  • Each chamber was filled with a different type of bedding material: Chamber #1 had leaves, #2 had cardboard, and #3 had paper. Then in went the red wiggler composting worms. Periodically water and grit (pulverized eggshell) were added. Also, as needed, additional material was loaded in when the levels dropped low. ENJOY!
    The original build of the container and camera rig can be seen here: • 2-Year Vermi- annivers...

      I believe it is healthy to mix. Adding a bit of everything. Then turn it over. But, if your goal is to compost. You don't want bins in the first place. You want net cages or similar that can bring in a lot of oxygen to the soil. You want the bacteria to work more than the worms. Because bacteria process the material far faster and more effectively.

      @@Helveteshit I'm not new to composting or worm vermicomposting . I think you're missing the point of this video he made. It's to study worm behavior in different types of material. My worms break down material way faster than any compost pile will. In this video he isn't feeding any vegetables and the bins don't have a full population of worms yet. Once they breed an army they can take down a huge amount of material in very little time

This person thought the soil would just be shits and corpses when in reality only a year had went by, therefore it is unlikely that many earthworms died as they usually can live longer.

Cardboard and paper don't have much of those. There's sulfur and nitrogen deficiency. So... mixing cardboard and paper with food scraps is brilliant and red wigglers would love that. Giving them only paper isn't particularly good idea.

    I don't if you added ice purposefully, but it helps in two ways.
    1. It adds necessary moisture to Worms to breakdown food/organic waste.
    2. Heat releases while worms decomposing food. Heat may stack up reaches 50°C or more eventually kills worms at bottom.

    Pretty cool. What would happen if the worms could travel back and forth between the containers. Perhaps cutoff the bottom bit of the dividers
    Is be interested in seeing if the worms had a preference of material

    There is just so many worms. This video is digsusting and satisfying at the same time. :D

    I'm about to redesign and scale up my worm composting set-up, this was surprisingly helpful! It was interesting how much adding the grit near the end of the timelapse speeded up the breakdown for the middle section, which was lagging. I can definitely add crushed eggshells (we have 50 hens). I'm definitely going to have a clear perspex side so I can see what's happening underneath.

    Love your time lapse vids!
    I wonder, can you make 3 chamber time lapse with 1 chamber enc, 1 chamber red wrigglers and a 3rd chamber with no worms. I’m curious to see how natural decomposition goes without the worms.

    • @A-V
      @A-V  3 роки тому +5

      I've been thinking of getting the three chamber container set up for another time-lapse soon. Your suggestion is a good one - I was thinking of a similar setup too. Thanks for watching!
