![CAMPปลิ้น | EP.77[1/2] ก็ไม่ได้ชอบเอาชนะ แต่เรื่องอะไรต้องแพ้!!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/JraaBYOd7I0/mqdefault.jpg)
You know, I started watching your videos because I just wanted to learn to grow cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes...now, I've been watching your vids to learn about composting! I never grew a garden before, but with COVID; it forced me to reevaluate my life--and gardening gives me peace of mind. Thanks for the vids!
that has be one of the only good things about Covid. I've been gardening and wanting to homestead for a few years now but covid gave it a violent shove into high gear. good for you to start a garden.
You are not alone and your consciousness is evolving. All the best to you on your journey!
Right? I wanted to raise a garden, and here i'm obsessed with worms....
@@trashcatlinol lol that's awesome as the worms are a major part of the machine which makes nutrient dense, mineral rich produce to consume; unlike the crap that we are offered at the store which is double the price and half the nutrition. All the best to you!
I can't blame a Rona virus on the reason why I started growing my own food, but I was a disease process. You are so right about the peace of mind. 😊
You can also use red worms to "finish" your large thermal compost, I don't turn my piles. I let the worms do it. After the compost heats up and cools off back to a warm but mot hot temperature add the redworms. They will multiply throughout the pile and aerate the pile and enrich it as they go. Once it becomes full of worms that pile becomes the source for worms for you next pile. Just throw on a few shovelful of worms once your new pile cools down.
I may be oversimplifying, but at 80, I try to not create “make work” projects. I have 7 last no till beds, and a corner of the yard with an organic trash pile, clippings from pruning, and that sort of thing. I keep the area of that pile well fed with household garbage and covered with several layers of wet cardboard. The worm “bin” is that 4 square foot area. The worms do not attempt to escape as everything they need is always there. All winter I also compost my 7 beds in place, Ruth Stout style. Again, worms are naturally drawn there, and I put a dozen or so into the beds, from the worm pile every day. So simple. Amazing soil.
Thanks. I garden from a wheelchair. Im a disabled vet and its a therapy for me and i love it. I was a landscape design builder, and was called up for National Guard service and we deployed.
I get all giddy inside like im getting ready for a patrol about 6am waiting to get outside.
Im going to start this for my raised and containers. My wife does the in ground and we feed ours in those areas by using a cultivator on the end of a string trimmer. Grind up a little left overs and use the castings heavy in my containers and raised. Tomatoes love castings.
Thanks!!
Jim holes are not necessary in the bottom of your tote since your tote should never be so wet that there is any liquid that needs to come out. Any liquid that would come out would be leachate and if kept like some unknowing and knowing people do, can develop phyto toxins. If leachate is put on edible plants, not trees and ornamentals, may make a person sick. How a bin is made is determined by where your bin is going to stay. If it is outside you would not put holes in the lid (for the rain to get in) or on the bottom (where worms will crawl out) and they do. You would put more along the side. If it is in the house you need no holes and just put a sheet of newspaper or cardboard on top, that provides plenty of air. Compost for outdoor bins are fine, but if you don’t want to bring in bugs that you don’t want in your home other than normal composting bugs use cardboard, coir, paper, etc. worms should be purchased by the poundage not by number. Why? Many people are not reputable dealers and you could land up with a 500 juniors or wisps. Unfortunately Uncle Jim’s is known for a lot of problems. When you ask for reds you get blues. If someone doesn’t know how to deal with blues, they will all be running out of the tote very fast. Since Uncle Jim’s farms out worms to other people when he cannot keep up with orders this happens frequently. There is no right way to make a worm bin. What works for you may not work out for someone else. The best way people can put a tote together would be to watch a bunch of TH-cam videos on Vermi composting and go to some Vermi composting websites. Red Worm Composting and Vermicomposting Worm Farming on FB are great for newbies and oldies. All kinds of questions, all kinds of answers.
When I put watermelon rind in I had lots of moisture and felt it was helpful to have drainage.
Mary Parkwell just adding a little more cardboard would have solved that problem. When I first started I had holes. Once I realized I didn’t need them and worms crawled out the bottom I taped all holes on the bottom up. After a while you learn to feel. Like I said we all have our methods. Remember moderation is the key. Right now I have a large rotten watermelon. It will be split between 9 totes and a bag. That way no extra moisture.
