I love that you are testing these myths in a big way in a big system. The results should be conclusive. I’m looking forward to it! ~ Sandra

I love this series!! I was thinking "wow that new tool is working great" and then you said it later in the video😂 I am excited to see how fast the worms go after the fresh onions!! I forgot, how many worms do you have in this big CFT? Awesome video my friend!!🪱🪱🪱

[@northeastworms]

I don't know exactly, I thinks around 25 pounds

Love your videos and looking to buy some of your pure red wigglers. When will you have some ready for purchase?

[@northeastworms]

Thank you Danny. I am trying to reorganize my stock and soon I will announce that

[@dannydebresen1623]

Thank you sir

[@ericcarver7465]

nice vid! Guess we find out in a few days how it will work out. Unrelated question: where do you buy your bulk food for your worm chow? I think you said Tractor Supply?

[@northeastworms]

Tractor supply for the pulverized limestone and alphalpha, the rest from a wholesale food distribution center

[@ericcarver7465]

@@northeastworms Gotcha! thanks brother. That explains why I couldn't find it!

[@bdawe967]

Hey buddy, just a heads up each thumbnail of the forbidden food series says episode 1

[@northeastworms]

Thank you, yes is episode 1 of the specific food. Onions/1 - Chicken/1 mandarin/2. On the weekly update I will write onions/2 .... in effect can be a little confusing. Thank you very much for taking this to my attention

[@PlantObsessed]

Lol I wonder if onion make worms cry 😭

[@northeastworms]

lol

[@connecticutwormsgardens]

My opinion is that if there is no other food in the bin, the worms will slowly pick away at the onions once the onions have begun to break down and some of the sulfur or much of the sulfur has been released. Sulfur is what typically deters worms from onions. Shallots are more palatable to them and they will eat shallots readily. Red onions contain the highest amount of sulfur, yellow onions the second highest and Vidalia sweet onions contain the least amount of sulfur. Many other worm bin helpers are going to start the breakdown of those onions and eventually make it where they are appetizing to the worms I'm sure.

[@northeastworms]

thank you very much for your apport to the discussion

[@connecticutwormsgardens]

@@northeastworms you're welcome. I don't know how much I can contribute but I'm very fascinated in the outcome

[@jonahavri9606]

Maybe ive missed it but if those onions arent decaying, in my opinion they will grow 😊

[@northeastworms]

This is a possibility, this is why I want to do this experiment, to see what happens

[@jonahavri9606]
