The Taj Mahal of Worm Farms

CHECK MY COURSE HERE: / @martysgarden
Have you seen the Taj Mahal of Worm Farms?
I have been working on this style of farming for some time with a local friend.
He actually perfected the method by adding another tier of carbon such as Sugarcane or Straw.
I found he was working so well that I had to try it myself and BOOM!
It's working so well, it is now my favourite way to run and manage a vertical tired farm at home.
The worms love it. I can feed more and they breed like crazy in there.
If you are enjoying my content and want to learn how to get up and running quickly consider becoming a Worm Wrangler.
The Worm Wranglers members area level 3 has everything and more for all you worm farmers wanting to get started or go to the next level.
Happy Worm farming
Marty

Martysgarden has not been appearing in my recommended videos recently... but today one popped up. Always fun to watch videos about worm tower systems on other people's channels 👍🏻

[@martysgarden]

G'day AV, always nice to hear from you mate. This farm is a real beauty of of my best so far. I will need to update on it soon😀

[@A-V]

Terrific - keep up the great work!

[@deborahb777]

Watch this 3 times Marty ,couldn't wait 😄had to give it a go .set my Cafe up this arvo ,just need to add another 1000 wormys 😉😊Your the Worm King Marty 🤴

[@martysgarden]

Hehehe, yes the Taj Mahal is a winner for sure!

[@angelau1194]

I have one and there are so many wisps 🤩(isn't that a lovely name?), they are sooo tiny. I always pour the drench back over them but I've always been reluctant to steal any of the castings 😮‍💨It's getting quite hot here in SA so I think I'd better leave well alone. I shou've said "hello from the future...2024 🥰" Love to you and yours Xx

[@martysgarden]

Hi Angela, thanks for sharing with me

[@skyethewylder]

Our Worm Factory 360 is now on 90 days and we added the third tray. I wish I had seen this before, I didn't think to go ahead and stack the trays. When I fed yesterday I couldn't believe how many teeny tiny whisps (baby worms) there were in there. We started with 1000 wrigglers and 100 nightcrawlers. The worm sifter is coming tomorrow so we can look at harvesting the lower tray, but now I am thinking, should we just wait? I know the worm compost is better after four months of marinating, so to speak, and we wont need it until our spring garden next year. I would give anything to get straw hay (sugar cane hay must just come from the gods). We live in the high altitude desert area of The Land of Enchantment (New Mexico, USA). The drought has hit hard and the ONLY hay to be found is $30 USD alfalfa per regular size bale. Yet, if that is better than coco coir I would gladly pay for it. They are enchanting little creatures. I named them Das Verms in honor of my German husband. ❤

[@skyethewylder]

Forgot to add, I started running their veggie food through a food processor to help them a long. We are vegan so it doesn't take long to rack up a ton of veggie scraps for them. Do you think the food processor is a good idea? I know it never smells bad in there.

[@martysgarden]

Would chips are good also,,better than coir

[@martysgarden]

Good idea for sure

[@lis819]

Followed your advice here and it’s working a treat! Thanks! Finally the worms are looking happy :))

[@martysgarden]

Great to hear that Elizabeth, it's one of my favourite methods at home. Just refilled my levels the other day to start again. The castings were great!😀

[@DedaNovik]

Hi! Interesting video! An interesting channel! Like + Friendship! Health and Good Luck!

[@martysgarden]

thanks Deda,,you too!

[@Vermicompost]

Great worm tower there Marty!! Start with 2000 worms, I totally agree, they really jump started my tower!! Great video!!🪱🪱🪱

[@martysgarden]

Awesome! stoked for you😀

[@whileriding]

Are you using this for the fertilizer alone or compost also?

[@martysgarden]

Hi Nick, the small tiered worm farms like this are really designed to create, fertile castings and a liquid worm drench that can be accessed daily in the warmer months. My larger systems like windrows and Biggest Worm Farm Eva systems are both compost and castings.

[@whileriding]

@@martysgarden Thanks so much! I'm new to the channel so I'll explore a bit more.

[@18Bees]

hello hello brother its been 1 year this month since I joined your worm wrangler club. my garden has benefited from the stuff i've picked up via your videos AND my worms breed like crazy. Cheers mate.

