extremely thankful for your efforts in making this and ongoing clips , Keep this good shit up !!!! Laterally lmaoooo pardon my English I just found it fitting in this application thank you again!!!!!
Thank you for talking about the cocoons, I never thought about it until I came across your videos. I was going to start out with 30 lbs of African night crawlers for $1000.00 . I ordered 4000 cocoons and they came in today. They are all set in their bins now,and It's just a waiting game. I'm so thankful to you. I"m starting the new hobby of worm farming in my garage as well.
@@georgemastrovasilis5079 that is awesome! That’s what it’s all about is just educating each other and helping each other be as successful as we can be. Did you buy African nightcrawler cocoons?
@@ericburge9198 I actually bake my compost for a short period and will be doing a video on that shortly. It’s a tradeoff because it also kills the existing microbes so inoculating your bin with castings or other living material is important for the best start to your bin. Hope that helps and thank you for the support!
@@utahwormcompany I put mine in a 5 gallon buck with holes in the bottom then stuck it in a larger bucket full of rain water. That killed any living thing and now I've emptied the bucket on a plastic tarp to dry out a bit.
It blew my mind learning the other day that we are actually going through a world wide decline and shortage of worms and just like bees and frogs this is very much not good news and once these key things go completely outa wack we are in some serious trouble and I fear we are already beyond irreparable the most
@@zgoat4127 One step at a time we can all make a difference! That’s why I created the logo that I did. Let us know if we can help you get started with Worms, you will absolutely love it, and you will be doing something amazing for the environment and for your your own gardening. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions whether you get worms from us or not, we love teaching!
@@brookeonyx6271 Hi there and thanks for the question! Yes we have the standard Canadian Dew Worms (Lumbricus Terrestris) and it is something to be aware of. However, they will not survive in the environment I raise my other breeds in, definitely too warm. So for me I have never had an issue. I know some people will microwave their compost to get rid of any unwanted organisms or eggs from other insects, for me that’s too time consuming and I like keeping any microbes alive for my worms bedding - the more composters in the bin the better. Great question!

Great video 🇳🇿❤️🪱
@@dnawormcastings Thanks so much for the kind words! Hope it inspires everyone to become worm people!
How do you avoid other pests from the wood chips? I have an old pile but its loaded with insects and other things

@@ericburge9198 Thats a great idea! How long did you leave it for?
@@utahwormcompany About 10 mins. I think 15 to 20 would be better but I lack the patience when I'm in go mode.
@@ericburge9198 Hahaha I feel ya! Time is the biggest challenge and most valuable hahaha

Where did you buy the cocoons?
@@michaelbessette8685 I bought them from Samantha Flowers (Memes Worms) and she has someone drop ship on the West Coast :)
Out of curiosity I was wondering it you have any local worms in your wood mulch pile. That’s why I haven’t used what we have in my bins.
