Original red wiggler worms in 71-day bins fed after 2 weeks - vermicompost

Moisture in the "original" red wiggler worm bins is high... but the worms like it that way & it keeps them highly productive - so after feeding the systems are covered again with plastic to prevent evaporation

Wow that is nuts they ate that so fast. Good worms🎉🎉

The sugar bag had some leftovers remaining but I saw no signs of the flour bag. They sure did away with that previous feeding nicely 👍🏻

I put some watermelon into me Vermihut and yesterday when i was harvesting the castings, I noticed I had some pot worms in there. A tad bit too wet but it's okay. I put some fresh bedding and tossed in some diatomaceous earth. I did notice something else. The red wigglers are lighter in color in my bin as compared to the ones in my resting potting soil. Those worms have a really dark color on their "back" I wonder if it's the higher nitrogen in the soil compared to the worm bin.

Interesting theory on why there are differences in color. Whether it's the explanation or not I do not know - your guess is as good as mine :)

Hey AV, did that bag of mini carrots go bad in your fridge or did you take it out on a picnic and just not open it or something? With summer heat, even sitting in a hot airplane or delivery truck will also sour produce pretty quickly. I gave my bins carrot once to see if the beta carotene would change the worm colour - maybe you could watch for that next time?! ~ Sandra

I have not made any formal announcements in any of my videos about my household appliance woes - but long story short, my refrigerator died. And where those baby carrots came from I am not sure... perhaps from my mom - or maybe it surfaced from the back of my frig's crisper. After the frig issue arose, I gradually started depleting my collection of worm foods - but their frozen state ended days before I managed to deplete it all :)

@@A-V Yikes! Never a good time when that happens. ~ Sandra

[@A-V]

You can say that again :)
