How to feed a worm bin - with grains
Step 1: Remove your lid/top layer
Step 2: sprinkle grain on the top of bedding. I always air on the side of caution and only feed half at a time. Shown here is enough for 3-4 days roughly with the amount of worms in this bin.
Step 3: Cover the worm bedding. Not shown here is wetting down the newspaper and cloth. I typically do this and it will keep the moisture level higher in the bin. This particular bin has excess moisture. I dumped it from a bucket system. Because the bedding in the bucket was so deep the lower 2 inches was soaked while the top was too dry. Constant watering led to a build up of liquid at the bottom. The anaerobic bedding began to smell so I changed it to a container with larger surface area to dry out.
Step 4: Repeat in 3-7 days.
I will be getting my blog back up and running on my website once I get some free time. We are still rebuilding the landscaping website at this time. I have tons of blog titles/ideas and half written blogs to add.

Sifting through my 8 month old dubia roach bin

Hey guys, after I sold my stock off to a new owner, I kept one singular “order” of roaches if you will. I have not harvested, sifted, or split anything so far. Today I dove into it as it’s in need of a cleaning! The grass is building up tremendously and it’s going to begin to smell. #dubiaroaches #frassproduction #breeder

    Do you keep this worm bin outdoors?

    • @jerseyworms

      Not right now. Temps are down to about 25-35° last few weeks. When I have bigger systems it’s possible to do so. Your internal temp needs to be warm enough otherwise they’ll freeze. You can raise temps in an outdoor bin by thickening the bedding and adding compost material so it will heat up.

      Hi, Definitely. Leaves will begin to breakdown pretty quick. In the process the heat will definitely accrue. With leaf-mold based worm bins, you'll need ventilation in the top of the bins for sure. The amount of greenhouse gas that will build up in the beginning will become too much for the worms to handle and they'll look for an escape route!

      Could be temperature based. How warm are they. If it’s cool, they’ll have a slower metabolism. They’ve also just had their world flipped around and have no idea where they are. They’re in hiding. Let them get used to their surroundings. Make sure food is accessible as well. Can they reach it?

    I see a lot of people always saying you should dehydrate and grind up egg shells to aid digestion and in order to make their eggs stronger for a better rate of egg hatches, also coffee has been said to be great for worms as long as they are spent (used already), just some suggestions. If you think that's too expensive or something I suggest talking to customers and neighbors for their spent coffee grounds and egg shells, and asking coffee stands for their coffee waste that they probably have to pay to dispose of anyways. I'm not suggesting that you stop feeding them leaves I'm just suggesting you think about also putting other foods in them. Most leaves and woods can be fed to most species of isopods, but I'd do more research about what specific leaves and woods they can eat but I suggest you look into the isopods business/hobby. They look fun, but I have yet to own any myself so I'd recommend aquarium max I believe is the name of the channel but I'd love to see you get into this stuff more. So far really interesting.

  • @jakepellow4777
    @jakepellow4777 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don’t think they breed as fast in clear totes, but they end up looking more healthy, and get bigger (because they know when to take a break) and it’s nice to let them know if it’s day or night. Also if you don’t separate the babies from their mom then they end up growing a bit slower, but the babies taken care of grow up to be bigger, and look way healthier, the ones that I separated looked beat up compared to the ones I kept together, and again it’s nicer for them to be kept together.

    • @jerseyworms

      Absolutely, the best way to prevent this is either A) freeze the leaves for 48+ hours. Or B) put the leaves in a black garbage bag and let it sit in the sun for 24 hours. This will heat it up tremendously and kill the mites inside. The final way is to add Diatomaceous earth to leaves before you wet them.
