    Before adding your worms, it is even better if you put a few pieces of food scraps in the brand new bedding. Leave those in there to begin to decompose for about a week, then add your worms. The worms will be most comfortable in the presence of the micro organisms produced by the rotting food.

    I've owned this bag for over a year and I love it! Never had ANY smells escape and collecting castings is super easy. Storage bins are cheap, but moved on to this setup and super happy I did!!!!

    Please do a follow up video, and/or a video where you simply collect the worm castings from both systems so we can see how it works. You already do a great job explaining it, better than the other videos I looked up. But I would really like to see it in action before I dive in myself

    Kevin,
    I thought I'd share my experience with wigglers. About 7 years ago, I raised worms according to instructions on using bins. After about a year of raising them in our crawl space, I decided to just dump them in my compost bin in the back yard here in Pa. To my astonishment, they didn't disappear over the winter, instead, they survived and multiplied like crazy in the middle of the compost heap in one of the coldest winters you could imagine. Now, I just add any kitchen scraps directly to the compost piles all year long, knowing my little buddies, will take care of them, without having to worry about taking care of my buddies.

      You can literally just farm your own worms with some rotten wet wood on the ground. Some people use plywood. A row of short planks works better for me, it's a little easier to handle. Once the wood starts to really deteriorate and they're living in and eating it, you can just put it on top of your compost and they'll just keep reproducing under that wood.

    Rolling bin is what I use no need to separate worms from castings worms are great for the garden. If I want to separate you can use a half watermelon and the worms will go into that and then you can take out the castings. But worms populate in Spring time. So adding to garden is totally ok folks. I don't need to deal with liquid as I don't over water so the compost is really great, the worms are healthy and I have been doing this for 25 years now.

Cut the boards to form an inverted pyramid, and build a frame using some weather treated timber. The insulated boards have a foil backing, and don’t absorb moisture. I reckon one could be DIY built for $50.

All moisten properly and about 5-7 gallons left to cure and activate for 2 weeks which was a week longer than originally planned because it was too hot locally to ship the worms to my address (remember the heat wave in late August?). I have happy worms so far.

    Just so everyone knows: leachate isn't the same thing as worm tea! Leachate comes from decomposing waste, in this case probably food breaking down, and worm tea comes from soaked worm castings. So in a stackable tray set up, you may have tons of leachate in the top tray (which is what the worms are after) and tons of worm tea in the collection tray at the bottom.

    What a perfect video for me to watch! I started 2 years ago with a plastic tray bin and 400 red wigglers. I now have 4 heavily populated bins with probably 4000 worms. I recently purchased an Urban Worm Bag but haven’t set it up yet. I want to build my own frame so it hits higher off the ground to put a 5 gallon bucket underneath. My question is how to move my worms into the bag from the bins. Maybe I have too many to be in one Urban Bag. I would like to eliminate the trays. My thought is to set up the UWB with fresh bedding etc then add the worms from my trays as they are harvested of castings. Any advice is appreciated.

    Hey I bought this based on your video but I just want to let you know please don’t advertise it or at least put some cons. For instance mine was bad materials and the metal bars broke and didn’t fit properly during install. Second the zipper broke. Third the bag was too large it sank to ground so basically I couldn’t even get the bottom to fall down. Ugh I regret buying this plastic pos.

    Couldn't you also break down the coconut coir brick into smaller pieces (e.g., running it through a table saw) so that it will hydrate faster and more evenly?
    Also, where did you order your worms from?

    you say diversity is good for bedding what else that is cost-free would you suggest? dried leaves would be good I guess?

    I have an Urban worm bag system, there is never any liquid , from what I have researched, there should never be any liquid. That would mean your bag is way too wet

    I don't use any bedding in my worm bin, and I only give my worms precooked egg shells that went through my blender and than that's their grit, and than they eat whatever I feed them but only vegan and I'm careful to keep out gmo of possible.

    Aging casting is essential after harvest. you missed it

  • @tobyihli9470
    @tobyihli9470 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I can’t believe you didn’t harvest for us on camera, just for display. Of course I realize that it wouldn’t be ready and that you’d have to put it back in, but so what? For the sake of seeing a full demonstration, I don’t think anyone would mind using a little imagination.

    What’s the difference, Verizon 1 of this now costs $116, version 2 costs $242, a tote system from HD or Lowe’s will cost about $20. That’s the real difference.