So the leachate can be aded to non-edible plants will be beneficial?
Mateo Guzman yes but should be mixed with water. Just remember leachate is a mixture of fruit and veggie juices mixed with worm castings. Some people do use on ornamental plants and trees. I have never had any so I never used any. I make worm tea from my harvested castings.

thanks for the info
I actually started my own worm bin this year in May. It has been a great experience. I feed them about 2.5 pounds per week. I started with 1000 worms but they've multiplied like crazy. I've got lots of itty bitty babies (very cute). Also, my worms color has chanded to a deeper purple at the tips. I was concerned when I noticed it but they seem fine and very active. I have gradually increased their food. I try to feed twice a week because I have mine indoors and trying to prevent fruit flies and other bugs. That way they only get enough food to consume over the next 2-3 days (1.25lbs per feeding) thereby preventing fruit flies and other bugs. I am increasing next feeding as they've started to ho through their feeding much quicker now. But, again they are larger and they've had quite a bit of babies.
I was grossed out by them at first but now they're my babies. Trully enjoy the learning experience and of course the besutiful Black Gold for my plants.😉
Where did you get your worms from?
@@simrandhaliwal8195 From "Uncle Jim's Worm Farm". They have a website. Good luck!!
Hi, what size is your bin? Also, Im curious, how much $
are the worms? I am going to do this ASAP!
How u get the results in plant by this compost vs normal compost?? Plz share ur experience
Be careful... Uncle Jim has been known to send night crawlers along with wigglers. He may be the biggest seller, but not necessarily the best. African or European night crawlers are very different than red wigglers. They are fast and weird.
the way you came at it the 1st 10 seconds is rad. LETS GO!
Tuck on a mission!! LoL 😁😂🐾🐾💨 about 2:45 mins in.
drive by Tuck
Thanks James! Could you keep us updated through Fall/Winter with the progress of the worm bin? Enjoy!
Yours and Migardeners videos are the most meaningful and soul touching videos. Thank you.
LOL
Randal Marshik yes, both are good. My gardening guru is Mark from I am organic gardening.
there’s another guy called self sufficient me. I like him too.
What about me? Im learning but I think Im compassionate
"Soul touching"? Okay...
It is crazy how u can start with a handful of worms, give them a moist food environment and in not long it's all eaten with handfuls of more healthy worms
Hi James, I did this exactly as you showed and my worms are THRIVING! Thank you so much!
Who on Earth gave this video a thumbs down? This video is so helpful and James' energy and insight is so awesome!
His jealous ex-girlfriend, of course
Probably someone who was grossed out by worms. So grossed out that they clicked on the video and watched it in its entirety. You gotta love the internet.
Reminder to all folks watching - try and watch the ads :) It helps the video maker make a few bucks. James, I always watch the ads!
There's just something wrong with how excited this guy is when he says "worm juice"! Love it!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I picked up on that too 😂
Dog spots a worm trying to leave at 2:34 😄
I love this dudes energy and passion in gardening!! 🔥🤙🏿
Ya he is on a vibe.
Can we get a heart for tuck running around back there!?
I use the same bins (from walmart) I drill the holes the very same way. I put mine right in the ground and let the worm juice fertilize my lawn. I also have a bin in every raised bed, its a great center piece that distributes worm juice to everyone. When the worm food is all used up they go into the garden bed. I never added worms I just baited them into my bins with coffee grounds. I have so many bins on my property now that my entire quarter acre is now a worm bin. All varieties of worms go into my bins but red wigglers end up dominating the bin as the other worms tend to dominate the the garden beds eating the protozoa that leech out into the garden bed. Every Time it rains my plants get a nice compost tea feeding. I do leave the lid off but if rains get too heavy I have to put a lid on the bin. In summer if plants in the raised bed are not tall enough to shade the worm bin then I shade it with good air flow between the bin and shade device. When that is not an option I just remove it and place it in the shade until fall. I discovered that trapping worms in a bin does not benefit the worms, the castings or the gardener, integrate it into soil or a garden on elevated ground (so it do not sit in standing water) and your entire property will turn into a worm bin. City folks who patio or balcony garden are the only people who need a set up like you showed although your set up is far superior to not vermicomposting at all.
