Grab an Urban Worm Bag: growepic.co/3R... Earthworms are one of the most powerful organisms in your garden soil, tirelessly plowing through and turning larger chunks of organic matter into nutrient-rich castings.
These castings are colonized by bacteria, fungi, and other organisms in your soil to mobilize nutrients for your plants for EPIC harvests.
Let's practice a bit of vermiculture and encourage more earthworms in your soil. To do this, you have to provide the perfect environment for them - rich in organic matter, protected from sun and wind, and evenly moist.

If you wanna get on that worm composting game, here's my fav system: shop.epicgardening.com/products/urban-worm-bag
worms.. My yard is full.. so many I can use them for fishing in addition to all the worms I need to promote the squash farm..
Are you the guy that imported the corrugated raised beds from Australia?
Would be cool to see a video on the worm bag.
I have a curious Question about your garden. how do you stop people from stealing or destroying your garden as its in the front ?
Would love to see the bag in play. We’ve had worm bins. But, they were single layer totes. I love that this one zips closed.
Would also love to know where you’re located. We’re in So. Cal. I have found a gardening channel I love (MI Gardener), but the climate is not the same where they are.
Thanks!
Collect and save worms after a rainfall, just walk out to the curb and look in the street gutter. You will notice after heavy rain that they will be filled with lots of live earth worms! Walk around your block and collect them all into a container and then bring them home to your the garden! If you don't they will just die a sad death in the gutter. Help your garden while saving wormy lives!
Super good idea!
My husband's and I have our own landscaping co & we're literally dos just that, cleaning out a very long curb of dirt/ mud & mushy leaves. I know I collected at least 55 worms. I also feed them to my very large Texas Ciclas on occasions just as a treat
But I'm into the worm gardening to fortify my raised veg bin. Thank you everyone for all the good tips.
I have actually done this with my daughter! We feel like heroes after and she often looks in our garden bed for her worm friends who are pooping to make our plants grow!🤷🏻♂️😂
Yayyyy I do that tooo!
Especially if it has leaves. they get stuck on them
Can't dig up earth in my backyard without digging up worms, I'm blessed.
When i first started gardening at this location i had few worms in my garden. I've always believed in using organic matter instead of fertilizer so after a few years my garden had a lot of worms and i guess this year is gonna be even better because i started covering the garden with 12" of dried leaves over winter.
@@WDWormsnGarden that's awesome! I just started making compost last year and I've gotten some excellent results from leaves and alfalfa hay alone.
Me too! Love those worms. I use mushroom compost.
@@nancywebb6549 same here, it's inexpensive and rich lol
Here where I live in San Antonio you have a few choices of what your “dirt” will be: limestone; black sticky clay; sand. I have the clay. Nary an earthworm in sight! Only way to garden? Natives in the ground and veggies in raised beds. Anything else in pots or raised beds. It’s fine! Very French! Lol My front yard is native Texan xeriscape. The back is in the process of being transformed into a permaculture food/flower/herb/hammock sort of place. Of course it will be too %@#* hot to be out there July, August, and September! Lolol
I feel so guilty when I accidently chop a worm : < & I will try to rescue drying/dying worms from the pavement after the rain : >
Same!
Me too, when I find them in the street or sidewalk, even if they are dry I try to bring them back to life and put them in my dirt
Same here!
That's is exactly how my worm garden started 😊.. Made up entirely of strays and the stranded homeless. Doing my part. Peace and Love to you all
Yeah my bleeds whenever that happens and although they can't hear me i tend to apologize.
Because of aquatic hobby, I learned to touch crickets and superworms. Because of gardening, I learned to touch earthworm. Now, there's no more monster that could scare me.
:)
Potato bugs.
When I built my garden beds last year, I couldn't figure out why the plants didn't produce as well as my old bed. Now I know, I had no earth worms and no compost so I was planting in a dead soil. This past fall I added rabbit poop/ leaves to all the beds and the transformation is unbelievable.
I have so many earthworms in my garden... in the beginning it freaked me out so much that I didn't want to do any gardening work (I love plants and always dreamed of having my own garden but ironically I hate bugs). Thankfully I got used to them.
Yeah I've noticed that in people! You get used to them :)
Earthworms is a sign of good soil. These mini gardeners certainly are a blessing.
Good job, I'm proud of you.
@@Juiced10111 the best compliment I ever got on my second story balcony garden was when I started finding worms in the soil when I never intentionally introduced any. They might have been in the soil from the pots of plants that I bought from the nursery, but I like to think I was doing a good enough job of taking care of our little garden that the found a way to wiggle their way up here.
