So you're telling me that Lloyd and Harry from Dumb and Dumber actually were geniuses when they tried to save up money for their own worm store? 💀
I’m sitting here thinking if I ever started a worm farm it would be called “I got worms”. Lol
outstanding...wish i could like it twice, one for each of em
Mind blown!!!!!!
🤣 yeah, I got worms!
🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
The owner is honest ... he corrects John every time John overhypes how awesome the product is. I hope he finds the financing to scale out his business and end up being a huge supplier to the U.S. mainland.
wonder if he can source food from US growers that have waste fruit / vegetable product or set up a second business on USA mainland to reduce shipping if scaling up.
I have two worm farms from the hardware store but they are full of food so I am building my own from 60 litre garbage bins to increase the composting. I have budgies and a parrot and need to process the waste product being seeds and faeces and used bedding. This is what is filling up my worm farms too much at the moment.
This could totally be on 'interdimensional cable'
Amber McDanel Hahahaha lol! Right after Days and Nights of Mrs Pancake and Jan Michael Vincent. Best comment ever☝️
Oh shidddddddd
Well said mr. poopy butthole
Bihhhhh yes lmao fuck with solar opposites its outta control
Hit the nail on the head with that one
Next video I'm gonna see on my recommended: "make $200k a year by collecting dandelions"
i mean it possible ive learned that growing certain plants in general can make you a good source of income if you got place or a group of customers to sell to dandelions can be used for medical uses including tea selling growing and drying Dandelions to turn into tea bags and add other dried herbs into it and then selling them for a good amount of money people buy them and a business can grow pretty fast.
@MarSar Fishin' Thats awesome
@MarSar Fishin' Weeds are very invasive, it's not just about appearances, although that is the main reason they aren't liked.
For the price of dandelion jelly you probably could get rich making it....
@@charismatic9467 To me regular chemically maintained grass is ugly. Seeing a lawn of dandelions is beautiful.
I tried it on 1 basil plant. It made the leaves smell and taste like a stronger basil flavor compared to the other basil plant. I noticed it in 2 weeks. It repaired itself faster when we pulled leaves for cooking. Probably twice as fast. It took 15 days to arrive after I ordered it on eBay.
What did you try?
@@ale347baker worm juice i guess
Dit you spray the leaves and roots?
WOW !!! Thank You for letting us see this! A Great Operation! I wish him speedy success in overcoming his loss!
- Shredded newspaper, shredded dried leaves are better.
- Banana peels, dried and rehydrated with water.
- Egg shells.
- Manure, horse or cow, horse is better.
- Star fruit (nah) papaya should suffice.
- Sweet potatoes.
- A calorie heavy fruit.
- Avocados.
- succulent green, purslane should suffice and it's better.
- in place of 'all the beneficial microbes, add some JMS.
- dried corn cobs/husks.
- coffee grounds.
- more 'fruit'.
Tl;dr version
This is Good what types of worms are this?
John, this guy needs to write a book about his journey, with steps on how to
"Creating a product to sell is the easy part. The hardest part is finding the customers that want your products." That's a fact. The hardest part of business is getting attention. Staying motivated while your building and not making much is also hard. But keep grinding. Work ethic always pays off in the end. Many people who quit were only 3 feet from gold.
can´t agree more! selling any product is the hardest part
It wasn't like this 10 years ago.
It's only like this because we live under global Fascist Bolshevism now.
Its really not difficult to market if your not in it for the money people that expect to make money overnight always struggle but people that truly add value and give endless free advice end up with endless clients. Its all about lifestyle and wanting to do what youre doing and not just being focused on the end goal
Survivorship bias. Most businesses fail, not just because of lack of hustle.
Give product samples to landscapers. Let the landscaper show a greener thumb.
Trade a pre-diluted sample for scraps, peels and yard trimmings from the small farmers? They share good news.
Will sugar and rock dust in dirt feed the microbes into multiplying and spreading out fast? Will sugar in dirt draw worms?
I had rabbits outdoors in a gated enclosure growing up. We cleaned up their poop but the area under their hutch where they would dig would fill up with droppings. The amount of worms in there was crazy, I'd see them whenever I went to clean it out
Such a great episode. I’m a huge fan. Your changing the world. One exciting video at a time.
Great to see you travel to PR and help the local businesses!! There is a lot to this production! Nice to see PR begin to get back on its feet after the hurricane. Looks like a great product!
This guy literally found a way to sell poop juice.
Nope. He just found a way to _collect_ it...