Interesting. I am trying to decide the best approach. In ground has a lot of appeal. I am in central Virginia with hot summers (90’s) and winters with typical lows in 20’s but sometimes short dips at night into low teens. Will red wrigglers survive and thrive in those conditions? I have mostly no dig beds. The other catch is that I am not always there in the winter. Ideas. Thoughts. Suggestions.
I love seeing a little tuck run, his little legs are so freaking cute LOL
Can little Tuck book it or what?!!! (Sorry I'm a child of the 70's!) :)
I used to do this when I lived in another state. Thinking my garden could benefit from doing this again. Thanks for the video.
James this is the best worm farm video that, I have ever seen. It makes it simple and to the point. I always love your videos.
I have a worm bin not for my garden, but as a source of food for my very large comet goldfish, my oscar and severum. I feed baby worms to my angelfish and discus. Best live food for healthy happy fish.
My wife wants an Oscar, and I was going to do the same.
Do you feed them solely on worms? Or use as supplemental.
Do your fish turn their nose up at pellets or other foods after having worms?
You might also want to think about adding springtails. They will help prevent mold and also help the breakdown process
Where do you "get" them from, mine appeared naturally...
Hope you can show us how you harvest the vermicasts. 😊
This is so important to learn about. True circle of life!
Thanks men beautiful house. Thanks
Awesome video. I came across your channel about 2 years ago and honestly didn't think I'd like it that much. But.... you keep popping up in searches about one question or another and the more I learn the more I realize you really know your stuff! So, from my Louisiana garden to yours THANKS!
James, you're the best! You even make worm farms sound fun and exciting! You and Tuck keep up the good work!
Hey .. everyone Moniee-Mon is watching thanks for the info vedios
James, I have recently discovered you. I just want to say "Thank you". You are very down to earth and your passions just shines in everything you do and say - I really appreciate that. I also really like your Jerseyness - I am a former east coaster and don't see Jersey as much as I used to - Keep it real!
Thank you for all your wonderful advice. You suggested looking into local service that may provide free mulch, I did that. In fact they were on the next street over. For $100, I got delivered about 10 to 12 cubic Yards of wood chips with some green leaf material. So I am currently getting about a foot of mulch down in the back. I am so excited to watch my clay soil transform as moisture is better retained and my worms infiltrate the area. I maintain about 3-5 worm bins. I have used designated spots in my yard to place green and brown waste. I found that the worms will infiltrate the area. As I water that area the casting produce tea ( in ground) and the whole area benefits from this source. My whole back yard has truly transformed in 8 months. It was 10 months ago I started vermicompositing. Adding outside , in ground worm bins will draw in worms for easy collection into containers for compositing. I buried cheap plastic contains that have a weaved pattern with holes, put the food in it and the worms are better collected, although they like living right beneath the bin. I never had to buy worms and I have 10s of thousands at this point. Thanks for your channel. “Let’s Go!!”
I just came across the method you are talking about. However, do you have to worry about territorial night crawlers getting in your underground bin? Thank you in advance for your advice! 😊
I'm from Indonesian..... I like u video....i like u garden....and i like u dog because u dog like vegetable dan fruit Verry nice n handsome dog....good job to u....sorry if my English language no good....
James, I get free worms from my yard by using the pots my plants come in and I place them about an inch in the ground and drop my kitchen scraps into them which I place next to my fruit trees and water it occasionally. I learned this from Robbie and Gary on TH-cam. Your idea is fabulous for creating gold compost in abundance! Great video cause I’m going to add this idea to my garden 🤗
Does your method attract the type of worms you require for a worm bin?
@@nervouss Unless she lives in Africa the answer will be no lol
@@CyberMachine Not necessarily, my sister in England was composting in totes and now they are over populated with European night crawlers that she didn't put in it. So it depends on the type of worms in your locale.
I'll definitely start doing this
What great energy you bring- how could I not be enthused after watching that video?! Informative, concise and thorough. Thanks for such quality content.
i love how lovely you treat your pup
I can't wait to see your next update on the worm bin!
So much simpler than other composting bin tutorials that I've seen. I didn't realize vermacompost could be moved indoors for the winter. Thank you for all of your videos, your channel has made me want to garden again🌞🌻
Love your dynamic in your videos .I'm learning so much with you .Thank you
2:33 The garden guard, Tuck, is on the job!
I have a worm bin about the same size. I just throw in my kitchen scraps when they need food. I don't blend it.
When they run out of food they try to escape, so I throw in a gallon of kitchen scraps and they go back into the bedding until they have it all consumed.
