Composting with Worms to Turn Garbage Into Food | PARAGRAPHIC

- Between 30 to 40 percent of the United States’ food supply is wasted. Vermicomposting keeps that garbage out of the landfill and turns it back into food.
You probably end up throwing away a lot of food after some meals. It’s okay, most of us wish we were better about food waste but it often seems unavoidable. We live in a society of surplus where many of us have more than enough for over 3 meals a day. Food donations are great but what about those leftover scraps on your plate or the food items that spoil quickly?
Apple cores, banana peels, moldy bread, coffee grounds, tea bags, eggshells, old pasta, strawberry stems, leftover rice, bad broccoli, spoiled cauliflower… all that food waste ends up in the garbage and eventually the landfill where it rots and serves no purpose other than wasting more food. It’s an unfortunate side effect of all our abundance that so much just goes wasted.
But if we look to nature, we find a simple solution that helps solve our food waste problem AND helps us grow better food, faster. Vermicomposting is the natural process of using worms to aid in the composting process. This happens all the time in nature but you can set up a similar small-scale ecosystem right in your house with a worm bin.
If outdoor gardening isn't your thing, consider growing your own food indoors instead: • Grow Food Anywhere Wit...

So thankful for Zach and the Arizona Worm Farm teaching us about worm compost. If you don't have the space for a full outdoor garden and compost operation, consider growing indoors with a tower garden: th-cam.com/video/-CkeLSVXnsU/w-d-xo.html
These videos are a amazing. Great work Team Paragraphic
@PARAGRAPHIC Thank you so much for sharing these awesome videos & teaching us how to grow our own 😍💕🍄🌱🐛🐝
i want someone to love me the way this dude loves his worms
His worms put food on his table
Intending to love myself like this dude loves worms 😆☘️
Hahahhahahhahhaah
Best comment 😆
Such a great video! I've had a worm bin in my kitchen for almost a year now. They eat my coffee grounds, kitchen scraps, and junk mail and provide lovely fertilizer for my garden. Best. Pets. Ever.
That’s great to hear! Worms are an easy addition to almost any household.
In your kitchen?!?!?
Pets? More like employees.
@@rawx485 if you look at it that way, dogs are employees too. It's job is to provide you with emotional support 🤷
How do you separate the worm cast from the worms and composting materials?
Just watched every upload yall have, this is the type of content more people need to see!
Ideas that will bring change to the world in order to save our planet
Yes #JIC
Honestly, i didn’t even know they would consume paper! Bloody hell! You learn something new every day
I dont understand why you dont have 10 million subscribers
Hopefully one day haha
right?! I just found them yesterday and im obsesseddd
Maybe cause their first video is only 6 months old? But yes I do hope they grow, great content!
duuuude, u guys are so talented!! really impressed by the quality of the storytelling and the fotography, amazing job. i´m really happy i found ur channel before u go viral. real good stuff
More people need to wake up and tune in, this is a great channel! My son and I are loving this stuff!
He's the guy who would genuinely say yes if his lover ask him the question "would you love me still if I'm a worm?"
i love how informative this channel is, i hope this channel blows up, everyone needs to know about the importance and crisis within the food industry
Guys, please continue with this channel. The kind of content you make is usually boring or approached in a tedious way, but your videos are beautiful and well edited. It's only a matter of time before you grow to tons of subscribers, keep it up with the quality material, thanks from brazil!
I do have African night crawlers in my worm bin and their castings made our plants healthier! Love them as my pets at home.
Who is doing the camera work ???????? these cinematic shots are so pleasing to the eye!
Phenomenal content and production quality!
I just love seeing people being so passionate about something, you can really tell this man love his job
One of the greatest videos I have ever seen. Thank you. I will begin my compost journey next week.
Paragraphic is everything I'm looking for! Each video is so well produced. Really impressive stuff. Great topics too! Wow. I'm blow away.
Your care and love of the natural world comes through these videos guys. Thank you so much for making simplicity sexy.
