I started my first worm farm a few years ago in a garbage can i was going to throw out that had holes in the bottom. (Started composting the same way.) Only expense was buying some worms.
Just get a worm bin...4 x 8 or 4 x 4 with bottom and wood lid.. worms love composted horse manure.. composted vegerable leftovers.. carrot apple peelings.. in particular from a juicer. Water.. best use worms directly into garden and their castings...worms in bin double in numbers every 60 days during warm months...I had worm farm early 1970's...
Great video I just recently started using worm castings and I’m starting a small garden so I will take in this knowledge that you have so kindly provided us and start using my own warm casting. Thanks again for sharing.
@@Alisorganics Yea! Im learning how to compost currently. What temperature does chicken waste (any animal waste really) need to reach when composting/ how long for disease causing bacteria to be killed? Also is it a 50/50 mix of waste(high in nitrogen) to browns (high in carbon)
Thank you so glad you enjoyed the video, as far as a book goes may be some day when it's not so crazy. Here is a link to a worn bin on my web site: www.alisorganics.com/products/the-worm-factory-basic-bin?_pos=5&_sid=7ea124707&_ss=r Thank again
Just watched your video on growing tomatoes. Loved it. Also found out that you are in Zone 8 in Southern Utah. Have subscribed & look forward to your videos.
All the other worm youtubers say you can use leachate(the worm water that runs through the bin) because it's full of bad bacteria. You say you use it on your citrus trees and they thrive. I've always wondered why it would be bad because you are putting rotting veges in anyway so why would the water be bad?
I yielded more lettuce just by using worm leachate, and then added in casting when it was finally ready! The results have been impressive!! Our veg beds are way healthier with the castings :)
@@mariozepeda1889 only when they are super fine or powdered. I put egg shells in there that aren’t fine sometimes and they remain that way. I don’t mind, the castings with those larger pieces of eggshells get put in the garden and they will break down over time.
Cute ending; made me smile. Oh and thanks for the detailed info on using the castings ❤
Thank you as well! 🥰
This is just what I needed to learn. Im such a newbie, and this was clear and very informative!
Thank you so much!
I didn’t know this! Ya learn, ya grow! Thanks Ali!

Great video
I went Vermi a couple years ago.
I’m glad I did.
Right! Such good stuff!!
So addicting. 😀 Most importantly livestock on the planet according to Darwin
I have plenty of worms, they are in every part of the yard. Is this ok?
👏 👏👏👏✅
Helpful! trying to learn how to harvest castings correctly. I might have to buy a worm bin
Worm bins are rather fun to do and its so nice having your own castings!

LOVEDD this video!! Have you wrote a gardening book??🤔and where did you buy your worm beds??

@@Alisorganics Thank you for the info, thanks a lot😉
Great video . How is your worm casting dry my one looks like wet mud
Add shredded cardboard
what a great, easy to follow video without fluff. Thank you
That’s why I love worm poo! 💜
That is a true statement! :)
I know. That is why it made me giggle. 🪱❤️
I’ve had a worm bin for probably 15 years. My castings seem kind of sticky/pasty, and when dried, resemble papier-mâché. Is that what you get?
Yes, It is sticky until they dry out. Then they can be fluffed. They can be used wet though.
Just stumbled upon you after an inquiry about worm castings. Very interesting video!
May I ask where you are?
Just watched your video on growing tomatoes. Loved it.
Also found out that you are in Zone 8 in Southern Utah.
Have subscribed & look forward to your videos.
Southern Utah
@@Alisorganics Thanks. Hardiness Zone 6b or 7 (or something else)?
What’s the worm container called with the valve. Thank you
Worm Factory
Is the weight to volume ratio of worm castings to garden mix using fresh worm castings or those bought packaged from the hardware store?
That would be a dried worm casting weight bagged or your own that has been air dried. Wet is always more dense as well.
@@Alisorganics Thanks!

Hi can I use worm casting for flowers
Of course! It’s good for all plants indoor and out!
One of the best videos I've seen in gardening for the good information..thank you
Wow, thank you!

I agree! Well worth using!
are amazon worm castings good
I’m not sure, but I would think so, and certain brands will be better than others for sure.
They eat egg shells too?

Do you sell worms?
Yes we do! Red wigglers.

Probably not worth the money or time.👨🏻🌾
