The World's Largest Worm Farm (You've Never Heard Of)

[@t0mt0mt0m]

Your video production have been improving drastically over time making your company, well done.

[@UrbanWormCompany]

Thanks Tom!

[@nancyjensen8234]

Thank you for educating me and I could listen to your beautiful voice all day 👍

[@TrapperBV]

What an intricate process. Interesting stuff. Great video!

[@UrbanWormCompany]

I appreciate it Trapper! Hope you've been well.

The clean water would be an important part of the farm to use for irrigation and they could spread the worm castings on their paddocks for better grass growth for cows, but they’d make more money selling the castings. Interest topic, similar principle as human sewerage waste to kill pathogens etc and clean the water aerobically and other process to release clean water back into river systems.😊🇦🇺

[@aok2727]

So, what do they do with the castings?

[@Vermicompost]

Very cool operation...great job simplifying a complex process and explaining the science behind it!! Sounds like they have some punctual free range cows!! Awesome video Steve, I learned a lot!!🪱🪱🪱

[@UrbanWormCompany]

Thanks so much VLD!

[@johnduffy6546]

OK...I need to pick up my jaw from the floor...I had seen the videos from the early days of Worm Power and I was totally impressed at that time...This video, transports me to a whole new worm galaxy of a scale I could have never imagined...WOW

[@UrbanWormCompany]

Yeah, the scale of this place is pretty nuts!

[@firehorsewoman414]

Love the video -still chuckling over “udder suckers” and you equating an full udder with full bladder. LOL. On a more serious note, your screening issue with the too sticky material, is there a way to get the worms to “screen” themselves. Not sure what that would be but an external stimulus that would cause them to migrate toward a small area. Idk just thoughts rumbling in my head. Also, when you talk about market, if you have access to large amounts think large applications and target those customers - the farmer in the midwest who now grows organic but is growing on hundreds of acres, or the orchards etc. A lot of those large monoculture farms sure would benefit from some black gold. They could sell to Floret.

[@UrbanWormCompany]

Not offbase...... The worms could screen possibly themselves using a large, flat screen suspended off the ground under bright light (sunlight or mademade). The worms would be repelled by the light and would make their way down through the mesh. Also, we sell to very large customers and there are several issues with trying to sell these castings. For one, the transportation costs would be a huge part of the sales to places as far as the Midwest. The quantity coming online at one time would be difficult to sell (perhaps presell them) in a timely manner. The cleanouts are happening at varying times of year, some of which would be high-demand times, but sometimes at low-demand times. The cost and effort to screen this material would be extensive as well. Just tough. Not impossible, but hard.

[@firehorsewoman414]

@@UrbanWormCompany very interesting issues, but I hope solutions come about. This is when I really regret not having more knowledge about business production and the biology aspects of it all. Also, didn’t mean selling small, like what I buy - a bag here or there, just not on a grand industrial scale like you referenced for this problem. Do you have any information on whether worms processing manure can “clean” grazon from contaminated manures?

[@xuzan78]

This is so cool!!! Love it

[@UrbanWormCompany]

Thanks Susan!

[@Elijah12459]

Which worm bin do you recommend? I started in storage bins but don't like to dig them out so much to harvest. I have lots of food scaps I want to use and also want to be able to harvest compost quickly and more frequently. Also should I get more than just one?

[@UrbanWormCompany]

Hey there! We manufacture the Urban Worm Bag and it's been a hit! shop.urbanwormcompany.com/collections/urban-worm-bag

[@hyperiondig]

Thanks for the video - this is very interesting and could be used in third world countries as well.

[@UrbanWormCompany]

Yes...and it very much is in certain regions of India. Cuba is also pretty advanced when it comes to vermicomposting. For any countries where waste management is difficult, they've kind of been forced into being good at composting and vermicomposting!

[@Eg_Eggs]

This is amazing

[@UrbanWormCompany]

Yeah that place was crazy

[@rodlasher8478]

Very interesting and it's even in my own state.

[@jshkrueger]

Lol! There are a couple of terms for the "udder suckers". The individual "udder sucker" is called a "teat cup". The grouping of teat cups, usually four, for an individual cow is called a "milking cluster". Hope that helps! 😂

[@UrbanWormCompany]

Haha! I'm gonna stick with "udder suckers!!" :)

[@Kylescultivationfarmsandfilmst]

Excellent informative video. I thought at first it would be my noke worm farm in New Zealand. I first heard of this worm farm in Bentley christy red worm composting

[@UrbanWormCompany]

Yep....Bentley's been aware of this place for quite awhile!

[@sherrywebster1675]

Worms are the future :)))

[@annelm369]

So very cool!! Yet another amazing thing these worms can do!!... But damn did I laugh... The cow's udder is on a 12 hour schedule and begins to get uncomfortable, so they welcome the relief... It's a milking machine... Udder sicker!! 😂 😂 😂 😂

[@UrbanWormCompany]

I'm gonna stick with udder suckers! 😆

[@earthbuddyeoin]

I believe MYNOKE is the largest commercial vermicast business in the world.

[@bernventer5949]

Did you take into account Washington DC? It may be larger.

[@UrbanWormCompany]

Gah! I see what you did there....

[@Sharkdog11b]

NOT milking cows is incredibly inhumane take that peta

[@salmanfaruqui6071]

Selling 10000 Q meter you actually becomes your own worst enemy, that’s scary. 😅

[@UrbanWormCompany]

For pricing, you absolutely do become your own enemy!

[@kromsnavelfun]

Absolutely don't like those farmers

[@randomjay3633]

I'd put money down that you don't understand half the technical terms you threw out 🤔