Yes I'm still new to gardening (3yrs) and I still HATE itttt. They freak me out but hey atleast I try lol
"Almost like an actual butt" 😂😂😂You're great.
Yes. Vermicompost. Been doing that for 7 years now to reduce kitchen waste, cardboards, papers, cotton clothings.
Genius
Goodbye food scraps, hello castings!
Thuan Le can you tell me how you use cotton clothing? I’ve never read about using cotton clothes in compost! Thanks
@@anitaevers2119 Cotton is a natural fiber (from the cotton flower). I just throw it in, like a cotton towel or t shirt. Eventually, only the threads , labels, or button... may remain. It will take a while. If the clothing item does not compost after 6 months or so then it is not 100% cotton.
@@anitaevers2119 I also use cotton clothing but I make sure I shred it up pretty well or it takes forever and I find that cotton fabric is the least favoured worm food. They eat fruit and veggie scraps and paper/cardboard first.
Before my parents moved out of state, they had a vegetable garden in their backyard. Along with a mulch pile. While I was growing up, my dad and I would dig in the mulch for worms to go fishing off our dock. The pile was almost always loaded. Sometimes we'd even come across night crawlers. We'd dig up the worms, put them in a cup, and cover them with dirt. It was a lot of fun, and I caught a lot of sun fish and crappies. 🐟
ok, where the heck does one buy the very book you are holding in your hand in the beginning of the video? I searched the internet. Couldn’t find it. Anybody?
I would love to see a more in-depth video on the Urban Worm Bag. I’ve been thinking about getting into worm farming and this system seems so much simpler than some of the others I’ve seen.
Sure thing!
Can I use this in the basement?
You missed a huge issue: the soil needs fungi, nematodes, bacteria, etc. All of those are located in the gut of worms so they distribute and create a healthy soil biome.
Very good point - I wanted to keep this more basic!
I think that's why he mentioned not using chemical fertilizers. Those things are notorious for damaging the soil microbiota.
Incredible information!!Thank you !!! I have definitely seen the difference planting in good dirt and the clay dirt !
I remember I used to be terrified of worms, now I love my little slime noodles.
Link to my tour with Charles Dowding tour: th-cam.com/video/r2tVCrGi7Ck/w-d-xo.html
Let me stop you right there (24 seconds in), you're telling me there's a more effective method than digging up random mounds of grass in my yard? This I gotta see.
My ways are chaotic but my intentions are pure
@@ASocialCommentary I like to rescue worms from the bait shop lol
@@manchu6005 I fucking hate grass all it is just something you have to cut and it doesn't even really look good if I had goats or cows I would feel different about grass but it's just useless I mean it's fine for a golf course I used to work on the golf course and that was cool but I don't have the space for the luxury to just have tons of space occupied by nothing but grass I want some damn herbs and fruit growing in my yard
@@TrollHiddenCave spare us the vulgarity! Just blog what you would like to say without getting crude.
Thank you!
@@TrollHiddenCave Do kiss your mum with that 💋? 🤣 I agree💯.... bought a house with a 3 acre lawn with an HOA that only allows lawn so we saved 4 years to put up a fence so we can grow food. I drive home and pass yard after yard of wasted space. And alot of folks are ignorant to how bad lawns are to the environment. Fertilizer is killing the ocean. Pesticide killing us. Nature was designed to be diverse.....nowhere in nature do u see a lawn.
Hey man, he who controls the spice controls the universe...You know what the spice is? (Spoiler alert) Worm poop.
I just found your channel, and am, coincidentally, starting my first garden. So been binge watching your content to help me better grow , thank you for this
I saw two baby red earthworms in one of my flower pots the other day they looked hungry so I added some coffee grounds and leaves and sticks to the soil
I’d like to hear more about the worm bag. Specifically how bad does it smell and if there are any pest issues with it. We have roof rats in my neighborhood and I’m concerned we would attract them if we had a compost pile or worm bag. Thank you!
I'll do a full breakdown of it in the future!
Erinn Andrews good ques, I would like to know also
I had a worm inn, similar to the urban worm bag. The pro is that it has a small footprint, easy to use and easy to set up. A family will produce enough kitchen waste along with amazon cardboards to compost. It has good airflow around the bag and the compost won't stink up (go anaerobic). The casting (worm poo) will be easy to harvest at the bottom of the bag. The zip top will keep the gnats and fruit flies out but won't keep the rat out if you have any!!! In cool San Diego temperature, this will work nicely. The reason I stopped using this system is in LA, at 100F summer, the system dries out or heat up too much and I killed too many worms. I have an in ground pit that I use to dump my compost in.
