I’m not sure if you’re aware yet but that “worm juice” is liquid gold as fertilizer

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

I use castings and make liquid gold compost tea. It’s amazing;)

[@atlasboucher543]

That is what i call a patient man

[@RobertasArtisticAdventures]

The Vermihut worm bin looks awesome!

[@lilahnewton7940]

I'm surprised you've only been doing KZbin for a short time, your such a natural at it!! ❤😁🙋‍♀️

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

Thank you so much my Lilah!! Love you!

[@maryranch5329]

Looks like some really nice products...thanks for sharing 👍😁

[@karenspeer7378]

Very Cool!! I can't wait to see you use them and your opinions! 👍😉

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

Me too! Thanks Karen!! I have been looking for red wrigglers locally, not having much luck :( Might have to go online :)

[@AuntieAnn]

Wow those are really cool, especially the raised bed. It's like a "Little Tikes" bed 😃👍

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

That is exactly what is is like!! That stuff lasts forever!!

[@mountainlivinghomestead429]

These are so cool. I will have to look into them.

[@papawsplace]

I would take the waist and pour on my plants. Great Video! 👍

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

It wouldn't hurt, just be like watering, but there is no vermiculture benefit within the leche:)

[@papawsplace]

I didn't know it wouldn't have any benefits.

[@Jasongy827]

I can’t wait to use mine

I wasn't interested in the 2nd item that you showed, but I was interested in the worm bin tower. You didn't show that you put the coconut mat in the cover like they want you to do. That helps flies not come into the tower. It goes into the cover 1st, and then the white piece goes in to hold it in, with the little tab sticking right into The coconut Mat. When I got my 1st tower, I had an awful time figuring out what to do with that. I read everything I could find on it before I figured it out.. Once I figured it out, of course, it made so much sense! Hindsight is so good! Lol! The reason I watched your video is to see if you put the layers of newspaper Under the bedding in your 1st bin or not. I did, and I'm not sure I'm happy about it....but I'm looking for answers, I guess. I can see some reasons for doing it like they said, and some reasons Why I wish I hadn't done it. What is your opinion on that?

[@smc7929]

Thank you for this! I received one for Mother’s Day and we couldn’t figure out where it went! Lol

[@AnastasiaLipske]

Thank you I didn’t know where the coconut mat went either. They mentioned it in the instruction booklet, but they don’t tell you what to do with it.

[@miguelboricuapatientlongsu1855]

My wiggle ears need a home like that 👍🏼

[@possumrunhomestead]

Looks nice! Those will be fantastic in the garden!!

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

Thanks MamaV! Im excited to get the worms going in this new tower! How is the homestead going?

[@elizabethcouts7004]

I’ll have to check out the raised bed.👍🏻

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

It was really easy to just place together with a pin. I haven't used them yet, need to get some soil :)

[@CoreyCynthiaDavis]

Looks like very nice and durable stuff. Hey and out by the road you guys can put a sign out that says "we got worms" 😆 Yall have a good one

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

Jeremy would LOVE THAT!! Bumble BEE TUNA!! LOL

[@ManUpTime263]

I don't think you put it together correctly. Do you see the height of every tray in the photo vs your end result?

[@ricardocobhc8175]

I was thinking the same thing

[@JJamiah]

@@ricardocobhc8175me too

[@shanepratt2766]

I just bought one and this video was much better than reading the instructions. LOL Thanks for posting. BTW--I live in L A and the amount of room / land you guys have is INSANE! Enjoy it.

[@richardjolley6414]

Sorry but you said to through away the liquid in the bottom tray and i say no way that liquid i use it to help me make worm tea i guess you do not make this item try it the worm tea is great for plants any kind of plants. It was a great video i have 4 of these bins and they all work fine i am starting this winter to make large out door bins and get them ready for spring and the farmer market crowd they all love worm castings and worm tea. Thank you for the videos they are all great keep up the good work. Rich Jolley

[@ALL4TRUTHANDFREEDOM]

Great video! The spigot looks too high for ease of discharge liquid gold into a bucket. I have a worm cafe myself and I’m about onemonth into my beginners worming 🐛 ❤️

[@rickyd1126]

Mmmmm no yes use that in your garden.

