Worm Composting, Update #3
Loading...
Uploaded by garygardens on Jul 1, 2010
Time to add the second tray (of five) to the Worm Factory. In the past two months, we've composted a lot of food and paper scraps and the first tray has filled up and gained weight. We've got a large population of worms all working hard and making yummy castings for the garden! Need to give them more room.

@dire8straits Thanks, now that the bin has grown, I have three levels going now, it's amazing how much scrap thee worms can go through. We put very little into the garbage now.

@TheLazyRawVegan Thanks, I'm very happy with the results so far. Be sure to shop around though, I found prices varied a lot.

Your worms look really good. I like your bins. I might have to look into them to replace my homemade one.

How do you make your worm food?
daggermail1999 2 weeks ago
@daggermail1999 Thanks for the comment. For worm food, we save all vegetable scraps from the kitchen. Periodically, we run them through a food processor to chop them into small pieces and place that in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer. Just take a bag out when needed. The smaller pieces can be consumed faster by the worms and the freezing helps break down the cell structure which also make it easier and faster for the worms to consume.

Great video series. Question, why not put all the food in at once? won't the worms continue to reproduce to meet the amount of food available?

@1toomanyhobbies Thank you. I need to do some updated videos on the worm bin. It's been doing very well. Normally, it's best to avoid over-feeding the worms. They will reproduce to accommodate what's available but then you'd have to maintain that level. It's just my wife and myself so we don't generate that much waste and our worm bin manages all we have. I guess we've reached an equilibrium with them, lol.

Did you notice any liquid in the base of the WF. I never did get any, I did get some worms that found there way down. I just put them back in the feeding tray.

@Allen2045 Yes, I seem to get about a half cup of liquid every day. I'm about ready to empty the bottom tray. Can't wait to see what's in there.
