    Just get a worm bin...4 x 8 or 4 x 4 with bottom and wood lid.. worms love composted horse manure.. composted vegerable leftovers.. carrot apple peelings.. in particular from a juicer. Water.. best use worms directly into garden and their castings...worms in bin double in numbers every 60 days during warm months...I had worm farm early 1970's...

    All the other worm youtubers say you can use leachate(the worm water that runs through the bin) because it's full of bad bacteria. You say you use it on your citrus trees and they thrive. I've always wondered why it would be bad because you are putting rotting veges in anyway so why would the water be bad?

    I’ve had a worm bin for probably 15 years. My castings seem kind of sticky/pasty, and when dried, resemble papier-mâché. Is that what you get?

    • @Alisorganics
      @Alisorganics  3 місяці тому

      Yes, It is sticky until they dry out. Then they can be fluffed. They can be used wet though.

    Is the weight to volume ratio of worm castings to garden mix using fresh worm castings or those bought packaged from the hardware store?

    • @Alisorganics
      @Alisorganics  Рік тому +1

      That would be a dried worm casting weight bagged or your own that has been air dried. Wet is always more dense as well.
