Yes, that is completely dried out, which probably is a bad thing, but i didn't intentionally do it, it is from long term storage. In fact, I still have this compost which was harvested over a year after I made this video. It isn't because I don't want to use it, it is because I am still having trouble producing it consistently.
Red decomposing soil mites are EVERYWHERE in the millions or billions most likely, but they seem to be helping a lot. I have earwigs and spiders too unfortunately.
I bought some 40 pound bag of garden lime for $4.50 from walmart. I hear there are 2 kinds of lime, garden lime and concrete lime, so what i got, should be safe to add to my worms, instead of buying calcium pills which cost WAY more. The calcium pills i recently got, had WAY more sugar than calcium, and refined sugar is bad for a worm bin and defeats the purpose of adding calcium!
When I made this video, I used pure calcium pills, with no sugar.
My compost looks like mush. Did you dry that out? Or do you keep yours much dryer than mine? I hear all kinds of things.

If you buy Lime, make sure that it doesn't have Potassium in it - that is bad news for worms.

It is easier to crush egg shells than paying for expensive calcium pills or lime. Plus egg shells are natural and cheaper.
