When my granddaughter was in fourth grade she and I raised worms in our garage for her science fair project. She had so much fun doing it and was very diligent making sure her worms were cared for every day! I could not believe how fast they went through the scraps!! That was 15 years ago and she is now grown and lives on her own.. She still talks about this project all the time! By the way, she took the grand prize in her science fair for her worm project!
Make sure to always wash out your cocopeat thoroughly, especially when you use these bricks. They often contain a lot of salts you don't want to feed to your plants or worms
Thank you very much for making this video n also posting it here.Will watch again n again to understand more n better.God Bless you in The gorm of healthy n more abundunt variety of plants 🙌 🙌
Your earthworm farming kit is so professional. I am also making this model for my garden. I hope that after using vermicompost, the soil quality in my garden will improve and the plants will be more lush.
Woowww.. amazing... In my country, that water called "AIR LINDI", sir.. From composting.. And LINDI WATER so really good for my plants. Thankyou for the video, sir 👍
For me, I have my compost bins raided by raccoons, possums, and birds after the raccoons have unlocked intricate closures and helped themselves to treats and earthworm delicacies. The are so intelligent and have little hands more dexterous than my own.
Have you tried something with carabiners? Since they don't have opposable thumbs in theory it's hard for them to open it. Also raccoons hate onion so you could rub some on it so it smells like onion
@@raquelf2866 I haven't heard of that. Thanks, I'll check it out. I don't think onions would work because I always have a lot of onion scraps. I also tried mint, but that didn't work either.
@@zebeart8808 I remember it from a podcast called ologies. There was an episode with a raccoon expert. I don't remember more details because there aren't raccoons where I'm from
Really great!😀😀 Honestly you are the best gardener I've ever seen!!! You are always answering my questions and I am grateful. You inspired me to regrow my whole garden.you have earned a very happy sub.
Wow, a miracle! My experience with composting is it takes minimum of a few months even with lots of worms. And thats if all conditions are perfect and have an abundant amount of worms and micro organisms.
I totally agree.i am tired of having to cut the lawns.and now at my age if almost becoming 76 in 2 mths.i no longer can do all have done in the past.i have seen how to incorporate perennials and native plants mixed in with veggie & herb gardening,and that is what I intend to do.cover everywhere front and back so it all looks like a true garden.at least I hope it will look that way.
that is supposed to be a swappable layer bed. top layer would be the new bed with the fresh compost so the worms would travel to the top layer after finishing the first buttom layer. that way harvest would be easier and lest mortality for the worms
In this video, the top bin wasn't in use. It should be swappable with the middle bin. When the ANC is working in the middle bin, you have to stack the top bin with kitchen wastes. As time goes by the kitchen wastes on the top bin would decompost. Meanwhile, after eating and converting the wastes in the middle bin, the ANC will look for food to eat and they will move to the top bin. This time, you can easily harvest the vermicasts in the middle bin and, thereafter put the bin to the top ready for stacking again for a new batch of kitchen wastes. The process is repeated in this way.
Well managed (not overwatered) worm bins will NOT have that much tea. It is ideal for there to be very little to no tea, as all that moisture is bad for worms, and your vermicompost was very wet. It should be like potting soil, somewhat structural but loose. But, great video, well made
It's not compost tea. It's decomposed food juice that leaks out the bottom (leachate). DO NOT PUT IT ON PLANTS THAT YOU EAT. Compost tea is made by soaking worm castings in water.
@@aamirwaheed3478 You will not notice chemical compounds from the paint in plants, you must perform a laboratory test. The longer you use such a newspaper, the more harmful compounds there will be in the compost, which will penetrate into vegetables and plants.
@@aamirwaheed3478 We are talking about printing inks for industry. They contain at least lead, which is very harmful. Additionally, artificial dyes, solvents and other heavy metals. I know because once our company cooperated with printing houses.
Great video. But I don't like worms. I do the same thing but without the worms. I get the same results. I just use an old bin, layer it with everything you mentioned and keep layering until I'm ready to plant. I poke holes around the bins
The worm “blanket on top isn’t”necessary either s I’d use that on the bottom layer so the worms don’t fall Thru into the water and then just use newspaper on top (plus they can eat it and need the carbon)
Thank you so much for your video, all your videos are so inspiring. Im starting my worm home tomorow, how much worms is needed to start to get results like yours? Thank you🙏🏽
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From AYODHYA, UP-INDIA I use to made it by lot egg shells, vegetable wastes, all fruits wastes, paper scraps, a lot of raw and ripen banana peels, grass, dung, turmeric and cinnamon powder, some little part of citrus plant leaves and wastes excluding it's peels to maintain pH level and some little size fishes, neem cake, mustard cake and readymade micronutrients available by various names(I use MULTIPLEX) in the market and others etc. Result becomes extremely excellent.

