Punkin spice jello what the heck ?!? There going to go nuts for that !! You made this for me, I know it !!! Let's frickin go Patrick!! You should really consider doing mini updates everyday, not "shorts" but it would awesome to see it almost daily!! Thank goodness the don't like living plant matter !! Awesome time-lapse!! Cheers J&C 🌱🪱🌱😁😁😁
When you're married to a lady named Autumn you end up buying any think that's pumpkin spice flavored!!!! She absolutely loves that time of year!!! I would love to set up a see through time lapse to show how some of these feedings decay & get eaten, but I haven't figured it out yet. Can you imagine if worms ate living plant matter...everything on the earth would be extinct!!! Thanks for stopping by J&C...I've got a lot of catching up to do!!🪱🪱🪱
@@Vermicompost Autumn is a great time of year forsure!! Maybe a quick picture everytime you ho in and add ice an bottles to cool it down ? Like you did when the AC broke, but more specific to how much of the "feeding mass" is eaten each, or every couple days. Would be fascinating!!
My sister has an aloe that has a few limbs that look like they could be pruned off. When I was there the other evening I came close to clipping them off & bringing them home for the wormies... From the look of it, the wormies would've probably appreciated the juicy treat :) Can hardly wait to see what becomes of the vermi time capsule. The temperature check-ins that you plan to do is a great idea 👍🏻
Next time you are at her house definitely bring some home!! I'd love to see how it turns out in one of your bins as well!! Vermi Time Capsule...I love that name for it!! It could very well act like a slow release food for them, with the benefit of decaying while it waits for them to penetrate the cardboard barrier! So far first temperature check 24 hours later was 82℉ but I still added ice to keep it from running away and getting behind the power curve. Thanks so much for stopping by to watch AV!!🪱🪱🪱
Well... my sister is in Saint Lucia right now & lucky you-know-who gets to go fetch her from the airport next week. If I don't forget, I'll offer to prune her aloe plant when I'm dropping her off at home 👍🏻
😀 I thought you might like this one Sandy!! This should produce a lot of worm balls and maybe a time release feeding with that container I filled with food scraps!! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch!!🪱🪱🪱
Those mango seeds/husks are the strangest fruit seeds!! Eventually the worms figure out how to get inside and take advantage of what's inside!! Thanks so much for watching & thanks for clearing up the mango seed vs husk!!🪱🪱🪱
Thank you!! Yes it is a scary big feeding that I'll have to monitor for heat for sure!! My freezer was just getting too piled up with food scraps😀 I'm pretty excited about the container! I've never made them work this hard for food and maybe it will pre decompose for them and make it all the more easier for them to eat...almost a time release feeding!! Thanks so much for stopping over to watch!!🪱🪱🪱
Thank you so much!! This is a big feeding and should help them to produce a lot more babies in the long run!! Thanks so much for watching and supporting me!!🪱🪱🪱
This is a fun bin because it can consume so much weird food that I put in here & I can find out what worms eat fast and what they eat slowly or not at all!! I was surprised there were still parts of the aloe left, but none of the food scraps from that last feeding!! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch!!🪱🪱🪱
Hello my wormie friend!!! 🪱🪱🪱 check out that aloe Vera!! It looks very yellow 🤣🤣 amazing that the worms have just stripped it ….. Party time for the worms, jello pudding!!!! ICECREAM cones!!! Wow! 🙌🏼🎉🎊🍦🍭 That was an amazing explanation of the frozen food my friend 🙌🏼 I am intrigued by this container of food! I’m interested to see how quickly they power through the walls!! 🤣💪🙌🏼 Loved this video, and loved the time lapse!! Happy hump day from Oz guys!! 🌻🐝💐💝🪱
Hellllooooo Anita!! I was very impressed with how well they stripped the aloe down to the papery leafy part! What expired in my pantry was an interesting mix of healthy flours and grains along with some sugary sweets...the worms are in for some crazy treats the next few weeks!! That little food container is going to be really interesting I think! I may have to go in a bit earlier to see if they get into it sooner than expected!! Thanks so much for the wonderful comments from Oz!!!🇦🇺🦘🌏🪱🪱🪱
Yes, that dump out was a bit of an impulsive move!! 1 day later the temp was in the low 80's. This morning (36 hours from the start) it was in the mid 90's so I added ice and a frozen water bottle, 6 hours later it was in the mid 70's...so I'm gonna be keeping an eye on this feeding!! 😂That little time capsule was made of some dense cardboard, so hopefully between the melon placed on it, the watering I gave it after filming and the ice drips, we might see some action!! Thanks for stopping over to watch Ann!!🪱🪱🪱
I think we all love your pantry. It gives up so many different types of food. I'm guessing that the worms will pretty much devour the food outside the tube in a week or so, then finally get to the inside of the tube. Great video guys.