Epic Gardening I have Urban Worm Bag and zero smell ..... I have red wiggglers working the top and African night crawlers working lower levels Freeze vegetable waste and then thaw before putting in bag and put food in corner and let worms come to food .... Highly recommend.
@@epicgardening Do you literally just put your cardboard in a shredder? I mean, is it a special shredder? Have you used it as mulch before? I just read someone's comment about cardboard and all these inquiries came up. I am brand new to your channel, so maybe I will come across a video you have done before. KTHNX! :D
Epic video Kevin! This one and the one on using Neem oil for insect control are enlightening. Quick question: can I apply worm tea directly to the base of plants or must I dilute it? Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us.😍
I love how worms can't see light like we can but they use there skin to see.
I was worried about my earthworms being attacked by ants, usually I’d see ants going into my worm bin and seeing some dead worms. I’d like to know how to resolve the problem.
If you have ants in your worm bin things are not going well
Keep them wet. The ants don't like it. I water mine everyday. It also helps breakdown the compost.
Hi, I love your videos and you inspired me to garden more. I was just wondering about rolly Polly, if they are ok to have in your potting soil? If not, what can I do about them?
To a degree, too many is bad
I Really Appreciate You To say Importance of Earthworms. As you said, Charles Darwin Uncovered Earthworm's Value.
I Want Many People Came to Know Their Contributions. More Comfortable Approach Without Prejudice Will be Great.
I would love to see an in depth video on worm farming. Some questions I would have are - how do you source your worms, do the worms need repleneshing and how often can you harvest their produce?
Uncle jims worm farm is good for worms.
nick duggan I bought 2000 worms from Uncle Jim and they have performed beautifully. I just did a worm bin update. Worms are relatively easy and the benefits are outstanding.
I just started my mini worm bin a few hours ago. I'm excited to see how it turns out! 🐛
Hii how did it come out
Started mine like a week ago and I already have castings 💜
If I have zero worms in my yard & want to start a garden, how do I obtain a variety of beneficial worms?
You usually can go to a local gardening store and buy a bunch of the worms and put in the garden :) now granted you need to make sure your garden is prepared for them- organic material like compost is perfect for amending it :)
@@destinym.2621 Thank you! I live in the high desert. When I bought my home, there literally was not one square inch of exposed soil. It all was under concrete or rocks layered over plastic. I removed the rocks and plastic and did some digging. There are NO worms on my place! I've found places with worms for sale, but they're compost worms or red wigglers or other kinds I've never heard of. I can't seem to find good ol', plain ol' earthworms!
I started watching videos about the start of the virus in January and realised that any fresh food I could produce was going to be important . I got a heads start , but I noticed not many worms so this is a great idea
Yea I like to hear more about the worm bag. Interesting
I was thinking about buying your worm castings. It's fall now and the cold winter is coming. Would it be best to add the castings in the spring?
I swear every time I have a gardening question you make a video on it the next day 😂 this is seriously the most helpful channel ever!
Mind reader ;)
My mum taught me the value of worms & composting when I was young.
Since then I always make sure to make a big a space as possible to make a compost. I currently have 2 very large L shaped areas that are used in succession. Everything except meat scraps & citrus goes in there.
Worm heaven!
Why would you not put meat scraps in there? Meat breaks down just fine
@@molonlabe8470 You don't want the bacteria that comes from meat breaking down in your compost. It's definitely unhealthy.
@@molonlabe8470 can attract rats :(
bruh I really thought you had comments off for a second I didn’t even realize I was early
You're a speedster bro
Question if I am planting w planters should I throw a couple of worms in each planters? I am not even kidding lol 😂
Thank you for your video! Weekly, I use my blender to mix all my scrap food and take it directly to my backyard and mix it with my soil. Later in spring, I use that soil in my garden. Do you see any issue with that? I am hoping to generate worms and have a healthier soil for my garden. Thank you.
I am not a professional, but I believe it is called in situ composting. It can help increase your soil's biodiversity and organic content, so it can be helpful. However, I am not sure if it can guarantee earthworms. The only thing I would recommend is to refrain from adding a ton of citrus scraps. I've noticed that my worms don't like citrus. They can handle a little bit.
