Thanks for sharing!! You have been such an inspiration to me and am starting my 5th bin today! Right now I have about 1200 worms and I started with about 250.
I am fascinated by the amount of fertilizer you can get from worms. Your channel is new to me and I think it's a solution I've been looking for. Thank you for teaching us how to do this. I'm excited to give it a try!
What an adorable garden helper. I am going with the vertical migration. I ordered different bins to work with. Shorter ones like yours. This is going to make it so much easier to work with than the tall ones. Thank you for all the tips!
Hi Natalie! Nice to see you back on TH-cam. I love your approach to worm composting. I have one stacking worm bed that I have just been putting my kitchen scraps and shredded cardboard in as browns. I haven’t thought about putting garden waste in the worm bins, I mostly put that in my larger compost pile. Thanks for the inspiration!
Great video. Is this the same place Jill and Jessica came to visit you? Are those the same garden beds? You cut the legs off? Lol sorry for all the questions. My worm bin is being delayed another day. Unable to find 1/4” drill bit 🤦🏻♀️. Hopefully tomorrow as long as my back is up to it as well. Great to see you back on TH-cam. Have a blessed day 🙏🏻🙏🏻💕👩🏻🌾
Hey! Yes I need to address these questions... yes yes and yes. This is the same house, beds got legs chopped off for baby safety. Thanks for the welcome back!
It’s great to see you! Darn, I just got rid of tons of leaves. I added some in my compost pile but got rid of the rest. Did your beds use to be on legs? If so is there a particular reason why they are not? Only asking because I can’t make a decision to have legs or no legs.
Are you familiar with how tomatoes grow? They actually creep along the ground in nature meaning their stems will shoot out roots. So if you plant it deep, the step will produce roots for a heartier plant.
@@heyitsagoodlife The plant can also rot from having it's stem wet from wet soil. If the stem lies on top of the ground and shoot roots, it will not be surrounded by wet soil. There might be exceptions to this rule, but I don't think so. It also applies if you plant trees and bushes.
@@milcotto4153 Tomato plants will root from their stems in a glass of straight water... just like many other plants... yes... some plants may rot and die... but rarely tomatoes. Been gardening for over 60 years now and have killed very few tomatoes. Bury my tomatoes very deep too... makes a stronger plant. Blessings on your day Kiddo 😊
@@milcotto4153 I think you’ll find most serious gardeners deliberately bury their tomatoes as deep as they can for the extra roots. I literally bury mine to their necks in early March and they grow till December round our first frost.

I love binging your videos! I’m to know how you keep your outdoor worms cool in the summer. I’m in Georgia and looking to start soon
Aw thank you!! I’ll cover that soon!

Thanknyou!!
Enjoyed watching the video. The little one seems like they’re going to be an urban gardener too.
Thank you. Oh yes!
Thank you so much for all the information you’ve shared on worm farming. I’m definitely going to give this a try! And, welcome back to you and Ruby 🥰
Yayy. Keep me posted on your farm. And thank you for the kind words!
So many great ideas Natalie!
That is such a cool idea and so inspiring! Loved all the music choices too :)
Aw thank you!!!
Hey! I just saw you on Jess's Homestead Festival video. I look foward to learning more about worm compost.
Welcome. So glad you’re here!!
I'm also in SD. I may have to copy your sifter idea. I have a lot to learn.
I adore your garden setup. I live about an hour north of you and am also working with a small space. Where did you purchase the sifter?
I made it!!

This is such a great idea to separate the soil from the mulch!!
Thank you!!
What did you use for the grit that you placed in the worm bins?
fine perlite, I also like sand, soil, or coffee grounds and eggshell
It’s great to see you!

Hey! Recently chopped off the legs to make them baby safe for Ruby!
Very very nice 👌
How many worms do you estimate are in each bin? glad to see a new stuff from you!
Hey! I’m back. I do 50. But you can go up to 1000 per square foot
what are browns and grit?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The soil is not supposed to go up on the stem like that. Only cover the roots like it was in the pot.
