[@Vermicompost]

Great to have you back!! Now that the mandarin oranges skins are breached I bet the worms go for them more by next week's checkin!! Great video!!🪱🪱🪱

[@northeastworms]

Yea, I am pretty sure that those mandarin will not last one more week

[@growingwithfungi]

Interesting Gaetano, I thought I saw one in the bag. It won't last long I bet !! Cheers J&C 🌱🪱🌱

[@northeastworms]

Yes, actually I saw more than one worm, I think that they start to attack the rotting material

[@A-V]

Once those tangerines get started I have a feeling it won't last for very long... Looking forward to seeing what happens next time we check in

[@northeastworms]

I think that next time I check in they are all gone

It’s my understanding that worms don’t actually eat the food per se, but rather the decomposed matter digested by the microorganisms. It doesn’t matter what the organic matter was before decomposition. They will consume anything that can decompose.

Exactly, rhis is the point I want to show

@@northeastworms Ahhh, I’m late to the game. Using Bokashi is a good method for pre composting. Once I put my Bokashi in my outside compost it disappears in a few days. I’m fairly new to vermicomposing, but I’ve come to use sifted compost as my bedding and using worm chow to feed them. I’m using an open bin with a cardboard and plastic cover. Worms seem very healthy and vigorous. I keep them in my basement so I’m extra motivated to keep anything that will encourage flies. Thank you for your videos, they are very useful in helping me figure out the best method for me.

Thank you very much for watching my videos:)

Maybe dig underneath the bag next time Gaetano in case the worms are gathering in the juices below. ~ Sandra