I have it in my sunroom so they also get plant debris when I am tending to the plants in there as well.
Like learning new stuff so when ever I get my garden started I know what to do
Best information. Thank you for the details about how much they eat, supplies, what works best, how long it takes. Answered all my questions!!
Man, I have to say I've been glued to your videos for the past three hours or so and I'm impressed by the wealth of knowledge you've collected, retained, and very fluently share. I was really just looking for the best place to order my next Jora 270 composter when I stumbled upon your channel. I just moved into my new place in Lacey about 6 months ago and after doing some recent yard work, I'm now thinking of garden plans for my new place that I can grow with my daughter. The Jora 270 was my favorite asset to my last property and the worms that appeared in it over a short amount of time, out of nowhere, were such a fascination to my daughter and me. It's amazing what earth can provide when you just let it. Nice work on all you've done.
Thanks for sharing! I’ve been very interested in creating a worm habitat for my plants and my fish. Pretty simple how you did yours. Thanks again! 2:33 to see Tuck practicing on how to rid monsters😍
Hey James! Thanks for the easy to understand video! Based on some the comments on moisture levels and leachate I would love to see a follow up vid soon! Love the channel!
James, a second bin with no holes to catch the "juices" is best, this way you don't have the liquid exposed, it's a cleaner application that way. You could also install a faucet to remove the built-up liquids for use in your garden. Introduce shredded paper ovef the to, nothing shiny (news paper, kraft paper etc.) They like to hide underneath and the paper sucks up the moisture.
tannenbaum great idea. Thank you for posting this
tannenbaum you never want leachate in a tote. Your tote should never get more than 60-75 % damp. If you squeeze very hard you shouldn’t get more than a drop out. Leachate is water from veggies and if it sits can develop phyto toxins which if put on edible plants can make you sick.
@@alaskansourdoughwormsgarde4392 Which is why he suggested the drain bin underneath. That way it catches this bad extra moisture.
The Ripe Tomato Farms my point was that you never need holes provided you keep your bin at the correct dampness. There should be no drainage. A bin that is so wet that leachate comes out means your bin is on the verge of being a sick one. Instead of holes more cardboard or other materials should be added. The lid or bin underneath is only to catch it. My issue is you should never let it get to that point. Bedding should be like a wrung out sponge or a piece of washed and wrung laundry. I have 8 large totes in my spare bedroom, none have holes, none are so wet that I even get a drop of water when I squeeze the bedding very hard. I raise Red wigglers, Euros and Africans night crawlers. Four years going on five and never a drop of water. As a matter of fact I started my first tote with a drainage spigot believing that that was what you were supposed to do because of a video I watched only to find out that I never needed it it was a waste of my time and money. I am attempting to be informative not snooty. There are so many things that people believe regarding worms that have been put out on videos but we are finding that most of it is a bunch of bunk. One of the things we have found out is that you can put just about food into a bin and the worms will eat it including citrus, garlic, onion, hot spicy peppers, and coleslaw with mayonnaise, the difference is everything in moderation. You wouldn’t dump a whole package of oranges into a small bin any more than you would throw a gallon of mayonnaise in. An orange here and there is not gonna hurt the worms especially once it has gone moldy. I have had lemons in my refrigerator get mold on them as well as oranges. Some of the people on TH-cam have done experiments with their worms and try different foods, thus far they haven’t lost any of their worms to any of the foods that we believe we’re not supposed to feed them. Worms can eat anything that was once living, Including humans. Worm Lover🥕🌽🌶🥒🥬🥝🍅🍆🥑🥥🥦🍍🥭🍑🍒🍌🍉🍇🍓🍈🍋🍊🍐🍎🍏🥔🍞 God Bless Ripe Tomato Farm
Alaskan Sourdough Worms, Gardens, Etc. Or you simply run your bin where you don’t have leche forming in abundance. I have worms bins with and without drainage. Even in my bin with drainage capabilities, it has not ever needed to be drained.
Great tutorial!! Saved for reference when it comes time to start a homestead. Thanks as always!!!
Thank you James for an excellent tutorial; I learned a lot B/C you gave SO much pertinent info! I enjoyed your obvious 'caring' - not only for natural food growth - but as well for the gentleness with which you spoke about AND handled your worms...almost like pets. Beautiful food forest by the way. Danielle S.