@@jengleheimerschmitt7941 in old (hazardous) paint buckets.
@@trytobetheballpeople I was thinking the same thing, and PVC toxic pipes.
@ArmchairWarrior Perfect!
Brian, the best poop juice in the world dude
This video is awesome. I learned a lot from the farmer interview. Thank you!
As always a ton of great information from you videos. I love how he is making use of all the local resources to create an amazing product. Worm farming is so easy and make such a great resource for anyone trying to grow plants of any kind.
Except it doesn't look THAT easy. Looks like a whole lot of work! Just collecting all the stuff to feed them. Fortunately it's a warm climate where you have fruit and things all year long. Not many places in the States where you could do this.
I wish I had a home and some land to do it! That would solve some major financial situations. There's alot of fishermen where I live so just the worms would be great to sell. But I don't think my apartment manager would be in lol! I can't even have a grill! It's ridiculous. So many things are.
Awesome vid.. safe travels John. You rock!
i enjoyed the full hour, great video, thanks from Canada.
I know many people are put off by this guy for some odd reason. You can’t deny his passion and knowledge, he is a brilliant man literally giving away gems of information he has gleaned over the ages. More willingness to learn versus burn
The problem is the abysmal lack of basic knowledge. If you want to learn how to raise worms, just maintain decent temperature/moisture/PH levels, feed them composting vegetable matter with decent a C:N ratio and you'll have millions of worms in a few months.
If you want to listen to this guy yell his half-baked recollections of what some other guy told him about his AMAZING HYPOTHETICALLY HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR business, for a dose of "passion", knock yourself out man.
I think John is just a garden "geek". He is a little awkward and unrefined in his delivery of information. Some people require a more polished and perfect delivery like what would come from a TV series like HGTV. But John provides a lot of information on his channel and does it with enthusiasm and curiosity.
He talks pretty fast and leaves no moments of silence. It becomes hard on the nerves. I agree he has good info. I try to listen to him and learn. He could slow down and pause more often.
I, for one, am drawn into watching specifically because of his excitement, passion, and enthusiasm.
Hi John, Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Recently I’ve seen so many vacuum blenders in my youtube news feed but you were the original!!
Great video. You went into some great detail. BTW, what screening are you using to shake out your worm castings?
John, Awesome video my friend! Thank you.
I'm fairly new to the worm/compost/mini homestead world and I'm learning everything from you tubers like urself and the awesome people leaving comments!!! I've learned to use my egg water from hard boiled eggs to water plants/worm compost. I grindthe shells and use them. I'm using just soil, paper, organic kitchen matter and egg shells in my compost bin. I plan to do the worm juice once I see what kind of results are yielded from the compost in my fruits and veggies. Thank you for the info!!!
Check out knf korean natural farming lots of videos here on TH-cam.
@@caseG80 Thanks! Will do.
Jenni from The Dock I started to grow worms with part of the compost from the kitchen.... they are growing good and I do add egg shells and coffee grounds... bought mine at Walmart and added some more from the yard.... it’s easy and my plata are growing pretty good
omg I have been throwing away all the good stuff lol
The farmer started his business through a science project for his college biology course. I think it's funny that in my life as a subsistence farmer and artist, I am now back to where I started as well. My project when I was younger was feeding graywater to plants, and that is what I am still doing atm. I want to get off the grid one step more and get into more waste composting using worms. I admire this farmer's DIY attitude. Sometimes it is hard to find the psychological strength to keep dealing with failures and keep on keeping on with the isolation in farming. We have had a lot of challenges and losses with 10 years dairy animals in the sub-tropical area we live in, for instance. I am hoping worms and composting will work out for us better. Watching this has saved me a lot of trial and error so far.
The real reason why education exists 😂
@@SharkFishSF Education? More like programming "school." How many college/high school educated people can grow an herb, let alone a garden or a farm? Last year exposed a lot: a sheep mentality, a lack of critical thinking skills, AND no life skills (cooking, growing food, preserving food, building, you name it).
@@irmasanchez5274 I don't know why I commented that, but you're right, in my country, someone earning 18000₹ per month (200$) in a village growing small crops is seen as a mediocre job, while earning the same in a cubicle with no future prospects in a city is seen as prestigious. Pretty fuxked up. It's changing now though.
@@SharkFishSF Yes, this is an exciting time! We're learning to value our health and people who grow our food. I finally started a windowsill garden, soon to become a biodynamic windowsill garden, plus worm composting in a small NYC apt. It can be done! Best of luck to you.