I really dig this video series!
Lots of great info!
Just imagine if everybody had worm bins and grew their own seasonal fruit an veg, how much of a difference it could make, I know that not everyone has the climate but Poly tunnels are being used in some very cold places
I'm in love with your videos. It inspires me to start new things in my life. Thanks so much
I started a worm compost on my balcony this year. they are really helpful with the trash that stinks up the kitchen otherwise. You can order worm eggs online, they take a couple of weeks to hatch but it works great ;)
Great visuals, needed content, impeccable direction and fantastic flow to all 3 videos so far. Looking forward to more 💜
Thank you! We are a small independent team working to do our best.
@@PARAGRAPHIC I was going to post a similar comment as Erika did, instead I'm just gonna second it. Great and educational content with fantastic production. Thank you! :)
same as what Erika and William said, great work and thanks for making this available to us.
God bless this man, farmers are important now more than ever. Food is medicine. Everything is becoming more and more artificial as the years go on… if you are reading this rise up and be a leader in your community help those around you help your earth this home we all share, anyone can grow food no matter what position you are in. Learn through videos like this, keep researching keep struggling for the good fight.
This channel is next level please keep producing content!
Loving these videos, subscribed and waiting for the next!
I had a worm box going in the garage for 2 years. Started with a takeaway container worth of worms, grew to a big seafood styrofoam then split to 2 such containers. It really cut down your food waste to nothing to the point our family was having trouble generating enough green waste to feed the colony.
Unfortunately, for your average person, separating the worms so you can harvest the dropping without an expensive contraption like that pan shaker or a spin bin is hugely time consuming and the main reason why I stopped in the end. Highly recommend it as a mean to reduce your waste, not necessarily to create compost for the garden.
These videos are so well done! Please keep making them!
Thank you! That’s the plan 👍
Nice. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I have 5 worm composts areas in my garden... needless to say it is lush! It is so easy to do and a great way to reduce our CO2 footprint and how much we send to the landfill.
YES, loving the content!
Man this is some great filming quality and editing you deserve way more subscribers. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
I have ivory head roaches and worms and let me say the ivory head roaches are the Ferrari of composters. They compost it so much faster and are less picky and prolly harder to kill except cold. They do need it above 65 and to breed closer to 80 but in a greenhouse operation or any grow op there should be no shortage of this environment. I keep mine in a closet and they breed. In summer they go on the patio for more heat. The added advantage tho is chiten in their frass and the silica in the shells of the ones that die in the bin
I was looking up lighting videos, and have no Idea how this was in my suggested but I'm glad it was! Great video!
That’s great to hear! And thank you! Just our first video, lots more to come on this new channel. Hope you subscribe and stay tuned for what’s next. Definitely appreciate you enjoying and sharing our content.
amazing video!! i love vermicomposting! worms are such amazing creatures
Surprisingly, an uncle of mine did this years ago. I thought he was nuts until I saw it working. Cool stuff. BK
Nice color-grading on your vids! Cool content, as well.
Thank you for sharing this...I will definitely do this..I now have a different look at my garbage bin..it's time to be environmentally sustainable..
Love the vids guys!!..keep it comin..cheers from malaysia
This is so well done!!
Thanks! We have many more to come.
Awesome video! Good explanation and videography.
I do love raising worms in Johannesburg, South Africa. Beautiful video, I enjoyed it.
Sounds amazing but I got a question: how do you harvest the castings without harming the worms?
I have a hungry bin and love it!
Great video - thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very awesome. I want to try that.
worms are absolutely important for the soil of our earth and naturally keep the soil loose and thus supply it with oxygen. on its way through the soil everything goes in the front of the worm and comes out again rich in nutrients. all this far from compost, but also in the normal soil under our feet, in forests and just everywhere where there is soil. a huge problem for the work and life of worms is the cultivation of fields with heavy agricultural machinery! Due to their weight and the constant driving over the ground, the soil is extremely compacted so that in the end it is partly solid as stone. this prevents the worms from doing their important work and harms the soil.