[@brianwireman9904]

Sorry but I keep hearing or seeing people say you can put the worms under your kitchen sink or in the wash room ect… but the fact is worms don’t like high vibrations so if you have a dishwasher in the kitchen or washer an dryer in your wash room would make those places a bad spot for your worms unless you don’t mind worms crawling all over your house, that’s one of the reasons worms come out when raining because of the rain hitting the ground and vibrating the ground plus obviously to much water they can’t breathe and if you don’t believe me look up worm grunting and yes I’ve had this happen to me before in my early stages of vermicomposting atm I have my worms outside by my house and is about 5 to 6 feet away from my Ac unit and really havnt had a problem but if thier close to a washer or dryer then expect a worm apocalypse 😂 ty for the video I have same hut btw with uncle Jim’s red wigglers

[@pastaislovepastaislife]

Does it naturally produces those "compost tea" at the bottom or must you water them once in a while and then get more compost tea?

[@sharonbolton3576]

❤🤗

[@ManUpTime263]

Why would you not use the "leche" as fertilizer in your garden?

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

It’s just the water run off. I make casting tea, which is aerated to grow the good bacteria for a foliar spray.

[@jtfalkner]

How bad is the odor while in use? Im looking into something like this to farm worms in my aquarium room for live food. Also, how many red worms would this maintain?

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

Never ever have I smelled an odor, I assume if you over feed the smell would be rotten food. I keep mine in the living room, never ever any issues;)

[@willisdockery3972]

Worm bed may work fine if you can keep people from taking worms fishing 😆

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

you must really know how Preston and Parker love to fish!! LOL , RIGHT??

[@happytexashomestead6630]

We got one of those, arrived today. What’s the cloth for? I couldn’t figure that out.

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

You would use it to lay on top if you do not want the worms to escape or travel up to the next level;)

[@cookie761]

@@ParagonRidgeRanch I Didn't want my poor worms to end up down in that Leachate, so I took that white cloth and wrapped it around the white lower plastic piece with the holes in it...that lays right on top of the base. I flipped it over and folded it around the White piece and I used the home stapler to staple the folded parts together. So now the "worm saver" is actually a worm saver because the liquid can go down through that cloth but the worms can't. I thought that was a very good use for it, although I didn't know either what it was supposed to be used for. I'm really happy I did it the way I did! It's working very nicely. I don't have even juice that goes down there because I run my bins only medium wet. Nothing gets done that far. I'm having so much fun and I love my worms!

[@nolebloodedfarmer7445]

the leche is actually liquid gold fertalizer basically. Just a minor correction you want the vermileche You might have to siphon out to get it to being usable for the garden but do not call it waste please for the love of god. Every so thing the worm, the seed the grass, the cow, the chickens, the sheep the goats all have a purpose given by god. People need to Learn to live with the earth not on the earth. Consider if you have fertilizer compost piles adding that liquid gold to em.

[@RnRCustomDesigns]

No, it is not the same as worm compost tea. The leachate can be bad for your plants. Worm compost tea is made from the finished worm castings.

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

thank you benjamin. All my research shows its just the extra water that was leached out of the feed. I use the actual worm castings to make a tea. I place it in a sack, put in in a large barrel , add molasses and run an aerator a few days to make it grow more microbial. I then take this tea and use it as a foliar spray on my vegetables. AMAZING results!!

[@pattyprice2644]

😃😀

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

Good Morning Patty!

[@brent5832]

You put those washers on backwards

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

I’ll check it;)

[@bingram5645]

Please use the waste juice. The waste juice is just as important as the worm castings.

[@GuiltlessOne]

Lost me at the beginning when the box said "Made in China." Guess I'll find another manufacturer.

Leach aid is golden if diluted 1/10 rat don’t put on anything you want to eat.