Dealing with failures is how we learn. Blessings for doing what most of us can't! Isolation in farming? Be in your moment of what you are creating
To everybody complaining how loud he is- turn down your volume. I appreciate being to hear. Next subject...i have been worm farming for 30 years. Worms eat my garbage. And yes, use leachate and worm castings in my organic garden. If you don't want a worm farm , then you need to try it. It will change your mind.
Why are you not a farmer anymore?
@@RoRo0490 still worm farming but am disabled so that was the end of the 40×100 veggie garden and orchard.and goats....left a dairy farm years and years ago.
Not I Marjorie, love and appreciate John speaking loud, as I help around our home with cleaning chores, I turn the volume up high and whenever I hear something or feel John's showing something of interest, I scurry over to my pc. On the other hand, I've never complained to Prepper Princess on account her videos are just as interesting as John's but that lady speaks so softly, lol....I remember one time she asked us in one of her 'streams, but I guess she's a soft spoken and discreet lady. ;) Anyways wishin' ya an IRIE day and catchin' up on my John Coley videos! :D
@@marjoriejohnson6535 I had to get out of goats for now, since we have so many parasite losses, and then this recent freeze really did us in. I miss them so much. I am disabled too, but do square foot/ no till gardening (and we had tiny little goats and and have even a tiny but sadly unproductive cow I need to sell.) I didn't do worms yet because I figured our chickens would get them, but I really want to try them.
@@KKIcons I do it in my cellar...but i have one going in my kitchen right now..i use restraunt bus bins with a card board cover I cut to fit.. there is NO smell..or flies or anything but worms...and happy house plants.
Gonna make some worm elixir myself. Sounds like a great project...
Excellent worm video on start to finish of the product.
Best of Luck this season GroBro! I enjoy watching the step by step of the season. Mostly because alot of the time we all change things up season after season. Much respect brother ! Let’s get it! 🌱🌱🌱
AWESOME job Giovanni! 😎👍
Can you explain how the string trimmer device was made? I am looking make my own! Thanks
I cant believe i watch the whole video. Awesome job. Thank you for the video.
Iam really enjoying this sharing from Puerto Rico. Thank you!
Smart fella! Ty for going to see him and showing us! I shall order some!
John- you said you would post a link to the source for your favorite worm castings; but I don’t see anything listed as a worm castings. Can you add a link to them?
Worm juice, that's what I lovingly call it :) I've just started a small wormery. The first crop of juice was last week :) Lettuce, garden waste, kitchen scraps, cardboard, and anything biodegradable works a treat for my tiger worms
Cant wait to try your product. Great work.
Really fantastic! Watched the whole thing
Absolutely love it, Dude, that kid should automate some of his processes. He could save a lot of time and concentrate on finding customers and increasing production.
If you're wondering, the pendant around his neck is a QLink, which the company says doesn't need batteries because it "interacts directly with the body's own natural energy systems."
wasn't that stuff proven to be full of radiation?
I just started one in my old bathtub. Horse crap/worms/scraps. Can't wait for awesome fertilizer. Peace
How do you keep a chemical level consistency? Or, is it not measured?
Thanks for the tour!
I found this video from your videos lol.
Excellent video, John!
The BEST Video out their on this subject! Great Interview!!!
The rabbit poop by itself is great for the garden.
Meat rabbits scare me, big ugly suckers and very poopy. Worms cleaner and simpler... ijs
Keep talk castings an teas. ant get enough because you add new tips each time. Thank you for your hard work and commitment. Don't forget Reef Maddness was a state of mind at the time :D
Thank you for the great information.
That is a pretty heavy duty basement for a 1500sqft home.
A huuuuuge thank you to the 'farmer' [Giovanni, I later found out] for letting this guy do the tour for us. Wishing you all the best for your venture!!! regards, from Australia
Just some things to put out there. There are a few things that I want to point out as you seem to lack some info, either due to just hearing about this or misinformation. As a person that raises worms for castings for personal use, there's nothing proprietary about what one feeds their worms, just treat them like any other pet, feed a balanced diet and the castings will come out just as good. Second, is the identification of leachate[i think that's how it's spelled] within the video, it seems that the term is being used interchangeably with worm tea which is something way different. In the video, it seems, what is being made is as he stated to be leachate that's been processed and sold in bottles to be diluted by users as straight leachate will burn your plants. It's not worm tea as that has a very small window of use after making [use within 4 hours of making it] in order to be effective.
