My mom taught me how to cook. I love to cook. Unfortunately, now that im disabled there are days i cant cook. I have adapted by making and portion and freeze for those days . Siezures are heck on plans and cooking. My garden is messy (a wild mix of flowers and veggies). I have neighbors ask how mt garden is SO FULL yet so productive. Lol. Worm castings of course! I also thin rather agressively at times and my worms love the extras...
❤Thank you!! I'm so lucky and blessed to have come across ur channel!! Quick question: on the water that you spray ..is it just mosquito dunks in water 💧? I have a gnat problem and I've just started 😭😭😭
Good morning, Vee, from Windermere, Florida 9b 🇺🇸 I love your storytelling. ❤ I'm pushing myself to keep 6 worm systems going. It's getting so hot here that I am avoiding harvesting. Of course, I'm still feeding and giving a molasses squirk❤❤ Have a great week ❤Peggy❤
I hate the heat myself. I love winter. If you’re avoiding harvesting, I have a tip for you. Anytime you feed them food scraps give them a little handful of some kind of shredded newspaper or box moistened. It’ll keep the system balance.
Alfafa pellet. I precompost the bedding in 15 gal bins. It shortens the completion time significantly less. The big bins keep can sit for weeks as long as you stir every 3 days or so. But alfafa definely needs several days to get past the heating stage. The problem is if you watch the episode you put a ton in so it went anerobic and stunk. If you use about 1/2 cup to each gallon of bedding you make and stir every other day until it passes the heating stage. Love and virtual hugs, mike.
When I make my worm chow, sometimes the wheat I add will sprout. Because the castings are so fertile I just pulled them up and lay them back down and it just creates extra food for the Worms.
Can not find your watering device or where you listed it on Amazon. Please repost it here. Thank you. Very aggravated with my 2 gallon pump can. Thanks.

First time this has happened I used bait traps twice to remove the worms then I went through the bedding by sifting the bedding after separating the bedding from the castings I went through the casting and remove the remaining worms I put the casting in a tote to store for the winter I took another lid and put some air holes to get some ventilation upon switching lids there must have been 1-200 worm all trying to escape the castings I am going on my second year at raising worms have no idea what happened I would appreciate anyone who can shed some light on this Sorry to have to post this here but i am he worst went it comes to computer knowledge thanks Lou
When they have no oxygen in a container that is sealed, they’ll all come up and try to get out. I have also done this and cocoons hatch and then they all start coming up.
How many worms do you keep in a bin? I'm trying to figure out if mine are too crowded. I know you don't count. It it one handful, two or more?? (Ok, so later in the video, I see one handful) Oh yeah, I need to know what to do with the leaves.
For the breeder bins it’s anywhere from a quarter pound to half a pound. Are usually go by the size of the bin. Yes, when the leaves start falling here, you will see the process. The darkest castings I’ve ever gotten was when I have fed leaves.
I get the transition from hatchlings to grow out but it looks like you’re moving entire content from one identical bin to another. Why not move the original bin to the other wall. Use a clean bin to add more cocoons to hatch the next round. It just seems like an extra step.
Because I only have the heat mats on one wall. And the bins fit a certain way on one wall I supposed to the other plus as I sell it rotates all the bins for me. I have to move the entire continent to make more room for the new ones coming up. That’s always the problem is not enough space. The bins are different sizes. I’m a little ocd about it. They need to match 🤣
The little small white worms are pot Worms. They are harmless and they come with humid environment. I also noticed them when I feed manure. If you don’t like them when you see them just dry your bin out a little bit and they disappear.

Fantastically informative and helpful for a novice farmer ... but already expanding and inventing 'farms' ...thank you from Oz
You’re very welcome ☺️ the worm world is a fascinating one
Great Video! The worms are also pets of a type lol
That's right Vee leafs as bedding when decomposed gives a nice earthy smell. Luv it.
Great attitude to just deal with any issues, learn from them and move on.
That's a lot of worm babies to divide up!

@The Garden And Worm Lady absolutely..and a sprinkle of eggshells.
Thanks Vee💕

You are absolutely right. That stuff needs to pre-compost first
She takes worm farm to a whole nother level. I'm guessing that she went from cats to worms.
Nope😅 🦎 iguanas to Worms 🪱 🤣
What are the plants growing in the beds?
When I make my worm chow, sometimes the wheat I add will sprout. Because the castings are so fertile I just pulled them up and lay them back down and it just creates extra food for the Worms.
Why did you devide the breeders?
It's more work or....do they breed more with half of the group?
It is more work, but they breed better when they are divided. I have tested this with all worms.
Where do you get your gray bins from
Are usually get them at Sam’s Club. They are called bus bins, but they also have them on Amazon.
That is definately a huge wormball
Where did you get your sprayer?

I wanted to pop back in and tell you that there are real concrete worms like you have on your home page. Have you ever seen them?
What do you mean concrete?
@@TheGardenAndWormLady they have cement worms that snake up and down then peep out of the ground.
@@PlantObsessed no idea 🤷🏽♀️

I accidentally gave my worms black walnut chips. This was a fatal mistake . Be careful when you use woodchips.

If you add cinnamon to your chow mix chick you will see a big difference in your tubs. 😅
