i love your enthusiasm :)

This guy reminds me of my annoying brother!

should have named this video, "how to kill worms". I would not use this method- ever!

[fetymann]

this guy has a good idea, but I think those bins are toooo deep, it'll be hard to turn the soil without harming the worms. I don't know why he used Nightcrawlers, especially if they are Canadian Nightcrawlers, from what I've read they need colder ground and they burrow several feet down. Not really good for composting.

how would you collect the casting from these bins ?

how would you seperate the worms from their castings when you use this method?

seems to me the worms might suffocate..even though you drilled some holes on the sides.

am I wrong ?

[CardsandDice1]

I would not use this method

Can worms compost construction or loose leaf paper?

[cmsalvagio]

yes they can it helps to shred it

If no 1/2 way rotten kitchen scraps are added when you first add your worms, you will def need to moist the composted mulch. Worms don't have teeth to chew on compost or grass. Need to place a screen at the bottom of the bin. Need NOT to expose to sun or worms will die. Need a shorter bin for when you need to turn the pile if needed.

I keep my bins in an area that is always shaded off of my deck outdoors. Texas summers are often in excess of 100 degrees yet the bedding feels cool, because it is. Decomposition produces some heat in the winter and the moisture plus good airflow works like a swamp cooler in the summer. However, I haven't really gone through a winter yet, nor even a full summer. Time will tell.

55-80 temp, but optimal is between 70-80 but at 90 they'll cook. Best composting worms are Red Wrigglers, and those are good bait worms too, just smaller than the Nightcrawlers.

[urbandorothy]

it looks cold where you are... I heard worm bins won't work at temps under 54 degrees?

Nightcrawlers are best used for fishing bait but they do help garden..

Hey. What do the nightcrawlers do? I know red worms are good at composting but what about nightcrawlers. Fishing worms?