Just got into backyard gardening. Your ideas are so valuable in my quest to have a flourishing garden inexpensively. Thanks!
This is a great video. Filled with common sense and expectations. I have found over the years that by taking my leaves, those of my neighbors, mulching them up, and spreading heavy over my flower beds and shrub beds that I have seen a world of difference. My yard is also full of robins who love the worms!
I just love tuck 😍 ♥ ❤ 💙 too cute
I am going to use Jumpers b/c South Texas heat will cook Red Wigglers.
Fellow South Texan. How did it go with the Jumpers?
Hi James, This worm bin video was great!!! You made this really easy, lots of good details and information. Love watching Tuck! Thank you!
Love what you do! I learn. Stay positive, dude. You are crushing it! Thanks for posts.
This guy is pretty goofy, but by far one of my favorite food gardeners on TH-cam. I love when you get those hippy jams in there too.
I love watching and learning from you
Just starting my worm bin now, thanks for the great info. Love the blended food idea.
Love it James! I am just getting done with my first 6 month run with a worm bin. Now my entire worm bin is worm castings and its like 50 lbs or so. Now I need to build a second worm bin and split them. I plan on pulling out all the worms and harvesting the castings. I will lay it flat on cardboard to dry then I will store it for spring. I will rebuild new beds with peat moss and cardboard and start feeding blended food right away. I plan on having the worms in the basement now, they were outside until now, and I dont want any other bugs in there if I can help it.
Good plan, however it might be better to keep the castings slightly damp. I heard on another channel that they let theirs dry out and it didn't turn out great. I'm storing mine in a bucket with the top slightly open, but I spritz the top with water every couple of weeks as the top gets really dry and crusty.... enough that I trust the advice to keep it slightly damp. But I don't know for sure as this is also my first batch. Good luck with yours
Please could I appeal to all of you out there to find alternatives to using PEAT, which is dwindling in nature due to our over-exploitation of natural wetlands as habitats. 99% of natural wetlands have already disappeared in many countries. You are destroying a natural resource formed over centuries in order to carry out your gardening or wormery projects. There are plenty of alternatives. Please educate yourselves through research online, then act responsibly. Thanks.
@@judeirwin2222 Tell me whats cheaper, better and still organic. Every one always suggest man made materials like cardboard and newspaper. I dont want all that garbage. I dont want bugs in it either. I dont want to pasteurize and sterilize. Its easy, its cheap, its from this earth, it goes a long way. I know that peat takes a long time to grow. Well, so do trees. I understand peat is a large c02 exchanger but its just so good.
@@alrachid2 coconut coir works well. But I think newspapers and cardboard are fine. All the permaculturists and organic gardeners use it, as do I... and the worms like it. I don't have any bugs at all in my indoor bins. Had fruit flies sometimes before I started freezing all the food scraps, but not these days. Working perfectly with just newspaper, bit of cardboard, frozen food scraps and ground egg shells.
@@sarahford979 Thanks for the tip. Coco coir was something I was over looking. I dont like to use a bunch of cardboard because of glue, and news paper because of ink. Kind of seems counter intuitive for organic gardening. Ill look into some coco coir!
Such great information!! You ROCK James!
Seeing tuck always makes my day better.
Hey Tuck, good to see you again. Thank you for all the great information.
I have tripple stacked 10 gal containers with holes in all surfaces in the top two. Bottom container has no holes and the 3 nestle inside each other and work well. Worms love your spent coffee grounds and tea. I've never so much as tossed a k-cup. I use also n the paper with grounds plus use the plastic inserts from the cups to line bottoms of flower pots to suppliment drainage.
Keep the top of compost covered with paper bags which also rot or cardboard to inhibit insect infestations. Remember it's food! Indoors peat moss could render its own insects so an alternative is coco choir which both Walmart or Amazon carry.
Go with coco-peat it makes the compost fluffy so you can stack more without it being too dense.
Thanks for that James.🌸
Your verbals and diction have improved dramatically. I’m extremely impressed.
Hey James, how about a compost tumbler close to your kitchendooor. You add the same type of things as your compost heap with out having to go far. By spring, you should be on your way to some great compost. I have a tumbler as no room here for a compost pile.
This video is exactly what I needed! Thanks bro! You're so inspiring!
so enjoy this !!!
Love the energy man. Keep up the good work. Will be starting my composting bin first then jump in with the worms later. Thanks.
