HI Brent, nice video. I've a store near by which sells vermi compost bags - does vermi compost serve the same purpose as Potting mix? or do i have to mix anything to VC again to make it a proper potting mix?
@GeorgesMuzikVideos Hey George, you should had a cover on your bin and it should have holes drilled into it. The bottom can have holes too. If it has holes, your bin will have some juice leaking out at some point, so you can raise the bin on two small blocks of wood and have a plastic door mat or something to catch the liquid.
You want the paper in your bin to be moist when you start out. Generally, you won't need to add water later on... the organic matter that you add periodically will keep the content at a good moisture level. We'll be filming a couple follow up videos this spring to clear things up!
As for the worms, you can order them online... maybe find someone you know who has some red wrigglers or check on kijiji (where I found mine). Red wigglers, aka Eisenia fetida are some of the most commonly used in North America for vermicomposting.
great share! thanks brent! :)
