*My Journey after watching this video* 😀This was my first video of Vermicomposting which sparked my interest in this amazing work of God. A big Thanks to David. 2 years have passed and now I am on the way to start a small worm farm of 10'x4'x1' in a small space on a plot Alhamdulillah. After watching this video, I decided to start in a small shallow milk crate. Initially I found it very difficult to find those worms in my city. I would like to add that there are around 4500 species of earthworms. Eisenia Fetida is one of them which is found to be the most effective in the temperature range of 0°C-45°C. Other Composting worms include Eisenia Andrei, African Night Crawlers(ANCs), European Night Crawlers(ENCs), Perionyx Excavatus(aka Indian Blues found in the Himalayas), Lampito Marutii(found in Tamil Nadu). Finally I found them online for ₹350/kg which had around 250 worms. Now they have multiplied to become 1000+. I have started another crate as well. Vermicomposting has become a big business in a India. People have large farms of beds ranging from 30' to 80' in length and 4' wide. Vermicompost is harvested every 60-80 days and the worms double during this period. So the price of worms has come down if ordered in bulk ranging from ₹300/kg to as low as ₹75/kg with every kg having 1000-1200 worms. So just start your composting journey. Its a rewarding experience. You just need a small bin. Just make sure that there are enough holes for aeration and make sure the bin is moist enough. Happy composting 🎉
Vermiculture opens the doors to growing your own food, and that is an important goal all humans should aspire to. I grow 7 foot tall roma plants every year with nothing but worm castings and aerated tea I make with wormcastings. You can grow in a driveway with aerated worm castings tea and whole worm castings.
I had a worm farm from Australia which I cultivated for years...had to move several times so gave it up...I put all organic waste into the top layer, including paper and excluding only meat, bones and egg shells. They love bread, old tortillas, all vegetable matter, coffee grounds, basically anything cellulose. I started with a grande size cup about a third full of red wigglers I bought for real cheap at a local nursery...within two months I must have had thousands of the critters which I tossed injto my house plants, out in the yard and in the garden...I kept them real packed with food they loved, particularly the whole wheat tortillas and bread, office paper, fruit skins and also banana peels which within a week they would totally consume and just under the surface of their castings would be fist size pods of wigglers...totally amazing. They reproduce faster than the proverbial rabbit...also the 'worm tea' went far in the garden and on the house plants...fun hobby.
When I started the thing, the person who raised the wigglers to sell at the nursery said she did not put meat type waste into her worm stock, so I didn't do that...they thrive like you won't believe...and they LOVE coffee grounds!
per egg shells, when I liquified the castings for spreading on the lawn, in the garden, all over really, the egg shells never got digested and always clogged up the screen I used to strain with...so I stopped on the egg shells, as my particular wigglers just did not digest them.
I raised worms in the tropics and had to use blue worms because of the heat. I did a lot of experiments on maximizing biology populations in the compost bin and found that my populations peaked at 90 days and slowly reduced daily after. Now that I live in a temperate zone and keep red wigglers in my basement. I keep 3 large bins and use several amendments for the best worm castings possible. Azomite, Basalt and soft Rock Phosphate for grit and minerals. Also a buffet of nutrients including: Neem meal, Alfalfa meal, Kelp meal, and Crab meal. I use eggshells and oyster flower for grit and to buffer the PH. Something very soothing about keeping worms and running your hands thru the worm bin.
I just bury it ll in the garden. Any place vacant of a plant. Plus throw all lawn clippings, hedge trimmings on top for mulch. Works great. Soil improves every year.
PuddingCat101 Why are you wasting so much food? Any bucket will do for a worm bin. One third of food produced is wasted and that would go along way to feeding the starving. Stop and think of the cost to the planet before you randomly buy food :)
That's good to hear. A worm bin will take care of the pineapple skin. I only eat certified organic fruit and veg (I grow most of it in pots) so I eat most skins and rarely peel anything :)
I live in Nevada at 5800 feet, dry high desert...I started my composter with food waste and some soil...I have thousands of worms no purchase necessary.
I make my neighbor give me all her food waste and I already got a lot of worms in my compost pile. The worms also process humanure which is an important step to saving a lot of water by not flushing drinking water down the toilet
Start the farm and start growing food. When they see the benefits they will get on the band wagon so to speak. You can also plant many tree with vermicompost which in turn creates rain and cools the weather. Research edible food forests and permaculture

I should have been doing this years ago. I love growing and composting.

