These visits with worm farmers, introducing us to the people & showing us their operations, are awesome. Keep up the great work - thanks Capt Matt & Jude!!

[@CaptainMattsWorms]

Thanks @A-V ... we might have to bring the tour bus (Honda Civic) your way soon!

[@A-V]

That would give me a reason to tidy up the disaster area that I call home _(how much does it cost to rent a bulldozer & dumpster for a week or two??)_ Haha!

[@lynnelichtenstern-ug1fb]

You have challenged me! To go around my neighborhood and offer samples.....I am just getting started and have a fear of meeting new people.

[@OrganicLifeAmendments]

I am so glad to see that your response is to challenge yourself 💪🪱 Doing this interview was huge for me as I’ve lived as a hermit my entire life. When we come out of our comfort zones amazing things can happen! I wish you the best, please keep me updated in your journey.

@@OrganicLifeAmendmentsYou were fantastic! You motivated me to do more with my two small indoor bins I started just 5 months ago. I just have a couple raised vegetable beds and some areas for flowers. I’m going to sift my bins and split them to increase the worm population and get more castings. And to hear your and Matt’s opinions on what is happening in the world right now is an affirmation to my own thoughts. Back to basics! My first medicinal herb has germinated and I have learned how to pressure can my veggie harvest! I love that your kids are at your feet and wife by your side when you are worming. You are a good guy!

[@barbaravanerp4598]

Good for you! You’ll meet your tribe and the others will be obvious. But that’s ok.

[@dannyschumaker]

Once u get over that fear u will go places :). Just talking to people and being real with them and genuine makes a world a difference. When I was younger I used to think I could sell a turd to someone if given enough time to talk to them.

[@OrganicLifeAmendments]

Thank you!! I wish you well in your journey!

[@danrussel7294]

I have the same questions several others have asked. Where do you order the bags and what do you sell them for? Thanks for the sharing.

[@OrganicLifeAmendments]

Hello Dan, my apologies for the late reply. I order my bags from Amazon. Firekiln is the brand I do believe. Kraft paper bags. Prices can vary depending on location and whatever you decide of course, but we sell ours for: 1 qt- 8.00 1 gallon-15.00 5 gallon-35.00 Hope this helps.

[@Tommyatoms]

I have been doing worm herding since my daughter was a baby and I just love it. Ive never had enough to sell but I have given some to friends and most of them now ask me for castings every spring. I think people are starting to get it. I'm seriously considering setting up a little business now that I recently retired. Good luck to yall.

[@jfilet]

good stuff

[@CocoKmimi]

Amazing channel!!

[@CaptainMattsWorms]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@durritidumange]

I love all of your videos. Have learned a ton of helpful info. One thing I haven't seen covered is how to prevent/ eliminate pests. Specifically, fruit flies and fungus gnats. I've used Steinernema feltiae with some success but overall gnats have been a serious problem in open breeding bins and somewhat exposed bins like continuous flow through systems. Any tips to offer?

[@dontecrane4495]

Hey Captain Matt,where can I get the bags that you are selling the worms castings in(gallon bags that you see casting in

[@jillwdunn]

I have the same question. Thanks for the video!

[@danrussel7294]

I guess they're not able to answer. Go to uline search tie tin food bags

[@michaelwalborn1384]

Where do you get the compost and bedding for your first batch of worms

[@troydunn6228]

Really appreciate the video. What do you use for your bedding for the Euros? Thanks

[@OrganicLifeAmendments]

Thanks I am glad you found it informative! We use a NOP compliant compost. It’s leaf waste and organically grown food waste.

[@troydunn6228]

@@OrganicLifeAmendments sounds good. I have been calling and looking for a source. Our dumps so far are not willing to allow people to take it. Thank you.

[@ookiee1]

what sifter do you use?

[@OrganicLifeAmendments]

I am currently using a handheld sifter from Amazon, nothing fancy. I just ordered a sifter from memes worms. I sifted 45 gallons last night and it took me 4 hours 🤪
