Experiment of vermicompost. You can understand how earthworms and microorganisms decompose garbage. Vermicompost can not only decompose garbage ecologically but also create natural fertilizer.
And they think their daughters are being girly and doing good things with their life, but they are sitting right beside the boys, watching a video of worms eating a banana
If he were to cut the banana in half length wise they might have finished it off in half the time. The waxy cover on the banana kept it from breaking down. I always cut fruit and veggies up to speed up the decay process by exposing the softer fleshy parts
exactly your are right. it is important to cut to speed up decay process, acutally worms don't eat "Banana" they eat micro animals which are on the surface of decay bananas.
@@naturetrip I believe worms excrete enzymes, the enzymes break down organic matter into food the worms can ingest. Along with working in tandem with the microbiology.
Great Video...Cool to see the worms in action! I puree most everything I feed my worms now, The more it is broken down, the faster they consume! I have millions of worms that I raise for fertilizer for my garden and to teach others how to care for them :) Watermelon is another one they go crazy for!
WOW. Its amazing to see all the micro organisms at work in quality compost. Worms were definitely not alone at work here, simply amazing how nature works
Thank you for comment. Exactly you are right. Compost is not only worms activity. so many kinds of micro organisms making compost, it is like human intestinal environment haha
My wife and I decided to try worm composting when our state passed mandatory composting laws. Instead of putting it in the yard waste bin we decided to try to get the great fertilizer for our gardening attempts. We use a subpod (not advertising for that here) and started with 2k worms and I have been honestly amazed how much they have eaten through.....rinds of 4 large watermelons, countless bananna peels. Once I shucked 10 ears of corn and put the husks in and it took a bit but its all gone. The amount of shreadded paper we've used to provide bedding.....its absolutely amazing how much they go through and how much volume they reduce it to after castings are produced. I'm nowhere near filling either side of it with castings but I'v put at least 10 times worth of food and paper volume wise through there.
Wow that's amazing! I been seriously considering getting the mini subpod, but one thing I'm hesitating on is my extreme fear of worms, so seeing 2k worms in one spot, I might just die😢 although I love gardening and have a tiny bin that I use for composting, I have thrown some garden worms in there and they have bred, it's always my nightmare opening it, but have gotten so much worm castings as I truly just open it every fer months, I try to bury our food wastes instead 😅
why Potassium is important in plants: - Potassium regulates the opening and closing of stomata thus regulating the uptake of CO2 thus enhancing photosynthesis. - It triggers activation of important biochemical enzymes for the generation of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP provides energy for other chemical and physiological processes such as excretion of waste materials in plants. - It plays a role in osmoregulation of water and other salts in plant tissues and cells. - Potassium also facilitates protein and starch synthesis in plants. - It activates enzymes responsible for specific functions.
Me at the beginning: "Fortunately the time lapse means we don't have to actually SEE the worms" At the end: OH DEAR GOD I THOUGHT I WOULDN'T HAVE TO SEE WORMS
Another type of food the worms love is pumpkin , if you got a spare pumpkin or an old one or got to many , put some quarter cuts or half cut pumpkin in the freezer for a day or 2 , freezing it makes it go soggy and very soft , after take it out leave it to room temperature and then put it in your worm farm with the skin side facing up , the worms really love pumpkin like they did the banana. 👍
@@naturetrip love to hear how it goes for you , or put it in one of your videos , worms ball up in clumps under the pumpkin here I have red riggers and they love it . Best of luck with your worms , so much fun. 👍
Absolutely loved this video, so educational Maybe for us who are not as aware, a comment on what was eating the banana and thus what the worms were eating would have been good. But I did find out through reading the comments. Thank you for doing the video on a full just ripe banana for your experiment.
Great video!!! Thanks a lot, very informative! I just started a worm bin with 250 worms. Got them out of the big compost pile in the yard so they're not all big but either way thanks for just setting it in there. It's shows how long it would take in nature VS how we can be creative with this knowledge! Well Appreciated! 😁
thank you for comment! I'm happy to hear you start worm compost!! yes, it takes long time but if environment is good, worm population rapidly grow up so you can enjoy powerful decomposting👍
That's it I'm going to start me my own worm garden to make my own worm castings for my plants that is just too cool to see in time lapse thank you for sharing!
@@naturetrip I got to do some building and research but I will try to. I would like to do a grow channel. From veggies to house plants to cannabis where my love of gardening started.
Worms are simply amazing!!! Thanks for sharing this! My wife and I are on our way outside right now to build a new compost bin. Our chickens are crap factories, and there is simply nothing better for our gardens and flower beds than "seasoned" chicken manure from the compost pile!!
Our family raised hybrid red stripers. All rabbit ranches have them under the cages because rabbits don’t 100% digest pellets. There were sprinklers under the cages. In worm beds, we covered w/ hay for shade & turned the soil once a week. Each worm can have 23 babies, so 46 per coupling. They shed castings in the soil which is 100% protein. If worms are in a ball, they’ll start secreting a clear foam (similar to snails) & they can die from this.
May just be that I have a bigger bin but I’ve got maybe 100 - 200 worms or less. they make a grocery bag of fan leaves coffee grounds and four water melon rinds disappear in 2 weeks. Just added 1 week ago; 4 more rinds, a handful of cilantro, 6 biscuits, some strawberries, and 3 apple cores plus a cup of dead night crawlers I bought like a dummy. 1 week later and the only thing lmk there is the rinds and the cilantro that I spread across the top of the soil.
Dang...when he opened up that nanner with the spoon it looked just like the images from my last prostate exam. Good to know I house a happy eco system!
I added a huge piece of watermelon to my worm farm one day and when I checked it the next day it was completely covered in worms. When I went to show a friend the following day the red fruit part was completely gone. This might be a great experiment to do with time lapse.
Great time laps, thanks for posting. My worms are happy campers and invited their family & friends. I started with 1 big plastic garbage can and added holes, now I have 3. Do you also give them a worm chow? I've watched others that raise worms and they mentioned it.
@@naturetrip The worm chow I make is probably different because the garbage bins are left outside and are emptied once a year if I have time to get to all of them. I give them kitchen scraps, leftover cooked rice, crushed up egg shells, cornmeal, oatmeal, and coffee grounds. They love sweet fruit, nothing citrus unless really broken down. I add some dirt from the yard into shredded paper, cardboard along with coconut coir. I also add spent flowers and fresh and rotten leaves from the yard. Worms like wood that is rotting as well as super soft pinecones. I found them in my large compost pile years ago that's why I add them to my garbage bins now. Pinecones take forever to break down so unless they are super soft I don't add them, they go in yard waste recycling bin. I did and experiment in one garbage can and added some meat inside a small bucket with a lid to keep Animals out. I put lots of holes on bottom and up 3" on the sides, so worms could come in and out. Then air holes all the way around the side of the container for fresh air. Then I buried it part way in the center so the raccoons couldn't knock it over. It's a mini version of the large can except with some meat added. They eat the meat : ) For a treat I let a banana get super ripe then put in the freezer until it hardens up so I can cut it into 3 pieces, one for each bin. I'm unconventional but it works and my garbage cans are outside. I learn a lot from you and worm farmers, now I know what a cocoon looks like. Love your videos.

It takes much longer because the fruit was fresh. If you added an already blackened banana, they wouldve eaten it faster.
