The worms are escaping from the bottom vent / drip holes. If the conditions are good, they should not want to leave.

Hi Lilia, new worm farmer here. I really love the Indian blues but they have escaped the bin by going in between the lid and bin (black and yellow bin from Lowe’s). It is only before a storm. Otherwise, they stay put. How do you manage to keep them from escaping? I see that the bin you’re using using air-tight. Thank you 🙏

This is why i dont want a hungry bin too wet. But your doing a great job on top. I use a 3 to 4 tower worm farm,they get wet too at the bottom. I use mainly wood chips on the bottom tier.

One thing I don't like about the hungry bin is the worms went everywhere. Plastic on top works well. There is 2 channels I thing are the best and that's this channel and worm ohana.

you did it wrong. You compacted the waste plus your plastic cover is suffocating your worms. This is aerobic composting, not anaerobic.

What meaning ANC

Something tells me you'll have that egg carton broke up in no time just from messing with it so much.

I still can't believe worms can live for like ten freaking years 😮

Quick question. I have variants in color. My blue worm have a super dark head, lighter clitellum and pinkish body. Only very few are that dark red (blue) color. Your video is the best a because other people were showing worms with bad lighting.. I couldn’t tells your blue looked like mine… do you have any that look albino???? I do? Any idea if they aren’t blues? Clitellum is at the correct segment. They move like the PE and have the vein, pointy tail, the whole 9.

Read rhe goddamned directions

Just watched ur entire uwb series, sorry to see u stopped updates. Hope all is well and the bag started working for u in later years. Just got mine and trying to learn from others.

Bless your heart 🥹❤

Thank you, Lilichka!

If you chop the feed finely, the worms will process it faster;

Lol your funny asf, spending more money on a worm housing isn’t gonna help you get better compost, you need to know how much food is too much to put in any food scraps when broken down can be up to %80 water, nitrogen rich materials will heat up bin so don’t add too much if it’s summer or hot out and add ice if container gets too hot, blend food scraps to get worms to eat faster, unlike some people in the comments are saying worms do not need to eat what we consider food scraps in order to survive they eat all organic matter but keeping a high variety of different things for the worms to eat will result in a better casting, use malted barley as a food source to add beneficial fungal growth in castings. There’s many other things that can help just research

This is a God send. I'm starting my farm today. I'm in a very hot location. Thank you

Would more regular leaf help with humidity

Sorry, I pressed thumbs down by mistake.

Possibly some cocoons haven't hatched yet. Also are the cocoons ENC?, because on bin label it seems to say "ANC". Thanks for a very interesting video. I will subscribe now.

It looks too dry.

So glad I read the comments about the hungry bin being misused. I saw this video a few days ago and wrote off the hungry bin. So happy to find that it was user error.

It looks like the soil is real dry. It also, could be the Ph. Other than that I wouldn't know.

I like to run my bins on the wetter side too. I'm doing a Bedding experiment to see if the Natural Bedding I use will perform better than Cardboard th-cam.com/video/MwPyC85dxK8/w-d-xo.html

Wow !! We can only wish for those results one day. We got 14.5ozs in 70 days this last haaarvest. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

That was very cool!! Thank you... How long did this experiment run for? Do you think that the temps played a role in the blues numbers? The reason I ask is I started with a mixed bin and once I moved it to the basement, I've noticed the blues struggling... I started collecting them and moving them upstairs and onto a heat mat, and the population exploded... The euros however seem to do better in the cooler basement

I don't understand why people feed the worms so much shredded paper, when they could give them free leaf mulch, that is much better for them and produces better quality castings.

What are you spraying it with so white?

I noticed you are put food on top a shredded paper. More paper,coir,straw on top of food acts like a mulch and let's air in. Just constructive observation.

Too dry, a little moisture on the leaves would produce a quicker result

Have you considered using dry leaf mulch instead of paper and cardboard. The worm castings come out much richer and darker.

They usually climb up the side of the bin, so they can breed.

I see you posted this video three years ago so maybe by now you have figured the Hungry Bin out. For the benefit of your viewers- you were not running this bin according to the directions. That matters because if you do not use it the way it was designed to be used you will not get the desired results. I have one and think it is the best worm bin I have owned in almost 30 years of vermicomposting. I wish I could afford to buy ten of them!

Really enjoyed your video and your calming voice. Thank you.

Sad not a single worm seen in the video 😅

Nice worms. I tried counting and gave up. Thanks for sharing.

Isn it too dry?!

Thank you!

I have this bin and find that the worm compost becomes compacted like yours at the bottom and the moisture content gets quite high. I have drilled several holes in the flat water plate at the bottom and this has allowed the extra moisture to go down into the tray. Other than those two complaints one of which was fixed, I am reasonably happy with it. I would buy second hand though to expensive for what it is suppose to do

What did you sprinkle on top of it?

What do you do with your castings to not 🚫 dump spider mites into your plants?

So u don't like it use a drill an aerate make holes bigger .as for food what u like don't mean they do . If it smells maybe u overwelm Ur worms with too much .

So glad you finally got how to use this amazing worm bin processor for worm tea an castings. i saw your video comparing a worm bag vs HB which was damaging to HB . ALL CREDIT TO THE INVENTOR WHO SENDS PER ORDER THE SAME SETUP FACTS . SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE WORMFARM INDUSTRY. YOU KNOW DOUBT APOLOGISED TO YOUR VEIWERS AN the ( New Zealand inventor) who has the (AUCKLAND CITY COUNCIL) USING THE HB IN COUNCIL BUILDINGS ) FOR THE VIDEO YOU MADE CLAIMING AFTER 44WKS NO CASTINGS AN LITTLE TO NONE WORM TEA.WISHING YOU GOOD CASTINGS AN TEA TO YA.

Wow - its been a while since I last watched one of these Lilia Kogan video. Today this video came up in the top of my TH-cam recommendations... so I couldn't resist watching. Hopefully all is well with you!

Do you sell them to fishermen.. due to the facts earth worms 🪱 are vanishing from the natural soil

worms claiming up is to wet.

$325 is a lot to experiment with. Not enough moisture for the worms in the bin. Most folks add food scraps as well. Good luck with your 2nd try

I really enjoyed your video. We are so much alike, I think I'm done and then want to show the rest of my farm! 😄😄🙂💐

How do I store worm castings if I’m not going to use them within the next 3 months

A good book is vermiculture technology Clive Edwards. This knowledge will help people understand better