@urbangardeningofficial Thanks for the swift response. Your gardening videos are so rich in content. I'm becoming a better gardener, thanks to you. Have already subscribed.
I've wanted to do this for a few years but I find these kits too expensive to buy. But for now I've just been buying and adding extra worms to my compost bin to help it to break down quicker.
Nice... The liquid is called leachate, which I think is acidic... Compost tea is different I think... for how long can it be stored ? If it's too much for our garden, how to safely discard it ?... I was wondering why they have given an entire compartment to place at the top, instead of a lid... Is the top compartment supposed to be empty??
Yeah it is normally termed as vermiwash can be used as pesticide n fertilizer...once tray is full u can use second tray for composting ...worms will migrate by thr own through the drainage holes
@@urbangardeningofficial Ok... Thank You ! For how long can the vermiwash be stored ? Coz it's a lot in quantity... If we want to discard, is it ok to let it go in the drain ?
@@advocaterishitamall I would avoid using leachate at all if you can make proper compost tea. Leachate contains bacteria that are not safe for consumption (that have not been through the worm digestion) and goes off fairly fast (foul smell). From my understanding leachate can be used very diluted on trees and some plants, but never on leaf crops that you directly eat. I'm not sure as his setup is different from most worm bins I've seen but a worm bin shouldn't do too much leachate in general as the worm bedding should be moist but not "too wet" so it drips.
Meghan, there are several commercial stacking worm farms out there that are compact like this. Some people make their own using totes with holes drilled in the bottom except for the bottom tote. I prefer just totes alone with no holes anywhere and no lids. I have two worm bins in my kitchen and two in my family room that run with no smells and lots of happy worms! ~ Sandra
mine i just put it on a basin with holes and has another basin to catch water for watering the other plants. I tried to buy the worms but they all died because ants ate them.
Thank you for the great video. Just wondering what is the purpose of its top part of the compost? I see you are only using second top composting tray,,,
As first tray is full we can use second tray ...fill second tray with scraps n bedding n worms will migrate from bottom to top or top to bottom through drainage holes 👍 these bins are available in 2 tray unit , 3 tray unit and 4 tray unit ...we can buy according to your use 🙏 thanks
@@urbangardeningofficial thank you for your detailed explanation! can it be purchased internationally? just worry because it has live warms included, right?
Wow! I will definitely try that... best compost Please 1 question Can I use the worms that are normally found inside homes they look the same as urs I find 1 daily in the sink or in the bath
Hi… I watch your videos regularly. Thanks for the videos. I have a doubt in this… you used old newspapers which contain dye harmful chemicals. Won’t that effect plants? Can we use any alternative? Thank you once again for your videos.
Hey! How are you? At 40 seconds into the video, an apparently new wind lily appears, but with beautiful flowers. What is your suggestion for me to do and have the same result as you? I don't speak English but I'm using the google translator to communicate with you.
why Potassium is important in plants: - Potassium regulates the opening and closing of stomata thus regulating the uptake of CO2 thus enhancing photosynthesis. - It triggers activation of important biochemical enzymes for the generation of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP provides energy for other chemical and physiological processes such as excretion of waste materials in plants. - It plays a role in osmoregulation of water and other salts in plant tissues and cells. - Potassium also facilitates protein and starch synthesis in plants. - It activates enzymes responsible for specific functions.
Omg I'm so glad your video was recommended! Ordering this will be so much easier than building one. And I love how it's set up to create compost tea. Saving this video. Thank you! 🌿💚 Edit: is there a way to change the currency on the website to USD?
This is complicated. I have made compost with just a little potting soil, fruits and vegetables. Depending on the quantity; can take from 12-30 days with a sprinkling of water every 3 days
I wouldn’t say it’s complicated, a few extra steps sure. But your missing the fact that he’s also getting all that free worm castings mixed with the compost. That’s just free nitrogen, and from an excellent source.
Yea this set up is far beyond your simple compost bin for sure but it also has multiple features your not getting from a normal compost bin! This thing is pretty fancy and you definitely get the added features of being able to harvest different types of compost from this one set up.
Hi there! I have an important question. At the start of the season we bought bulk compost and stored it in lidded trash cans. Then forgot about it. Well now we want to use it in a new rose garden bed and it smells vile because there was no air holes 🙈 is this now not safe to use? Will it damage my new roses?
Can you give me an aswer please? What about the latest food waste between 10 -15 days during wating for the composing? Do we need to have 2 sets of this composer?
hello sir, thank you for sharing the video. Its been 1 week since i started the process. The compost tea is white in color. Is there something wrong or should i wait for some time? or should i add something.
Once first bin is full ..you can fill second bin with scraps n bedding ...worms will migrate from bottom to up or up to bottom through the drainage holes 👍
Hi there, this is an excellent all-in-one vermicompost station. The ones here do not allow harvesting the liquid that percolates to the bottom. Do you ship to USA?

There's no harmful dyes in newsprint. You generally want to avoid color images but the big culprit is the glossy finish/magazine style prints.
Good job but at the end, you should put your middle compost on the top and then feel the new middle with food and the worms will fall down

why Potassium is important in plants:
- Potassium regulates the opening and closing of stomata thus regulating the uptake of CO2 thus enhancing photosynthesis.
- It triggers activation of important biochemical enzymes for the generation of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP provides energy for other chemical and physiological processes such as excretion of waste materials in plants.
- It plays a role in osmoregulation of water and other salts in plant tissues and cells.
- Potassium also facilitates protein and starch synthesis in plants.

just a thought: I would not use newspaper, especially the one with color ink, as it may contain harmful chemicals. instead just use plain cardbord
