Hello and welcome to my channel. Thank you all for your support. Please give me a thumbs up if you like this info, and subscribe if you'd like more videos like these. I'm dedicating this one to TH-camr Marrie Currie who'd asked about for a video like this.
Thank you very much for this video. It's answered all my questions and more. I've saved this video in my library for future reference. Have a wonderful day!
Place several, cut in half avocados onto the surface of the castings. After a day you will notice worms gathering under the avocado halves.everyday after you will be able to scoop up with your hand a big handful of worms. Do this once a day for as many days as you would like. I got 16 hand fulls of worm in four days. And it's still giving.
Great video. When you put a container on top of the compost with fresh organic materials (first method), do you also make holes on the side of the container ?
Yes I do but there are a few people who doesn't because they say it forces the worms to go into the container to eat rather than eating from the outside. This makes it easy for them to extract the worms.
You could use your last warm bins that you showed and put a screen at the bottom and then put your dirt and worms in there and then when you want to gather him to get away but as long as there’s a screen they can’t get out it won’t drowned them.....?
For the babies that I see, I hand pick them out. I like to harvest my castings 6 weeks before I'm ready to use it, that way I allow the eggs to hatch and I use a small container with holes and food scraps added to extract as much of them as possible.
@@WDWormsnGarden thats what im doing at the moment is waiting for the babies to get big enough to extract them the compost was full of cocoons and babies
Them dying depends on how hot it is. Yes, the dead worms are consumed by the other worms. Their life span is up to five years. Of course, that depends on the condition they're exposed to. They may even live up to 10 on rare occasions.
Sorry I don’t know for sure this works but I think when it rains theyProp down in the ground so that you don’t drown and they want to get away from the rain so I think if you do put a paper towel at the bottom and then what are your bin just make sure they don’t get trapped in the water at the bottom if I’m correct You won’t have any worms At the top
I've never used that method and a few of the challenges with it, is that you may not get rain when you want it and you don't want your castings to be soggy. Not to mention that castings is water soluble and unless you are collecting that rain water that's running through your worm bin, you are washing away a little of the nutrients.

I’m going to use the light system to separate my worms because I haven’t got the time. Thank you for this info. I will let you know how I get on.
Sounds good.
Thank you for these fantastic demonstrations!
My 15 month worm tub is way overdue for a harvesting! Blessing~

Thank you Mom........❤
You are welcome.
Great info thanks for the share. Love your accent puff puff pass man
Great info!
Couldn't you use a strainer? Like put some compost in it and shake it up until the compost goes thru the holes while the worms stay in the strainer?
Sure.
Great video.

Oh that’s kind of what you did except for I feel likePaper towels or maybe even dead leaves would be the best at the bottom

how to separate the baby worms and the eggs? or do i just have to accept some have to die?
For the babies that I see, I hand pick them out. I like to harvest my castings 6 weeks before I'm ready to use it, that way I allow the eggs to hatch and I use a small container with holes and food scraps added to extract as much of them as possible.

@@blackriflex39 awesome.

if our compost is exposed to sun, the worms would die, 1> is it safe to have the died worms in the compost to use ? 2> what is the life of a worm ?
Them dying depends on how hot it is. Yes, the dead worms are consumed by the other worms. Their life span is up to five years. Of course, that depends on the condition they're exposed to. They may even live up to 10 on rare occasions.