Htsw there must be chemical traces somewhere in your system
What is the difference between worm tea and leche?
@@CuriousinNY There are more detailed information over the web, but here's a somewhat condensed version.
Worm tea is a liquid made from purposely cultivating beneficial bacteria. This is done by adding completed worm castings to water and essentially aerating the solution[via air stone or pump[maybe]] to provide oxygen for the beneficial bacteria/microbes in the castings to grow and multiply. Some people like adding additional amendments to their worm tea during the the aerating stage as well to enhance the effects. The resulting solution can be applied to your plants directly without risk of burning them; just know that the solution is best used within 4 hours of making it.
The video itself does a good job of explaining what leche is, and any questions you may have can easily be answered by more seasoned veterans on dedicated sub reddits for vermiculture
Htsw Thanks
You are correct, although I personally use the 24 hour time table for best results. (Of course the sooner the better) Worm tea is worm castings that are steeped and aerated with some molasses for the beneficial bacteria to eat and reproduce quickly. Best used as soon as possible for best results. Leachate is the runoff from the worm bin. Leachate is inferior in my opinion, it smells completely different from proper worm tea which smells sweet and earthy. Using leachate is like playing Russian roulette, the quality and results are inconsistent. It may be ok if it was processed by the worms or it may kill your plants... Just reuse the leechate back into your worm bin when you are needing to add moisture into the bin. I use my leechate to wet newspaper instead of using water. The worms will reprocess the leechate and make worm castings which you can use a handful of castings in a sock or whatever to make your own worm tea that has been aerated with molasses; this method is more consistent and concentrated then shown in this video. :/
Hi sir! What is your proportion of dilution before u spray to,plants or water the plants . Thanks
The bike tires - absolute brilliance.
That worm juice looks good. 🌱
Thanks for pointing out the rabbit habitat. They're at risk for foot sores and fly strike out there like that and it's possible they're upset about floating over the ground the way they are. Those aren't secure containers.
I don’t know a single thing about worms or what to do with them but now I have a desire to find out more about them :) . I think this video was great and I appreciate how much information is in it . I will save it so it can be referred to if needed !
I appreciate that you pointed out that the rabbits are not kept in an ethical way. That’s really disappointing that the owner is allowing them to walk on wire for their whole lives. Animal abuse.
king quail would produce poo and king quail are prolific breeders .
Trays that could pull out under the rabbits filled with soil would absorb the waste and be kinder to the rabbits.
Love you !! Love your excitment!!
Lol@ the guys reaction @42:03 however, its great to see this farm in my native island, Puerto Rico😎
I love your videos John! Could you please consider adding a few questions about things that have gone wrong or what they would do differently if they had to start over? Thanks for all you do!
Great video and tons of useful information!!
I have worms to trade or sell; challenge the rich celebrities who argue about climate change to help people like me achieve a sustainable practice. They bear the capital to fund sustainability yet they prefer to talk. And scream.
Best video on worms I’ve seen in awhile! Been farming em for seven years 👍🏼
I need to move my wife out of my basement and set up a worm farm
Graham Wright
Fuck that. Just grow wives in the basement.
😂😂😂😂
And extract the juice...
Graham Wright I need to move out of the basement or be eating by the worms or the wife
@@gustavomiranda932 ain't nobody gonna want wife juice. It'll turn your hair grey on the first sip.
like whole way you done this,well done. A lot of detail ,done some farming in my time. Cool
Beautiful insights ☺
Thanks sir I am watching from South Korea now a days when I will go back to Nepal i will use your idea
@Hello Dhansur Budha Magar, How are you doing?
God bless P.R. so glad they survive by farming.
Amazing video. Just discovered this channel, already subscribed 😅
Very nice... ended up buying some West Knight Worm Leachate 12oz to test on the SPICES. Thank you for bringing this to all the people.
That’s why I live in Orange County 70-80 degrees today! 2021 RIP MF DOOM
Hi! Enjoyed the video and interview. A question occurs to me regarding the "elixir" which (please correct me if I'm mistaken) relies on natural bacteria collected from the beds as part of a tea or leachate. My question is simply this, if the bacteria are alive and present within the leachate collected and filtered (multiple times) what is the shelf - life of these beneficial bacteria? It seems to me that without the bacteria being "alive" in the solution, your product is little more than a soluble nutrient-dense solution. If the product is to perform at a level of a solution with "active" bacteria, it would be nice to know just how long your product is able to maintain that level of performance. Thanks again for a glimpse into your business model!
