Ultimate Worm Castings Experiment: How Much Food It Takes?

[@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920]

Good morning, Ann, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 🥑🇺🇸 I agree with you, they should be called Walktails vs Springtails 🤣 I'm trying to get some Castings out of Little Wally so I can sift, but it is still too wet and the worms 🪱 are everywhere. Have a great Sunday 👍 ❤️Peggy ❤️

It is good to have multiple bins. I hope you get your casting on time. 😊

Thank you for the temperature and mass conversions! I’m from Europe and have no concept of Fahrenheit because the conversion formula is so complicated.

[@PlantObsessed]

I have almost always worked in a scientific field so I use metric unlike most people in the us. I'm glad it is useful 🙂

My springtails are the walkies! I thought it was a different critter until I did some more research. I had a whole batch of store-bought avocados not ripen on me, so I cut them in half and gave them to three different worm bins. In each case, the avocados have attracted huge crowds. But the flesh itself has gone into like a petrified state over the past four weeks. It's still pale green And hanging in there! ~ Sandra

I watch the sleepy lizard avocado farm channel. He explained that if the fruit is picked too early it will never ripen. He replaced the ones that didn't ripen.

Time for your fruit fly traps. 😁 I still can’t believe the size of those avocados 🥑 huge Glad you’re doing this experiment I think it’s neat knowing how much food and bedding it takes to make worm castings

[@PlantObsessed]

Yeah it was painful to give them to the worms. They are so good.

Great bin Ann.

[@PlantObsessed]

Thank you! 😊

Ack! I am not getting notifications despite (I think) all the right settings. Dag nabbit. My weekends are just not the same without morning worm videos 😍

[@PlantObsessed]

You might have some catching up to do lol. I have had to scale back.

I've been wanting to try lemon grass with the worms...I have some growing and it has sharp edges when it is alive but it looks like yours is going in cooked...I'll be interested to see if it is a very slow food like I think it will be!! Excellent update video!!🪱🪱🪱

[@PlantObsessed]

Yes we make lemon grass tea and olive oil. It is still very stiff even after being cooked.

[@AJsGreenTopics]

Muddy thumbs up worms. 👍

[@PlantObsessed]

Thanks 👍

No signs of the pumpkin's stem? Seems unlikely that it would've vanished so quickly. Perhaps it is still floating around in there but you just missed it while looking around?

[@PlantObsessed]

I went back and looked at the old video. I don't think it had a stem. Well we will see in another 3 weeks😁

[@A-V]

There's no sign of a stem 'cause there never was one. That is a much, much easier-to-believe explanation :)