The problem with making collaborative comment community is that TH-cam does not have a powerful comment system. They can't be searched, viewed all at once, formatted, quoted, nor linked to. That said, people will see each other's comments and can react to them, but only those that are sorted to the top.
Stfu.......
When using grow bags, would you add earthworms directly to it? I don't think they'll go in without you putting them there right? I have a TON of rolly pollies in one bag, so I know I get bugs in there, but worms aren't present sadly. :(
Yes! A break down would be awesome! This was so interesting! I would love to see the harvest of the castings!! Edited to add .. do they freeze or do you need to protect them if it’s supposed to get below a certain temp? Thanks!
They don't like
I live in Arizonia what is the highest temperature they tolerate? That's when we would have to bring them in.
Gets too hot in Arizona. I think 75 degrees is the upper temp. range for worms.
Hello, I was wondering if you can make a video on fertilizer. Like, store bought compost tea, tea concentrate, kelp fertilizer, all the meals, the B-12, all the meals, like kelp meal, blood meal, guano, just like... it’s so complicated and I was wondering what your tried and true methods were. I grow veggies btw, I experiment with different varieties and I just want the best for them.
I know it’s a complicated topic.
Thank you for your time.
Yes, I would love to see a video comparison of worm-bin systems!
I’d love to do this, but my brain will not allow the keeping of worms inside the house and living in Canada I’m guessing it won’t take long to freeze them all to death in this setup. For the cost of a bag of castings, I’ll stick to buying those and live vicariously.
Thanks for your vids, just discovered you. I've learned so much already :)
Great to hear!
"Think like a worm" LOL. But that's what I do. "If I were where would I hide?"
I use meadow clippings as mulch. The worms LOVE it!
When there is more work in your bodies then your backyard
Please do more about that worm bag! That sounds awesome!
Thank you for helping inspire me to keep on trying during these hard times. I’m gardening again for the first time in probably 3 years, and it’s making me feel so fulfilled right now. My radishes sprouted today! You (and also Roots and Refuge Farm. Check them out!), are really helping me get through this pandemic.
Keep doing you, my dude!
You got this bro.
Confession...I love to grow plants but the hardest thing for me is that I'm disgusted by WORMS! I know that they are so harmless but I had a horrible experience as a child, biting into an apple with a worm in it. Spiders, snakes, bugs - I'm OK with but worms...I can't stand. This is why I stick to potted plants only. :(
Can you imagine the worm's surprise when you bit him? Just kidding.
I ordered your book today and I'm so excited to get it. I'm learning from you!
💚💚💚💚💚💚
What ever you do, PLEASE DO NOT BUY WORMS FROM UNCLE JIM.
Why not?
Who is Uncle Jim?
I wouldn't know... because God has blessed me with an abundance of earthworms. Maybe I should start selling them to those of you who have so few.
Hmmm....a new business opportunity. 🤔
@Fun Fact They advertise red wrigglers (eiseneda variety) but you may get blue worms (Peryonix variety) in your shipment because most beginners don't know what the difference between the two and what is the correct type of worms they are purchasing.
I always thought I knew quite a bit about worms. Well, I was sure wrong :). Epic video!
I noticed every time i lifted a brick there were a bunch of worms under tt so i started putting bricks spread around in the garden. I think it helps in a lot of ways.
Couple days ago bought a pound of red wrigglers from a local worm farm for my 10 new organic raised beds. Nematodes are next on my list.
I volunteer in a community garden with 5 raised beds , only one bed has worms !!!! Why aren't there worms in the other 4 beds !!!!????
That is SO great!!! What a GENIUS idea! I would LOVE a more in depth look at this product! Where did you get your worms from that are in your bag?! The worm tea you mentioned that brewed itself, do you just pour it on your garden as if you are "watering" it? This is SO AWESOME! I come from ancestral farmers and gardeners and I have had (what I called) brown hands my entire life pretty much, until this spring, with many thanks to my husband's encouragement and help. :) [I say brown hands because I could kill a pot of dirt lol] I LOVE your channel! I am so glad it popped up in my suggestions!! Need to binge all!
I got my worms from Steve as well!
Ok ordered 200 worm for my raised beds
All the best to you with those wormies.
Definitely one of the more epic videos recently, and you've been on a roll! I think an in-depth video on the urban worm bag would be useful. I would also love to see a general pruning video for berries and fruiting trees (which I realize is not a luxury of many urban gardeners)
I live in Colorado my soil is awful. I want to add worms to my small garden. Any ideas on how to get star would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
I'm with Candace Chan on this, I'd also like to see a video on the worm through.