I’d say 24 hrs tops from The initial brew date... Seems like it would be a difficult transaction involving USPS in overnight shipping and all that seems like the substrate would be dead by the time it arrived
TH-cam has dozens of videos on making Bokashi Compost loaded with bacteria using rice rinse water etc etc please watch, fascinating!!
These bacteria have spores and so forth in the mix, so, as it is applied, they will spring forth in your soil and do magic things without much help from us. Reverse your question - if you were trying to get completely rid of bacteria and mycorrhizae, spores, mycelium etc. What lengths would you have to go to by only filtering and letting sit on the shelf, until you were sure there was no viable life in the mix?
If none of thats satisfyingly comforting, simply take a bucket with "not fresh from the tap" water, play with the mix and the water until a just darker than tea color ( you cant mess this up, go heavy go light, it will all fine of benefits) add a couple of tea spoon dollops dark unfiltered mollases and stick a fish air stone init. Maybe stirring once a day cuz you like to stir, maybe not because you dont. After 3 or so days, you'll have a wicked yummy treat for your plants.
At this point , i strain through cloth for the sprayer and dilute until watered down tea colored,, a 5 gallon bucket easily makes 20 gallons. Keep it off the leaves unless very weak and rinsed off after 10 minutes for foliar feeding. Use liberally and regular with a healthy bed of composted leaves and leaf mulch. And enjoy!
Youve really got a good amount of lee way, as true balanced organic beds wll simply use what they need and leave the extra for the next plant, without forced uptake that causes imbalance and burns.the basic idea is-
aerobic =
good stuff=
oxygenated = 🌻
No oxygen=
an aerobic=
stagnate = 🤢🤮
If it smells repulsive, pour it out, it should have a earthy non acrid odor,
@@dont.ripfuller6587 Thanks for your reply. I get what you're saying about there always being spores or elements of active oxygenated bacteria to provide for a brand new and fresh "bloom" when you have the right recipe. My real question however goes to whether or not those same good, oxygenated, latent bacterial components from "worm-tea" can continue to exist by way of suspended animation within a moisture free substrate derived from processing the tea to a powder!
@@dennishayes544 weeell....dang. That escalated from garage work bench to science lab faster than i can say kombucha...the answer is yes. But the in-between part Id have to do some research. The tough part would be identifying and standardizing what amount of what kinds of beneficial fungus/ bacteria are in each packet (assuming youre thinking of marketing). Theoretically,if you use the exact same ingredients and amounts for your tea, you should get consistent growth of what types it favors, then have it tested somewhere that can tell you what you have. Then, straining, through cloth followed by percolating through a fine filter, and flash dried in an oxygen free environment.
What's the goal? To see how long on the shelf it will last and remain viable?
Very rarely I watch a video an hour long. this one I did. thank you
Are his bottles dark brown. Blocking UV light? Thank you
Thanks John for the inspiration. I'm in my 2nd year w/ a small worm farm project. I feed them the best ingredients from my kitchen. They love Avocado peels. I recently put in a whole dragon fruit that was going bad and they devoured it in matter of hours. Forgive my cranktified American brothers and sisters who thrive off spewing negativity in comments and elsewhere. Trifle annoyances.
Pareja7 that’s so fascinating!!! I’d love to learn how to get started. Something that would use avocado or banana peels to make worms or worm castings that could be sold is something that I would love to learn how to do.
@@hottiemchot2998 I agree with you this is fascinating. I'm hoping to start up my veg garden soon and have watched hundreds and hundreds of TH-cam videos re all aspects. Look for videos re worm farming and theres enough to satisfy everyone, I love the little wrigglers and you will be endlessly fascinated by them. Hope you do well!!
such a load of bull! Worms don't eat the scraps rather the decomposed state which happens as a result of other micro-organisms working on them..Takes a couple of days at the least.

Daaang John! I saw your ad while watching your vid. Well played lol.
Hi John, I enjoyed this episode, had no idea leachate could be bottled and stored. Is there a shelf life for it? Will it take care of Root Knot Nematodes?
Colloidal silver or nano silver will take care of root rot
You're a goofball. Which I'll admit took a little bit to get used to, but adding humor into videos is always great. Thank you so much for this insightful, educational flick. Well done.
