I agree with you of maintaining high moisture content, for higher production, and very healthy stout adult worms..I enjoy your content and look forward to your posts, Thanks a Bunch, Phil
Very interesting study you did here. Your worms and castings look awesome! Thanks for pointing out that more moisture is what you want for worm production. I've not been so hands on with my worms over the last year but I'm getting back in the swing of things. So I appreciate you sharing this and the little but big details like that. And how interesting that the more dense population was most productive. Thanks for sharing! 🙋♀💜
This experiment really shows the importance of moisture on breeding, Samantha. I think the research I reviewed said 85-90% was optimum breeding moisture, which is a level most of us home worm farmers don't achieve. ~ Sandra
Thanks for the content, that wet, 500 count was amazing. I run about 500 per bin but not that wet as I can just start to smell a bit of funk. Do those wet bins have any odor?
Interesting experiment, especially if you need to produce a lot of worms for sale. I just raise worms for castings for the garden. I find the majority of cocoons in the bottom 1/3rd of my outside 50 gal grow bag bins. The top 2/3rd stays moist, but the bottoms hold a lot more moisture. Enjoy your videos! Stay Well!!!!
Would love to know your moisture level if possible. I’m drying out right now to harvest this week but I love the experiment you did. Can’t wait for the heat to go away!!
Sure. I put enough water so that when i raise one end just slightly higher and let sit for 24 hrs. I push the material to one end so that the excess moisture travels down to the other end. I come back and sponge out the excess moisture. Really wet but not standing
Hey Meme thanks for the video. Just curious, do you keep the lights on in your farm 24/7 to keep the worms below the surface or does the plastic/cardboard on each bin help prevent that?
I like this experiment. The best my Worm bin has ever performed was when the bin had lots of moisture and space.

I think your right Sandra. A wrung out sponge is not enough for breeding.
thanks ❤

They dont if i pre compost. But if i add raw food they can have some smell sometimes.

Your worms are breeding really good so far they sure like the moisture 🇳🇿❤️🙏🏼
Yes moisture is the key!

No once they get settled in you dont have to have on the light.
Hello! Very interesting. Did I miss the square footage of each bin?
These b8ns arw 15x22inches
@@MemesWorms Thank you!
Very interesting! I think I'm going to lower the worm count in my production bins!😊
Its alwsys best to do trails so you get the best production for the size bin you have. Good luck!!
Hoe deep do you keep your bins?
should i add insect BTI to my worn bin to prevent other insects
You can but you have to remeber a worm bin is a ecosystem. It does better when all insects work together.
@@MemesWorms is there a better way to prevent insects like mosquitoes and ants and keep the good insects ?
@@neel1173 misquito dunk for misquitos and more moisture for ants
How many pounds of worms did you end up with in them dumpster bags i am thinking about getting 3 of them just trying to find out if its worth it
They worked geat for castings but dried out too fast for worm production. Would need some automated watering system.
Thanks for the video. Are these European nightcrawlers, OR red wigglers?
Red wigglers
@MemesWorms thanks! If it's european nightcrawlers, how many worms would you recommend for the same breeder bin size?
Please step up your video quality.
Sorry was in a building with tin everything. Don't know how to do any better thanks for watching!
Do you pay them for their content or just complain?
