    Captain Mat, thank you for sharing and teaching us, the younger worm generation. I have been watching, learning and practicing your methods over the last few months and my worm population is thriving!!!! I've just built my 1st bulk bin, my breeder buckets are prepped and I'm very excited. I still have a way to go but I'm super excited and without your channel I probably would not have had such good progress or enthusiasm. So, all the way from South Africa, thank you sir!! 🇿🇦 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

    This is a big help. We are just getting started. This is such an important skill set to learn because the food we eat from the stores has lost the nutrients because of chemical fertilizer and pesticides that kill all the living organisms and enzymes we need to grow healthy food.
    With the coming food shortage, every family needs to learn to grow healthy foods indoors hydroponics. We make a tea from the castings and feed the plants. Kratky is a way to grow hydroponics without electricity. They will start rationing electric like they do now in Puertorico. Their goal is to reduce the world population by 50% by 2025. So we all need to take responsibility and feed our families and help others as you are doing. Thnx friend, God bless. Proverbs 10:22, Deuteronomy 8:18 and 3 John 1:2…prosper and be in health…

I'm probably somewhere around where Cap was at when he did it for his own use which I do for my garden. I'm small time and don't have the equipment that Cap has but with 2 to 3 bins going, I really don't want to invest in equipment. What I do want is a great garden. Last season I produced 30 gallons give or take and this coming season I would like to double that or better. You can never have enough casting.

    I just picked up your channel and learned so much just watching this one episode. I had European Crawlers but winter in the garaged doesn't do them any good. I'm in Pennsylvania and they freeze out. Any suggestions?
    I like the sifter. Where did you get this and what is the approximate cost? Thanks

    Thank you! Love the real time production. Did you build the sifter?

    You are amazing!!! Do you sell castings and soil? I started my own compost pile/ warm farm because of you!!

      So cool to hear, Chris! Right now, I only sell castings locally in the Albany, NY area.