Love your videos. I am growing "tomatoes" here in California and the knowledge that you impart is very helpful.
You’re just plain awesome! Thank you!
I love it!
Learning so much.
I have really been wanting to start a worm bin and you just made the process so easy. I’m not intimidated at all now. Thank you!
Just set up my worm bin.. got 1000 red wigglers. They are all babies . So my question is does using the lid on the bottom keep them from escaping ???
Nice video. I made a worm bed several decades ago. I used the worms for fishing. I filled an old freezer chest with cow manure and dumped about 50 worms in. They loved it and thrived. I fed them with cornmeal. Thanks for sharing your gardening tips.
Very goooood!!!! You've totally got a smashing repore with me!!!! I sent my daughter a text saying," I got the WORM'S. " Awesome watching them multiply, literally as fast as you feed them!!!! Protein is what folk's seem to add to help them gain weight and multiply. I think there's a fine line between manipulating and increasing health for the helper's themselves.... So, I add organic oats, egg shells(coooked to 350/5min.'s to reduce adding salmon illa to your worm's)!, and flax all ground to a powder, except the blended organic vegge slurpee once a week! Their thriving!! Some seed's sprout, especially squash. I pull em' and set em' right down in the mix and they disappear. As long as there's not 10 or so! Thanks by the way, your show help's the week!! weak?! Sp? None are weak, just misinformed by personal reality!
thank you for this information! I love your energy and enthusiasm, too! I can't wait to get started on my own little worm farm!
Good information thank you, happy gardening 👍🏼😂🪱🪱🪱🌱🌱
Great video and good instruction. Thanks for sharing and happy gardening. Love Peg
This was a great video! Thank you. I have been composting with worms for about 15 years and I have not lost my enthusiasm. So enjoyable and so beneficial. Carrots to Tuck !! :)
What is the results of worm castings in plants??
Great thourough tutorial on starting worm bins!!!
Great idea to blend the scraps to add to the compost
In Kentucky, this would be called: Fishing Bait for Life! Just kidding! Way to go James. Hope these little guys make plenty of homemade fertilizer for you.
Derek A Same in Tennessee...
Missouri too.
I’m from Kentucky, and that was my first thought
No that would be good to use worms for fishing and use the fishes head to help out in the garden
Free protein supplement for my chickens is what I heard....
Awesome 🤩!!!
I really enjoy you advice and little dog
Great show!
Inspired!!! Thank You James
Are you as nice, good and energetic a person in real life as you are on YT? Very smart, very cool. Glad you found your passion.
Definitely am motivated! Thank you 😊
Spoiled worms getting veggy smoothies! 🤣😂 You crack me up sometimes, JP!!! You have such a gentle heart...filled with compassion for all God's creators...a great quality. But smoothies for your worms?!?!? 💚💚💚
They can break it down about 10x faster if you blend it up first.
His excitement is contagious!!!!!!! In a good way ❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad to know this. I wasn't sure, I usually make smoothie for my compost so the vermin don't get in
Haha! I was thinking the same thing! I know it's easier to break down this way but man, who has the time??? We generate a bucket of food scraps every day. I'd need a blender out in the garage just for the worms! :D
@@karlsfoodforestgarden6963 some of us have been known to do just that
Keyhole gardening, its the best. 🍄
Total Score!! I had a neighbor moving and they put several extra large totes with lids on the curb. I literally got to make mine for FREE!!!
The most complete guide on TH-cam so far, thx.
Great info!!!! I'm totally starting one!
Thank you for this video... I have been thinking about worm casts for a while now and this video of yours simply gave me the idea how to make my own source of worm casts...
This was so in depth, thank you so much!
that little yorkie running at hyperspeed was so cute
Thanks for the good info. Hi to Tuck. Blessings.
Living in Kansas we get a lot of NW winds here......I was just getting my worms going good in my big compost pile and we got a heck of a storm and wind from the NW. I had to go down to the Texas Panhandle to retrieve my worms and bring them back home. They were really glad to see "Old Dad" and be back "Home" again......sure hope this doesn't continue...........Keep the Faith, James......Tom
Honestly, for worms Please look up Green Gregs Worms.2500 worms for the price that you buy 1000 from uncle Jims. He also guarantees delivery. They are a way better price point. They are larger, healthier, and numerous upon arrival from Greg's.
