【SDGs】300 Worms vs Banana

Experiment of vermicompost. You can understand how earthworms and microorganisms decompose garbage.
Vermicompost can not only decompose garbage ecologically but also create natural fertilizer.

Their son or daughter might be watching this in a bid to help save the planet (and thus humanity) another way :)

If he were to cut the banana in half length wise they might have finished it off in half the time. The waxy cover on the banana kept it from breaking down. I always cut fruit and veggies up to speed up the decay process by exposing the softer fleshy parts

[@naturetrip]

exactly your are right. it is important to cut to speed up decay process, acutally worms don't eat "Banana" they eat micro animals which are on the surface of decay bananas.

[@vinniez2188]

@@naturetrip I believe worms excrete enzymes, the enzymes break down organic matter into food the worms can ingest. Along with working in tandem with the microbiology.

[@CaptainMattsWorms]

Great Video...Cool to see the worms in action! I puree most everything I feed my worms now, The more it is broken down, the faster they consume!

My wife and I decided to try worm composting when our state passed mandatory composting laws. Instead of putting it in the yard waste bin we decided to try to get the great fertilizer for our gardening attempts. We use a subpod (not advertising for that here) and started with 2k worms and I have been honestly amazed how much they have eaten through.....rinds of 4 large watermelons, countless bananna peels. Once I shucked 10 ears of corn and put the husks in and it took a bit but its all gone. The amount of shreadded paper we've used to provide bedding.....its absolutely amazing how much they go through and how much volume they reduce it to after castings are produced. I'm nowhere near filling either side of it with castings but I'v put at least 10 times worth of food and paper volume wise through there.

[@IamLentil]

Wow that's amazing! I been seriously considering getting the mini subpod, but one thing I'm hesitating on is my extreme fear of worms, so seeing 2k worms in one spot, I might just die😢 although I love gardening and have a tiny bin that I use for composting, I have thrown some garden worms in there and they have bred, it's always my nightmare opening it, but have gotten so much worm castings as I truly just open it every fer months, I try to bury our food wastes instead 😅

[@olatutuakinyelure9680]

At first I was just burying stuff in a flower bed by back door. Now I add a little paper. I put paper all over my yard. You cannot tell. It's decayed

[@gardenmoment1975]

why Potassium is important in plants: - Potassium regulates the opening and closing of stomata thus regulating the uptake of CO2 thus enhancing photosynthesis. - It triggers activation of important biochemical enzymes for the generation of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP provides energy for other chemical and physiological processes such as excretion of waste materials in plants. - It plays a role in osmoregulation of water and other salts in plant tissues and cells. - Potassium also facilitates protein and starch synthesis in plants. - It activates enzymes responsible for specific functions.

[@fishmut]

Another type of food the worms love is pumpkin , if you got a spare pumpkin or an old one or got to many , put some quarter cuts or half cut pumpkin in the freezer for a day or 2 , freezing it makes it go soggy and very soft , after take it out leave it to room temperature and then put it in your worm farm with the skin side facing up , the worms really love pumpkin like they did the banana. 👍

I didn't know that worms like pumpkin I will try it thanks!

[@thereseember2800]

Our family raised hybrid red stripers. All rabbit ranches have them under the cages because rabbits don’t 100% digest pellets. There were sprinklers under the cages. In worm beds, we covered w/ hay for shade & turned the soil once a week. Each worm can have 23 babies, so 46 per coupling. They shed castings in the soil which is 100% protein. If worms are in a ball, they’ll start secreting a clear foam (similar to snails) & they can die from this.

Great time laps, thanks for posting. My worms are happy campers and invited their family & friends. I started with 1 big plastic garbage can and added holes, now I have 3. Do you also give them a worm chow? I've watched others that raise worms and they mentioned it.

[@naturetrip]

thanks for your comment! you also raising worms, 3 bins!! no, I just giving food scraps. what kind of worm chow?? I am also interested in!

[@busygirl2681]

@@naturetrip The worm chow I make is probably different because the garbage bins are left outside and are emptied once a year if I have time to get to all of them. I give them kitchen scraps, leftover cooked rice, crushed up egg shells, cornmeal, oatmeal, and coffee grounds. They love sweet fruit, nothing citrus unless really broken down. I add some dirt from the yard into shredded paper, cardboard along with coconut coir. I also add spent flowers and fresh and rotten leaves from the yard. Worms like wood that is rotting as well as super soft pinecones. I found them in my large compost pile years ago that's why I add them to my garbage bins now. Pinecones take forever to break down so unless they are super soft I don't add them, they go in yard waste recycling bin. I did and experiment in one garbage can and added some meat inside a small bucket with a lid to keep Animals out. I put lots of holes on bottom and up 3" on the sides, so worms could come in and out. Then air holes all the way around the side of the container for fresh air. Then I buried it part way in the center so the raccoons couldn't knock it over. It's a mini version of the large can except with some meat added. They eat the meat : ) For a treat I let a banana get super ripe then put in the freezer until it hardens up so I can cut it into 3 pieces, one for each bin. I'm unconventional but it works and my garbage cans are outside. I learn a lot from you and worm farmers, now I know what a cocoon looks like. Love your videos.
