I am going to guess African night crawlers. Nice bag.
Thank you for your guess, we shall wait and see 👀🙂
Nice to see that you are expanding your worm family. Urban worm bags are ace, good luck, look forward to your updates.
Thank you, I'm loving the bag already 🙂
Great! I would get yourself a 5 gallon bucket....put in shredded cardboard, paper, coffee, crushed eggshell and 3 handfulls of coco coir and a handful of garden soil and mix thoroughly. wet to the consistency of a wrung out sponge and let that sit for a few days. This in my experience makes for great bedding.
Thank you so much for the tip! I've been thinking of getting a container to hold the bedding so that I don't have to shred the paper and cardboard each time. I could just do it in one sitting and then it's just ready to go. I probably could find something in the garage that I could keep it in.
@@deewormsvermicomposting Yeah any container will work. I make bedding ahead of time so I always have bedding that is "curing". I use the fresh bedding each time I feed. I put a layer of fresh bedding down...then my frozen scraps and some grit and more fresh bedding on to of that.
You are amazing ! I appreciate you sharing your tips and tricks 🙂
🪱🪱🪱I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to watch these videos to see the progress. I was gonna guess ANCs then I saw I'm not alone! My guess...Composting worms 😁I won already!
Haha, composting worms, good one 👍🤣 you won!!
Great share. Thanks my friend. Have a nice day!
Thank you, much appreciated 😊
I also just received this urban worm bag and I love it!! I prepared it prior to receiving 1000 red wigglers. I also have a bin system and for me, I think the bag will work better. My husband built a roller system for me so when the bag gets too heavy, I can roll it as I see fit.
That's so awesome 👌 congrats on your new Urban Worm Bag 🤗 the roller system will definitely be handy !
For the UWB you need a sprayer, if you pour water like you did the water go just trough
I went to the store after I saw the water coming out, and bought a sprayer 😄
How exciting! The bag is so big, I am going to guess a combo of ENCs and red wigglers. I’m looking forward to see how the bag works when it’s time to harvest the castings.
Yes, I too, am looking forward to seeing how the harvests go. My hope is that it will be much easier 🤗 Also, I can't wait to build up the level in this bin and get it really up and running 🙂
Looks like the dominant guess by most, if not all, people who have commented is African Nighcrawlers. That is my guess too :) Congrats on the new system!
Yes, everyone seems to be in a mutual agreement 😊 thank you!
:)
Anc worms. Dee gd luck to u with yr bag
Thank you so much ❤
Amazing this idea for a worm bag! Hugs from Brazil =)
Thank you !!
Got two UWBs coming tomorrow and adding 6 1/2lbs of Canadian night crawlers each! Then bought two more worm factories and adding 5lbs each to those. I might have to adjust this and split some amongst my three other worm factories I've had for a while. All with amazing successes of trials and errors! Mites have always been annoying but I'm adding compost I started months ago to the UWBs with the night crawlers.
Thats awesome 👌 you've got some busy bins on hand. Thank you so much for sharing !!
Hi Dee, so nice to see your face on camera,,,and an Urban Worm Bag,,,wonderful! 😎
Hello Marty, I always feel awkward in front of the camera, but slowly adjusting to it 😊 thank you for stopping by 🙂
Hi Dee!! Well I just ordered my Urban Worm Bag moments ago!! As usual I am following in your footsteps just one month behind you! Soooo excited. Thank you for all your positive inspiration. Sincerely, Your "up north" (Wisconsin) worming friend.🙂
That is sooooo excited!! I'm so happy for you 🎉🙂 Wooohooo !!! Do you know what worms you will be placing inside it ?
@@deewormsvermicomposting to be perfectly honest w/you...I almost ordered 2 right away🤪. The reason being, I think I would like to consolidate all my bins into one system/container (being the bag system). One with my ENC's and one my Red Wiggler's. But, I only ordered 1 to start with. I also have a Worm Factory 360 going. The bins are clearly the "budget" way to go, but harvesting them takes time. They, the bins, were a great way to start to make sure I was really going to like doing this, and clearly I do. So, it was time to take the plunge. Anxious to get the bag system up and going! As always, thanks for your support and enthusiasm. ps. Hope you're feeling better?!
@@jaynebirkholz1596 I feel like in the future I might add another one to my collection too and add my red wigglers in there. But for now it's just a thought and I want my population of worms to grow a little more so I can start off with a decent amount. One day it might happen, but not right now 🙂 I'm feeling much better, thank you for asking 😊 Finally working on editing my last video that I filmed last week. Hoping to have it up tomorrow. And I was able to film a video today as well 🙂
@@deewormsvermicomposting I am so glad to hear you're getting back to yourself. It is hard to be sick w/little ones to take care of. A Mom's responsibilities never wait. Thank you for taking the time to "chat"!
@@jaynebirkholz1596 They certainly never do. I enjoyed our little chat. Till next time 🙂
ANC 😊 I have 2 UWB and I love it
☺ I'm sure I will love mine too!
This is going to be interesting
That's great to hear 😊
I guess ANCs! 😁
You'll have to watch the next video to find out 😉
@@deewormsvermicomposting 😀😀
Nice looking bag they are going to be happy. Thank you.
Thank you for stopping by 😊
ANCs!
We shall wait and see 👀🙂 Thank you for placing your guess 😊
The urban worm bag looks great. What is the stand made from? PVC pipe?