I've tried various versions, but never this style.
You bet
I’m wondering how large commercial soybean and corn farms affect the worm populations.
The birds were singing along with the intro music :)
Jammin'
Yes and it's so relaxing.
I have a terrible slug problem, so adding mulch or leaving plants to decompose concerns me...any input?
Thank you for this video! I would love to see a video on the worm bags.
Ever since we moved into this house 33 years ago, every time I went fishing I would "plant" my left over purchased worms in my various gardens simply by digging a small hole and dumping the container upside down. I would come out in about an hour and remove the container and cover that spot gently with dirt, no stomping it down now! I have lots of earthworms and nightcrawlers now that I could harvest for my fishing but I still buy the container ones and let my garden worms do their work.
@@rice83101 Tell me more...I was looking for red wigglers cuz that's what was recommended for composting (as opposed to earthworms, which I have in my garden) but couldn't find any locally,and the idea of getting the through the mail just seemed kinda weird to me...
I love to do this or compose to use the kitchen scraps, but we have so much 🐜 in our backyard in summer here in San Diego
I’m not a Darwin fan. But I love earthworms
What did Darwin do? He was only a scientist who published revolutionary works.
My sentiments exactly.
@@Michael-zn2jc While Darwin was an intelligent man, he fell into the trappings of his time. At one point tried to theorize that white people were more evolved than black people and as such had more of a capacity for intellect.
Michael Hidalgo Didn’t mean to upset you. His theory of evolution is full of holes.
Awesome video thank you! New sub here love your channel! Was wondering if you have any odor or rodent problems with this worm system?
Worms freak me out 😂 and I'm apartment gardener and I not going put worms bye hand in soil
Hahaha no need!
The more you have to deal with them the more likely it is that you get used to them over time if you have to. Just remember you are the bigger boss.
Excellent video...thank you for sharing this (;
when I started my raised bed my soil had no worms so I went out and bought several bait worms and they grew from there now I have plenty of worms in my garden..
I did exactly the same!! Was cheap and easy
That's the way to do it!
My parents live on a giant clay mound. Everything is clay and the soil situation sucks. So we're composting as much as we can so we can till it into our garden beds for next year and hopefully get a decent garden. But we can't find many worms around. A friend of mine likes to come over and let his daughters swim in my parents pool. The price of admission? A container of worms. He gladly pays. :p
Yes, I would love to see more about the worm bag! So interesting!
$120 for a worm composting kit? No thanks, I build my own for under $20
Nothing wrong with that bro - I've done similar!
I have been adding coffee grounds to the top of my garden soil, does that sound beneficial to you?
You got it! They love coffee grounds!
Towards the end of your video noticed the hose reel and water valves on your wall...wondering what kind of hose reel that is and if u have ever shown that watering set up on any of your vids? Thx
I'm actually replacing that soon for a video!
Hi, Im here over in Australia. Sending huge support. Love what you do on this channel. Im an urban planner, always think of green space can attach to our urban life. Love to see you keep growing this channel and share more epic knowledge of gardening.
Darwin was wrong on many things, but he only admitted it when he was close to death. But those who think evolution and not creation was the way to go, decided to never publish his latest confessions, where he began to study the Bible and realised God had indeed created everything.
It amazes me someone with an knowledge of worms and how plants communicate with soil and bacteria to provide a equilibrium between all parties can believe in anything other than creation and God design in the garden and forest is one of the most amazing and easy ways to understand we were created and not by the Big Bang or evolution
I appreciate your perspective
ozz mann . I agree. Some believe that the simplest of inanimate things have designers, but that the complex beautiful universe we live in, with all of it’s variety and the way everything works in harmony, had no Designer but came about by chance! So sad and very illogical.
Does a designer have a designer?
Your earth worm system looks great but it is too big for a tiny balcony of an apartment. It is the depth that counts yes? If it is scaled down in width but maintain the depth it should still work?
I wanted to see you harvest the castings.
I have a video on my IG about it!
I have a large garden area and am working it for the second year. I have never seen a worm anywhere in my garden. Should I attempt to get worms???
You could!