Will adding meat as well mess that up?

Meat and fish are difficult for the worms to digest. So are dairy products, except eggshells (crushed, of course), which are perfectly fine.
per egg shells, when I liquified the castings for spreading on the lawn, in the garden, all over really, the egg shells never got digested and always clogged up the screen I used to strain with...so I stopped on the egg shells, as my particular wigglers just did not digest them.
Yes
I have one of these boxes at home and really love it! There is no smell and I enjoy feeding my new pets very much
I have always had plenty of red wiggler worms in the compost heap so why build a worm bin?
@@magicsupamoggie good point. Where I live my growing season is like 2-3 months. Unable to have active compost piles year round
I raised worms in the tropics and had to use blue worms because of the heat. I did a lot of experiments on maximizing biology populations in the compost bin and found that my populations peaked at 90 days and slowly reduced daily after.

Don't forget the insect frass!
Got my wormbox today. LOVE IT
I have a Humanure system at my vacation home.
Love the system.
I just bury it ll in the garden. Any place vacant of a plant. Plus throw all lawn clippings, hedge trimmings on top for mulch. Works great. Soil improves every year.
Thank you for this inspiring talk,I share in your dream and started some activities in my peri urban home in Kenya.
I am really impressed! So inspiring...
I want to try this in my home, I have so much organic food waste and no space for a big compost bin so I can't wait to get a worm box!
PuddingCat101 Why are you wasting so much food? Any bucket will do for a worm bin. One third of food produced is wasted and that would go along way to feeding the starving. Stop and think of the cost to the planet before you randomly buy food :)
oh it's peelings and inedible bits, like the outside of pineapples and stuff. I only buy the food I need :)
That's good to hear. A worm bin will take care of the pineapple skin. I only eat certified organic fruit and veg (I grow most of it in pots) so I eat most skins and rarely peel anything :)
When we move into our new home we will immediately begin raising words and making compost here in Texas!
I live in Nevada at 5800 feet, dry high desert...I started my composter with food waste and some soil...I have thousands of worms no purchase necessary.
amazing!!! thank you
Yup, definitely will build a box for my future pets :)
Soooo nice :)
great work !!
I make my neighbor give me all her food waste and I already got a lot of worms in my compost pile. The worms also process humanure which is an important step to saving a lot of water by not flushing drinking water down the toilet
Where can you order the large green worm bin that was shown in the video?
nessay720 Uncle Jim's Worm farm.
I will have more than one. 🙏❤️👍👏
WOW !!
Nice clip. We should all do it. For the sake of this planet 🌎
You save money on waste pick up as well.
i was just watching the clarence episode were jeff's mom gets a worm bin
can somebody reccomend anycliterature or channel about vermicomposting.
if you speak german, there is a channel called "superwurmtv"
Konstantin Shegin The blog by nickykylegardening has a great section on keeping and caring for a worm bin :)
But will they eat the wooden box?
Yes. They have powerful beaks AND rows of shark teeth.
and rocket launchers
Pewdiepie is absolutely right
like it
This speaker is cute!
I do hope that isn't all you thought when you saw this...
i expected him to tell me to shit into my garden or something but this is pretty interesting
He said Vienna and I was life tf does Rihanna have to do with composting
Oh

I am Ahmad from Egypt. I want to show in work to establish a farm to produce compost by worms and we have no experience in Egypt.
Start the farm and start growing food. When they see the benefits they will get on the band wagon so to speak. You can also plant many tree with vermicompost which in turn creates rain and cools the weather. Research edible food forests and permaculture
you NEED animals for good soil...
very nice! ill try this idea but on superworms that i use to feed my pet fishes.
They have to be compost worms. You cant just use any worm. Alsenia Foetida is the breed you want.
Wowwww

ted stage is getting small
Aaaaa
I never thought Ted Talks would be so low to use clickbait. The picture looked like pewdiepie. I thought hed finally deleted his channel.