The stand has metal legs, the connecting corners are plastic.
@@deewormsvermicomposting nice so it should last 😁
Fingers crossed 🤞
You are going to get African Nightcrawlers. Nice bag you have there.😎
Thank you for your guess, we shall wait and see 👀🙂
I'm going to say ENC : )
Thank you for your guess! We shall wait and see 😊🙂
African Nightcrawlers?
We shall wait and see 👀🙂
Nice compost system with the bag. I am curious. How well do these types of systems work with compost? I have never used the bag and curious of the benefits.
Thank you, are you referring to just using the bin for purely just compost? I'm sure you can mix it in with other types of bedding with no problems. The reason why I wanted this bag is the ease of harvesting the castings from the bottom, while the worms stay in the system. Then I don't have to spend a lot of time separating the worms from the castings.
@@deewormsvermicomposting sorry. For worms.
@@WormsvsTHEWORLD For worms this is an excellent continuous flow through system 👌
@@deewormsvermicomposting good to know. Thanks.
Oh no the water dripped onto your nice carpet?? Ugh. I think you are getting either ENCs or ANCs.
Thank goodness the bag wasn't placed on the carpet. It's tiled where I'm keeping it. So an easy clean up. If it were on the carpet I would have gone mad 🤣
Agree on ANCs :) I started mine from cocoons and now need to move them to a bag - they are travelers!! But fun to have as well :)
That's awesome 👌 thanks for guessing !
No question!! African Nightcrawlers for sure!! So happy, and excited, for you! I think we must be living parallel (worm keeper) lives! I have been researching getting an Urban Worm Bag or a Vermi Bag. Just can't make the decision. Can't wait to watch your journey with this new system. BTW....I believe they sell a tray to put under a wash machine that might fit nicely under your UWB system otherwise they make shallow plastic trays for dog crates and rabbit cages that are also quite affordable. Just a suggestion....
For now I just placed an empty bin from the worm castings that I just put in the garden. I might need to look into getting something a tad bigger. Especially when the time comes to harvest.
I've been eyeing the Urban Worm bag for quite some and saw that it was on sale and found a coupon on top of the sale price, so I couldn't resist.
There are those trays that fit under a hot water tank. I like to put a Rubbermaid tote with aging bedding under my CFT Hungry Bin to catch excess moisture. I want that bacteria in the bin.
@@deewormsvermicomposting I keep a 10 gallon Rubbermaid tote with aged bedding beneath my Hungry Bin CFT to collect any excess moisture, that way if any worms escape the hatch, they are in bedding that is going back in the bin anyways.
@@marlenen6130 great idea!! I have an empty bin underneath it right now. But today I will have some time, so I will shred some cardboard and paper and mix it with some coconut coir. And it will be ready whenever needed.
ANC or blue worms.
Good guesses 👍 we shall wait and see 👀🙂
You did all that on your beautiful carpet?!? 😬
Haha, yes I did 😆 but where this bag stands is not on the carpet. It is tiled.
@@deewormsvermicomposting You must have an amazing husband! Good for you! Keep going and looking forward to more ANC content!
@@NorthernThaiGardenGuy Trying my best 🙂 thank you for the incouragement!!
ANC makes sense to me. I was going to say Make sure you have a drip pan. Oops 😬
It has that velcro catcher but the water dripped through that too. So now I have an empty bin, just incase something decides to start dripping again 🤦♀️
I agree on the drip pan
If you had any liquid from your other bins, or some really wet bedding from them, you could give your bin a great start on a bacterial potluck! That’s why I like precomposting my bedding now, for weeks if possible. The worms seem to jump into and are much faster at finding the bacteria and break the material down at record speed. If you have some biochar or humachar, add that too, as it gives tons on surface area for bacteria grow. Fun tip: take a teaspoon of blackstrap molasses and add to a squirt bottle. Whenever I see the worms getting sluggish, a few sprays of that into the bin seems to perk them right up!
As always very useful tips for you! I really appreciate you sharing! Thank you so much!
I'm planning on preparing my bedding in a container and just letting it sit. And whenever I need it, I can just grab a handful or two 🙂
I vote for ANC. No castings or compost to get the microbes started?
Thank you for guessing! We shall wait and see 👀🙂 I do not want to mix in a different worm species castings into this system and my compost is not quite ready yet! I'm sure the microbes will build up, maybe a bit slower, but I'm sure they will grow. Plus, my hope is that the bedding the worms arrive in will have some sort of microbiology.
New friends here just subbed, come on over for a visit. Love worms how exciting! Not sure maybe meal worms? This should be fun! Blessings
Well welcome !!! Thank you for guessing and you can watch my recent video to find out 😊
I think it’ll be the African nightcrawlers😄 i’m thinking about getting one of these I don’t know yet
Looks like everyone will be disappointed if its not ANC 🤣 That's all that everyone is guessing!!!
Do yourself a favor and get it. It's very simple to make your own frame. It's the easiest system for the money.
African night crawlers?
We shall wait and see 👀🙂
Sweeeeet Nice Bag! I’m Jealous! I thought about one of these for a Grandkid project with Millipedes... Speaking of...
Nice to see a face with your videos 🤗
I really wanted one for quite sometime now so I'm really happy 🙂 I feel a little awkward in front of the camera, but it's just something to get use to.
