@@traviscrosland8078 Thanks for the question! Usually the white cardboard doesn’t have the protective, shiny coating so I did use it when I was just starting and needed cardboard. Now I have enough general cardboard with minimal dye that I will generally use that, however, if that’s all I had I wouldn’t hesitate using it. My worms plowed through it just like anything else. Appreciate the support and hopefully that answers your question 👍🏼🪱
@@vb2377 Hey there! No you can’t have too much bedding but you can have too much food/water. Depending on the species of worms depends on how deep they will go to eat their bedding. Pure Red Wigglers will stay at the top 2-3 inches so placing them in a bin 18 inches deep is not necessary. Start shallow and add food/bedding as you go and harvest the castings when you build up 👍🏼
@ let say you have a 18 inch bin with 4 inch of bedding. After awhile with new bedding it gets to 6-7 inches. Can you just push the bedding to one side and collect the bottom 2 inches or so because that contains no worm theoretically??
my favorite cardboard to shred is the dividers from liquor boxes.
I've had an Amazon basics 24 sheet shredder for 3 years now eating up cardboard like it's ... Paper. And man, the worms LOVE the shredded cardboard.
@@thebigshmoog Awesome 🙌🏼 My Euros LOVE cardboard! They’ll eat over the produce I put in their bin!
Try cutting lightly around the labels. You should be able to peel it off while only removing the layer it's stuck to.
@@ericburge9198 Thank you! I’ll definitely try that!
@@utahwormcompany a bit off topic but after the cocoons hatch how long do you leave them in your nursery? Do they become breeders or bed run?
Nice work great video 🇦🇺🪱
@@dnawormcastings Thank you!
I use color boxes all the time they seem to get it done eventually. It does take more time to break done.
@@LaDonnePhillipsGardening Thank you! I was waiting for someone that has used them to give some input. Thanks for watching!
I like the long strip shredders, but the last ones I got were cross-cut.
Enjoying the videos
I’ll be ordering worms soon, still getting my space organized.
Great video, I will be using your advice for my worms.
@@denisewilliams8609 Thank you! Definitely not a professional hahaha hopefully it helps someone 👍🏼
Fun video. Sometimes I tell my family let’s have a card board shredding paper. They think I’m a little nuts.
@@davebanner8666 We have them often hahaha! Thanks for watching 👍🏼🪱
party, you mean
How long does it take for you to fill a bulk sack with worm casting?
@@helenamcdowell6841 With adding an inch of compost a week, about 7 months.
Thank you so much
@@Debbie-Keller Thank YOU for watching!

Can you have too much bedding in a bin??