This channel must be watched by every human being on earth.
Awesome vid guys
Glad you enjoyed it! Editing our next one now.
Now ya talkin'! Great fish bait! Red wiggles AND Alabama Jumpers!
Mike Rowe would be so proud of the work that you do. Seriously your videos are informative, wonderfully inspiring, and give dignity to artisanship and working with one's hands.
Great content
Fuck yes I love this. Haven't been subbed long but I've been watched your alls channel more than I have with any other, good work everyone.
Well done respect
I'm really curious about the chemicals in cardboard (and dyed/inked paper) though, especially if it's been recycled! I keep worms but they've just been eating kitchen scraps so far
I love this guy
Very educational video. 😎
Thank you!
Very enjoyable video, thanks.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Plenty more interesting topics still to come. As we grow this new channel, we really appreciate everyone subscribing and sharing the video.
I love your theme music. Wish I could download it.
I love your videos
the content is wicked you got a new subscriber
Awesome, thank you!
I have so many questions. So things like meat scraps (fat, bone after brewing bone broth), can things like that go in, or is that the kind of thing that smells? Also, while cardboard from Amazon might go in, but average boxes (from frozen foods, etc) that have some kind of coating, probably can't go in, huh? Can I put pistachio seeds in there? How do I get started?
Amazing Video....
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Making a worm bin at home is relatively simple and fun way to make awesome fertilizer for your garden.
This deserve so many views
Cool .. info
very cool
The guy's face behind at 7:35 says it all
Can't wait to come see you guys! #birthdaytrip #Iloveworms
It's an awesome setup
I have a question
Don't these worms have any love to the plants we are growing.
And how much these worms are safe for plants from getting diseases.
Awesome
Thank you!
Where can i buy those 3 difrent types of worms u mention
Is it true the more worms in a garden the healthier the garden?
Probably!
Yup! At least with regard to the quality of soil, it's true
This is what we should be learning in school
Whats a worm casting?
'Straight outta compost' = worm nerd
Surely the governments of the world should be doing this already?
Nature already has the answer!
Great video and great subject!
Are most of your vids taken in Arizona
Yeah, so far all of them have been
Where do you get the worms?
I love composting
Worm is love, worm is life
So basically worms can healthy destroy 80% of my garbage. So awesome.
i love using worm cast on my weed plants
Will worms eat poison oak?
Harry and Lloyd should've really followed their dreams.
I started a worm bed when I was 12 I offend wonder how its doing moved when I was 19 it was booming
💙💙👏👏
Looks like since Storage Wars Dave Hester has turned over a new leaf... then fed it to a worm.
If Tony Soprano ain’t lying about his job
Worms and mother nature are epic!, but I really don't want to be eating Amazon Boxes! I am sure many bad chem's in them go up the food chain to us.
Best worm bin is the hungry bin
I would love to mention too you ,and recommend traditional traits our too the night ;and allegiance to the ‘fæ”the success! enjoys being ‘adorn praise’.’oh yeah little worms ‘ - the remaining off that !!! Me draw introspective joy and much needed replenishment to the ‘ancestors past ¿”
MAYPOLE
Fuck yes, this has got the fire within to finally make a worm farm💯
Don’t forget the RolliePollieOllies
💚🌱👍
"News flash fishermen hate him"
2:34 "composting insect"?
worms don't need any water. sometimes I have them for 10 weeks. how you make worms? vegetation and little bit of water. wow
Holy shit, I'm normally a troll on here but I have to say something somewhat nice, how the fuck does this channel have less than 30k it's bordering old school vice and national geographic.. nice 4d chess move. Kudos producers and cameramen.
Why isn’t every community doing this … one it creates jobs an it saves the planet the government should be pushing this
Great video. A ton of conflicting information regarding grains but if it works for you then so be it.
Grains should be fine
I really like the content !!! Guys I like to see video about Kombucha
