you so much for sharing

[@NanasWorms]

Thanks so much, Grandma Sandy! ~ Sandra

Good morning, Sandra, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA That's a great way to watch TV and still make progress on collecting Castings or filtering out Overs. Waste no time! ❤Peggy❤

[@NanasWorms]

Thanks Peggy. I also did it without making a mess in our house, which was an added bonus. ~ Sandra

[@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920]

@@NanasWorms you amaze me!

[@NanasWorms]

I just planned ahead with cloths for my hands and the table, Peggy. The vermicompost wasn't muddy at all, which helped a lot. ~ Sandra

[@AlmostOffGridGrandma]

I would think that hand picking is better than sifting because it's less stress on the worms. Great info and thanks for sharing.

[@NanasWorms]

I agree, Krista! ~ Sandra

[@cheersmeme]

first .. Sometimes I will do it like this to. I love picking through my castings lol

[@NanasWorms]

I find it very calming to just run my hands through and pick out the worms. Worm therapy! Thanks so much for watching. ~ Sandra

[@rickhelbling5091]

wonderful

[@NanasWorms]

Thanks Rick! 🪱🪱 ~ Sandra

[@AJsGreenTopics]

That's a nice amount of worms.

[@NanasWorms]

They were the ones NOT in the feeding zone! ~ Sandra

[@gretasgarden]

Packed with such helpful information, Sandra. Your worms are so loved. I think this gentle method shows your kindness to them. That was a lot of worms pulled!

[@NanasWorms]

Thanks Greta. My fingers were definitely tired after that exercise. As long as I can be gentle with the worms, I think they are less stressed over this type of harvest. ~ Sandra

[@rickhelbling5091]

I think Peggy would have more worms on her lap! 😂

[@NanasWorms]

🤣🤣

[@Debbie-Keller]

I love hand digging thru my castings, too.

[@NanasWorms]

I find it a relaxing way to end the day. That means the worms stay overnight in the smaller tub, but I've never had them complain! Thanks for stopping by, Debbie. ~ Sandra

[@XXTERIA]

God bless you in your work.❤❤❤

@@NanasWorms you are welcome. Nana. 🥰

[@gracieshomeandgardens5089]

That is soooo relaxing.and that looks goooood❤❤

[@NanasWorms]

It's a really super concentrated nutrient for the soil, Faye. A little goes a long way! ~ Sandra

[@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920]

[@NanasWorms]

That's on my to do list for today, too, Peggy. So many castings! ~ Sandra

[@madhat127]

Hi Sandra, like you I like to have something going on in the background while I harvest castings, usually it is music for me. I do find that once I've stopped harvesting and look at the time, I'm surprised at how much time has passed. They say time flies when you're having fun. Have fun, Mark : ) I think prince charming is in the lower left corner : ) 🪱

[@NanasWorms]

Thanks Mark. I'll look for PC the next time I feed Cinderella. I'm now catching up watching the French Open (please don't give the winner away!). I can't listen most of the time and just watch when I hear a tennis racket hit a ball 😎 ~ Sandra

[@PlantObsessed]

It is so relaxing to rummage through worm bins. 100% about the worms need their own stuff to keep them healthy.👍🏼😃🪱

[@NanasWorms]

I'm also a great procrastinator, Ann, so rummaging through worm castings is a great way for me to avoid doing more urgent tasks. ~ Sandra

[@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920]

❤

[@NanasWorms]

Have to put those worms back to work!🤣 ~ Sandra