[@martysgarden]

That's so awesome my friend. Truly happy for you😀

[@healingheartsulladulla563]

awsome i got one myself will give the sugar cane mulch a run

[@martysgarden]

It takes a bit longer but works great

[@Patriarchy_69]

Taj Mahal is actually a tomb🤣

[@martysgarden]

Oh

[@glennysgardening7838]

Missed ya brother I'm living back up at Normanton now worms are still happy 😊 iv got tha biggest mob of casting now ill do a quick video today I got tha day off

[@martysgarden]

awesome!

[@johnr8996]

Awesome worm farm Marty.

[@martysgarden]

Thanks 👍 john

[@ckchan9180]

Another tip I found helpful was to use a watering can to collect the drench. Then I just water it from the top with the watering can. Also I use an old Brita water filter jug to get the chlorine out of the tap water and use that.

[@martysgarden]

Great tip!

[@davidparish2343]

Hi Marty, really appreciate your videos but would like a few points clarified. Your Taj Mahal has four layers. Can you just itemise each level again What is in the very bottom layer. Is that where the "tea" is stored. Where is the vermicast and how often should that be harvested.

[@martysgarden]

Everything I teach is all condensed down here in too quick digestible content inside the Worm Wrangler's members area level 3 kzbin.info/door/nPkv-JUX4Pqn_LYbykzAtwjoin full course provided. Thanks Marty

[@davecannabis]

how long do worms live in that type of setup?

[@martysgarden]

Years, but they get over crowded

[@Doctorsherry]

Hahahahahahaha. You must tell me from where did you thought to write the taj mahal word. Do you know about this?

[@martysgarden]

Mahaal,,Indonesian Expensive!

[@Doctorsherry]

Taj mahal is one of the 7 wonder in the world. It is in india!

[@Coolclimatetropicalfruits]

Looks like it’s working well Marty 👍👍

[@barrywatler7482]

Hi Marty nice video I have a worm cafe at home and 4 at the community centre so might give it a go. Just changing the subject how is your sleep apnea I got test and diagnosed as severe so now have a CPAP machine take care.

[@martysgarden]

Sorry to hear about your apnea, hope the machine works well for you! Mine is up and down

[@barrywatler7482]

@@martysgarden hey Marty my machine is good i do sleep longer, I have to hire one for a couple of months and then QLD Health give me one for nothing.

[@patrickbowie7246]

Hey Marty, I love the videos you make.

[@martysgarden]

Glad you like them, thanks so much for letting me know!

[@annsalty5615]

Marty, this is the Tumbleweed worm cafe, yes? I got one of these a few months ago, but followed the manufacturer's advice which is totally different than how you are using it? I think? Would love to know how you are dealing with the sump below the trays. Are you putting material there to help worms move back up?

[@martysgarden]

Hi Ann, in the bottom there is a cone they crawl back up. I dont have anything in the base. I plan to do an update on my Taj Mahaal as soon as I can. Been so busy moving house to my new awesome space

[@mohamedfadli7604]

hi, my question is banana trees good for worm composting? and is it brown materials?

[@martysgarden]

yes it is

[@bendigofruittrees9979]

Hey Marty, nice video i have a worm café as well. Quick question, I am looking at potentially trying to grow some cuttings from my citrus trees and wondering if could grow them in pure worm castings instead of soil?

[@martysgarden]

No I wouldnt recommend it,,however 10% cast will really help in a cutting mix. 😀

[@pinballwizard6906]

✌️😎

[@ckchan9180]

Hi Marty. I’ve started the same worm farm about a month ago. I started it using 2 tiers and left one empty and the worms seem to be doing well. I used a mix of coco coir, mushroom compost and coffee grounds and fine wood chips. So now should I add another tier just using sugar cane mulch just below the top tier to add the carbon content? Will the worms have any trouble moving through the sugar cane mulch?

[@martysgarden]

No, keep it fluffy and they move into it

[@downundervlogs]

Thats how i was doing my cafe as well . Though the hungry bin and darlek are doing really well. How's your biggest worm farms going?

[@martysgarden]

I need to rebuild some more, still have worms in them