Thanks!! I got so used to moving every 2-3 years, which forced a pantry clean out! Now it's like going back in time to see what recipes we thought we were gonna try🤣😂 I think that tube is gonna be fun to watch, maybe like a slow release food capsule for them!! Thanks for all your support!!🪱🪱🪱
Thank you!! I loved when my family made Jello pudding!!! We always seemed to have a package stuck in the back of the pantry...times haven't changed much for my kids🤣😂🤣 Thanks so much for stopping by to watch!!
Hello Manda Moo!! Yes tea grounds work well too! A lot of the tea bags are synthetic so I just split them open like you said and pour them in. Thanks so much for stopping by to watch!! I really appreciate it!!🪱🪱🪱
I’m 30 days into my new vermahut first time doing this and I was reading up on bedding and when I stared my worms came early before the hut got here so went and got some peat moss sphagnum is what I got didn’t know this is bad for them so going to clean up and start over to be safe don’t see any dead ones just fyi peeps
A lot of sellers pack them up in peat moss to help dry them out and make them easier/safer to ship but I think it can tend to be a little acidic so folks that use store bought bedding tend to go with coco coir. My VermiHut came with a brick of coco coir which I used for my first tray. I prefer to use free bedding, so I end up using shredded boxes & newspaper. I don't have a lot of trees that lose their leaves around me or I would use that as well again, finely shredded. Thanks for passing on your experience with peat moss & thanks so much for watching!!🪱🪱🪱
Great question!! Very occasionally I do, but paper, in general, tends to get matted down & clumpy in my bins so I like to use shredded cardboard which has more structure, mixed with some newspaper which seems to get broken down faster. I do however use junk mail on my regular compost pile! Thanks so much for watching & thanks for asking a great question!!🪱🪱🪱
@@Vermicompost thank you. I figured that was the reason however I was not sure. Mine does get very clumpy but I keep reusing. It just takes a long time. Great videos thank you
Worms will eat meat!! But.....It can be very smelly, heat up the bin and attract rodents and raccoons among other creatures. I personally do not feed meat to my bins because of the rancid smell but here is a playlist of @connecticutworms&garden who feeds her bin a big pork chop and shows you what happens in her bin: th-cam.com/play/PLAsSghiX65nrazmGNYamaebfOgVGSOoSS.html Great question I hope this helps!! Thanks so much for stopping by to watch!!🪱🪱🪱
🤣😂🤣That would be scary!! Almost as scary as that alligator in your video!! They are a bunch of food scrap eating machines!! Thanks for stopping by to watch Joe!!🪱🪱🪱
You are absolutely right!! After I stopped the camera I put 4 big handfuls of shredded cardboard on top!! The next video will probably show some remnants of the bedding I put on top if the worms don't get to it first!! Thanks so much for watching and for catching something I should have addressed!!🪱🪱🪱
My wife was NOT cool with them at first🤣😂🤣 It took forever to convince her to let us get an indoor worm tower!! I think she thought they would crawl up and get her at night🤣 But now she loves them! Here is a video where she tries to get in on the action as I count my red wigglers in my tiny worm bin: th-cam.com/video/lxFjjGWRn8M/w-d-xo.html Thanks so much for stopping by to watch!! I how your wife comes to love your worms too!!🪱🪱🪱
Another massive feeding Patrick. I have a feeling there will not be too much if any of the cones for the next check in. I think the moisture will help to break the cones down pretty quickly. But we shall see. 😁🪱
I think you’re right Rick!! Those cones don’t stand a chance!! I thought they wouldn’t stand a chance with my three boys, but I think they got pushed to the back of the pantry😂 Thanks so much for watching!!🪱🪱🪱
