Vermicomposting: Changing The World 1000 Worms At A Time

Can you tell that we're into our worm bin? As you saw in our last worm bin update, our bin had been getting a little sludgy and unproductive. Jay went online and found a source to buy red wigglers for cheap so we could bump up the composting production of our bin. Keeping an eye (and nose) on your bin will help you get a feel for how things are going in your worms' world.

Slick paper should not be used.



[sly2kusa]

Not a good idea to be putting papers that are bleached or with inks on the paper.

I heard you should n't be putting the paper with colors. just for your info

You can add to much food. Never to much bedding. My worms love all mellons.  If you need to add more air pockets add some tolet paper rolls.

interesting video at least you are enjoying and putting back into the earth. I have two worm bins from old pickle barrels outside but have a place outside for it. Where did you get the worms from and are the red wigglers?

Your girl friends voice and intonation reminds me of Sarah Silverman for some reason.

I get my worms for abt $23/lb (which included the shipping!) :} Unfortunately, because I was living in a pretty dry place this summer, my worms dried out & I lost the bin, so I started over this week.

I avoid putting color ink in the bedding... I have heard this is toxic unfortunately. So, I use black and white newspaper only. I am on the verge of harvest to see what's happening so I can start fresh for winter and place the bin indoors. Next time I am going to add a touch of straw for better air circulation. As far as prefered foods... I found that my worms love watermelon rinds.
