Hey Benjamin I have night crawlers in my garden containers that are as big as a pencil. I have a barrel that was cut into 3 pieces that I intended to use for carrots, radishes etc, however that didn't work so I used them to put my household food scrapes in to start composting. Last year when it was time to plant tomatoes or peppers I put 2 plants in each & man did they grow & flourish! When harvest was done l used the dirt to refresh my flower pots etc & started the food scrapes again. I don't have to move them & I can divide their dirt with basic soil & fill other containers. This worked so well that my son brought me so many large containers that nurseries use to plant trees in that I am set for this year. Before this I had chickens & their used straw to fertilize along with store bought bagged fertilizer. No comparison with the outcome of the harvest. Something " got" my chickens one night which caused me to change my method. I miss my chickens & my sis misses the eggs. I had a Rhode Island Red chicken that would sit in my lap for me to rub her!

Wonderful! It was fun to read about your gardening and homesteading adventures. Great job with the night crawlers!

You’re on the right road now. Next you need coffee and tea grounds to feed the red wigglers. Ask at the restaurants you frequent. If you’re a good customer they should save their coffee and tea grounds for you. I’m glad you’re sharing this. There’s nothing better you can do for your garden than using it as a giant worm bed and grow plants as a byproduct. You probably know it but I see in the comments that some people don’t know that you can order red wigglers online. I got mine from Uncle Jim’s worm farm. Good luck and keep those worms happy for a great garden that doesn’t need fertilizer.

[@gardenguychannel]

Thank you Don! I'll keep Uncle Jim's worm farm in mind. Preshiate it

[@StoneKathryn]

I like your spelling. It's great!

[@hummingbirdhollowfarm]

My little siblings are very interested in starting a worm bin and would love to see your video on how to get one started. Thank you for sharing all this information!

[@gardenguychannel]

Awesome! I'm glad they'll be watching.

[@pampilgrim2274]

Hi, Benj! I just thought I knew all about worms! You’ve got me beat.

[@gardenguychannel]

Haha! There's always more to learn.

Keep it simple, if you have organics, lawn clippings, veggie scraps, leaves, old hay, they will come. I have a extra lot, and some raised beds 4 courses of concrete blocks, use alfalfa, wood chips, never bought a worm, the place started showing worm activity within a month, especially under the alfalfa pellet ( I get the spills waste at a pellet plant, by the cu.yd) and dump it, 2-6 deep. I just watch the chickens scratch where there is organics, they love the green waste more than the brown (chips). Give them food they come, raked some sugar cane duff aside to plant some vines, they cover the soil, eating the duff, again give them food, they'll come.

Thank you

[@user-ef7el1ud3e]

I put in brand on top of my worms or pumkin,or egg cartoons as food

[@jolox.]

Nice video! I love worms. The music was nice, what was that? Did you record it? Gonna subscribe and thumbs up to support the worms!

[@disasterduck13]

Thanks for the video

[@doraw7766]

Thank you.

[@jackdavid167]

Do you think worms have feelings? they'd be fairly sad

[@StoneKathryn]

That was great information Ben! Thanks. Red Wigglers right? Worm bin?

[@gardenguychannel]

Yep!

[@StoneKathryn]

Thanks for answering me. I'm getting my worms May 7th!

[@echo1020lukka]

Where would I purchase a flock of red wigglers to start a bin? Looking forward to your worm tutorial. Benj, we don't use credit cards but would like to support you. Could we possibly send mail to you?

[@gardenguychannel]

Hey! Honestly the quickest way to snag some worms and get started is by going down to your local bait shop and getting some of the red wigglers. They're the average type of worms. Not the nightcrawler. But the red wigglers. And you're so kind! I'm working on setting up a PO Box for the channel and I'll make an announcement for that soon. Thank you!!

[@beyou2345]

Hey Benj i’m just letting you know you accidentally spelled here wrong on the five dollar Patreon

[@gardenguychannel]

Thank you a bunch! I went in and corrected it. I do appreciate it.

Red wrigglers variety of worms wil not survive in the wild. That's why they put them in worm bins. You'd probably be better off mixing rotting hamburger meat in the soil. Red wriggler like to be in the top 2-3" of material. Hopefully you can get a dark flat container for your saved worms and move them to a warm, above 70°, location where they can really start making csstings for you.

[@gardenguychannel]

I agree the warmer temps would speed up the process. I'm not too worried about them dying here though. Our winters don't get cold enough for that and plus we've bred these worms on our farm for years to be able to handle the cold so they should be fine. We shall see!

Hi Lorrie! The neighbors and our caretaker friend.

@@gardenguychannel I figured but just checking. I like dogs more than most people. But i think i would like you if we met. You seem to love your dogs

[@mariesheppard3750]

[@fatkorn]

I know they're just worms but i feel so bad for them as livestock an how terribly your family treated them. I get it they aren't pets but maybe treat them how beekeepers treat their little buddies.

[@Nrwich1]

Why all the neglect? They are animals, who let them starve an die?

[@snehilverma8110]

I really don't like it when people make long videos and waste half of their time in useless talks.