You sound like a nerd
Cripes, you have some snippy followers or commenters. I don't know what they are talking about. I find this video very helpful, gives me ideas for myself. Thank you! Good job.
you must be brain dead to cope with his rambling
good info but he's annoying
Mo jo lol
Everyone learns different. I find having random facts or off tangents thrown into a discussion is way more informative for a big picture. Honestly if you don’t care and just want a summarized info sheet just use google and scan articles. That’s a hell of a lot more time efficient, but these long TH-cam videos hold a lot more info sometimes for those that truly care to learn.
MO JO you have to be really ignorant and backward to leave such a comment. It’s unnecessary and as far as me being brain dead? I have a very strong mind sooooooo you wasted your time and efforts. Sucks for you.
Catherine Grace amen! So many people have the attention span of a fly. Not this youtubers fault that they aren’t smart enough to learn the small things too
Excellente video. I love to read about or see an entrepreneur’s total from scratch experimentation and then succeed Very gracious of you to help and I hope that this man is rocketship successful.
Thanks John for sharing
You could use an old bathtub or water tank. My parents had a worm bin with a water tank, they collected the juice from a tap on the bottom and had a really good fertiliser for the vegetable patch.
I think the bath tub have lead paint.. maybe not but I know someone had a problem with this
I meet a guy who had a second hand milk vat and was trying to make the worm leachate and sell it years ago
been following you for a long time bro.. but your video's are too long for me to keep up.. in my country (south africa ) we pay for data streamed... watching your one hour video cost me more than going out for a movie... please make them shorter and more to the point.. Love from africa...
Thats a political problem. Become politically active and change the laws or regulations where you're at. Its 2021...how the hell are people still not allowed access to the internet and streaming..? Good luck to you.
Starlink will change your life
@@yohananeliyah You have a self righteous problem. Become a decent human being and keep your dumb unfounded opinions about South African problems to yourself...who the hell do you think you are..? Good luck to you.
Try turning up the play back speed if you can listen that fast
If you’re interested in making this your business I believe you should put in the one hour of knowledge you’ll need to start this line of work

So, how does one actually test what nutrients the leacheate contains and the efficacy of the product?
He could take it to a lab or conduct a side by side test.
You scared the popcorn right outta my hand!
Not sure why people are complaining about this guys long hour video he is entertaining. He is like this mix white/asian guy who is very enthuiastic
They hate knowledge he puts out🤔
Great video, well worth watching 👍
Hey John, cinnamon is an EXCELLENT organic fungicide. Maybe that's why the orchid competition winners were using it. Just saying.
But we need some good fungi for the living soil.?
@@hvt8147 I have a bottle of white mycorrhizae on my gardening shelf specifically for that. It adds beneficial fungi to the soil that promotes root growth for certain plants.
alot of good info here great video. can this only be done in a subtropic climate? i live in the pacific northwest.
Indoors, shed or garage in the winter
I do as well and was just wondering this myself!
I'm doing it in Illinois. In my basement. Probably not the same worms. Same idea
Look up northwest redworms. He is in your area.
Thank you
Really love this video
Hello I am a ex- surfer from Aguadilla PR. I now live in new 🗽 state island. I just started to grow weed at home. That is why I saw your channel. I just want to say thank you for information.
👮♂️ excuse me sir I have some questions...
Hi David, how is it going? How is the growth?
Lol he is so baked in this one. Love it man, but you are kind of yelling a lot.
So if I have a 225-gallon fish tank I can do my water changes weekly and put the water in the worm beds?
not enough nutrients would be collected in a week to do anything more like a month then only drain/do a partial water change and he uses the water run off from his giant muck (worm beds) weekly to get the "elixer" then filters out several times
Awesome info
what was the mix ratio of the final tea thanks
I’m thankful for the 10sec fast-fwd feature to get to the info quicker. 😁. Cool vid.
I always wondered about the ink in news paper and the chemicals used to make paper and their tendency to persist or pass on to what we eat. Any information on this? One person told me in healthy soil will lock the poisons in carbonic acid. And then its no threat to your diet. I dont want to work to grow good food only to poison myself. Any information on this?
When I delivered papers years ago I was told that the ink was made from soy. No idea if that's still the case.
Enjoyed this ty
I put some worms in a Garden Tower I bought a while back, inside my spare bathroom, as the extreme outside Vegas heat would kill them. The worms flourished in it, but so many spawned that they started spilling out of the tower and, of course, died on the floor, making it a hassle of constant cleanup. I did try putting some of them in a raised garden bed outside, but the heat was just too much for them to survive, even underground.
So bottom line, they are easy enough to grow, but you need to live in a fair weather climate so you can grow them outside.