Worms have the tendency to show up out of nowhere if there's plenty of organic matter for them to eat. Otherwise you may need to introduce some worms to the garden and with the right conditions they will increase in numbers and improve your soil.
i have psychic earthworms in my garden.....whenever i'm digging to plant a new plant....they are there waiting for me. like they have a death wish....
like 2 months ago i prepared two large pots with good soil, and i wanted at least one earthworm on each.....i had to dig all over the garden to find two earthworms....
the good thing is that i also buried some dried leaves and other organic matter, so the worms would have food....and some time later i moved the soil from one of the pots....and i notice there wasnt an earthworm.....there was a BUNCH of them, so the original one thrived and reproduced.....int he new planter where i added that soil i also added more organic matter, ranging from soft, rotting leaves to nut shells, so they will have food for a long long time....
HAHAHA I know this feeling, trust me
Can you add fishing worms, store bought worms. Will they take to my garden ?
has anyone ever told you that you look like the Scott Brothers from the renovation show Property Brothers
Only all the time hahaha
So true. Voice is also similar
Just a little correction for you. Worm tea is aerated what you called worm tea is actually leache. (Sp?)
God is REAL.
Darwin was WRONG!!!
Everything did NOT come from nothing!
Hi Eric, I’m in San Diego can you tell me best place to buy worms for the bag?
Not loving the new “cultivate the like button and I’ll bless you” stuff.
Bro, it's kinda cheesy, but way better than the hyper aggressive "SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON, OBLITERATE THAT BELL AND CRUSH THE SUBSCRIBE LINK BELOW THIS VIDEO!" that other channels do. Our helpful dude Kevin is just out here playing the TH-cam game and adding his own flair to it.
Trust me, it's kinda corny, but asking is the only way to make people actually do it, and the level of help it gives the channel is actually insane. If you have any suggestions of more entertaining ways to do it, I'm all ears
@@epicgardening Totally, like I said it's just the game that has to be played on here. I appreciate that you've added your own flair as opposed to the over the top, high energy, exhausting, played out spiel that so many other give. I liked Philip DeFranco's spin where he threatened to punch people in the throat if they didn't, but that doesn't exactly work with the tone of your videos.
Disclaimer: I'm so not an expert.
I thought it was funny. YMMV
I love it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My coworker would say “10 Indian blessings for your help, thanks” and that shit cracks me up.
I've heard conflicting information about composting dog poop because it contains trace amounts of deworming medicine, which is super bad for our little friends. Anybody done a deep dive on this topic?
God’s creation is amazing!! And interesting to know they haven’t changed or evolved since Darwin’s day lol
This may be a dumb question... if the worms continually reproduce will you reach a point where you will need to transfer them to a bigger bin or to a second bin?
In his later years Darwin did soften in his attitude toward Christianity. He even allowed a local church to hold their meetings on his property, and asked that his bedroom windows be opened so he could hear the hymns being sung. A Christian can only hope that the seeds planted earlier took root at the end, and that he did place his faith in Christ before he died.
Thank You Kevin for your valuable videos and tips! (didn't know there were different worm types for different layers! ;)
"Worm" is actually an honorable name in many Native American First Nations, given to someone usually later in life! Crazy Horse's father got the name "Worm" after giving his name to his son (Thasunka Witco aka CrazyHorse)... =D
I was layering my new grow beds this morning (I don't dig either) and when I was putting compost layer from my compost pile made with straw (which I do not turn, it's five years old), I discovered huge nests of worms about six inches down! I had no idea there were so many in there!
Hope I did right to put some directly in my beds along with the compost, then other layers of manure, mulch and organic soil on top ! ?
Yeah, Darwin was a masterful writer of fiction, but God, the masterful CREATOR of all that is, wrote the TRUTH!
Learn the truth...pick up a Bible and read His Word.
Worms can solve all world hunger issues. If you ever run out of fertilizer go collect the little piles of worm poop in your yard and top dress, its good for any plant. Best all purpose fertilizer by far.
Charles Darwin didnt do us any favors w "the 'THEORY' of evolution" ... Maybe the worm book was more of a benefit to the human race!
????
Living in Florida with mostly bunk sand we don't come across loads of worms naturally, so I started a 75 gallon compost bin and bought 10 or 15 buckets of big reds they've been living and reproducing in there and I've been able to harvest out about a dozen into my potted plants in just the last three months or so.
very interesting video thanks for the info i will apply it to my garden😊
Does vermiculture, and more specifically that bag smell at all? Contemplating getting one but don't want to make my backyard smell nasty like compost has for me before.
I have a rapidly expanding worm population in my bin. Would you suggest I release those from the bin rather than going out to buy new worms? Thanks for the videos.
I have one of the worm bag many years ago. I don't think your friend invented it. It's been around for along time. Mine is called Worm inn.
Right, he invented the one I have ;)
