    Great video and gentle way of coaxing out the remaining worms from your harvest 💩👍🪱👍💩

      Thanks for watching Peggy. The wet paperbag is a simple, low effort way to get them back into the bins. 😀

    You have a regular cafe going for the worms. Steve's worm cafe now open. Family owned. Opened for young and old worms and family. Super cool, Steve. Nice feed.

      I left the blended cafe food 😀 sloppy to add some moisture to the dry bedding materials and to draw them in.

    Beautiful looking castings, Steve. Too bad about your camera fail. I've lost several videos to camera boo-boos and it's always disheartening. You're one of the few worm farmers who also feeds leaves to indoor worm bins. Clearly, your worms love it! Happy new year!

      The glitches in life as a UA-camr. 🤣 People worry about bringing bugs into the house along with the leaves. I really haven't had a problem and the only extra's have been Roly Poly bugs. Plus the texture of the castings from leaves are great and totally worth a few pill bugs getting into the bins. Thanks for watching Sandra.

    Nice worm castings. You should set up a roadside stand and sell the castings. I bet you would get a line a block long. Good Stuff. Looks great!

    Nice way to harvest a bin! Castings look terrific!!
    I liked the way you showed how you store your castings. It is pretty important not to let them dry out, keeps the biology, plus any worms or cocoons that hatch out alive.
    Finished making my CFT bin out of a 55 gal drum yesterday. Making fresh bedding and grabbing a bunch of worms out of other bins to get it started. I am making a video about this project, hopefully my friend can retrieve my channel.
    Have not started my onions yet, hopefully tomorrow.
    Have a great day Steve!
    Stay Well!!!!

      55 g will hold a lot of worms! That size bin will keep you well supplied. I got my onions started on Sat and am starting to see the 1st of the seedlings emerge. Thanks for watching Brian.

      @@brianseybert192 I got around 5 inches of wet and heavy snow. With the cold that is coming the next snow should be much lighter but with the probability of it blowing and freezing. Stay warm and hopefully it won't be as bad as they are calling for.

    Hello, don't be tired, can you help me prepare button mushroom compost?

    • @stevefromthegarden1135
      @stevefromthegarden1135  9 місяців тому

      I haven't grown mushrooms but there are vendors online that sell starter kits targeted at specific varieties of mushrooms. I recommend starting this way to ensure any mushrooms you grow are safe to eat and are exactly what you're looking for. Once you have the fungal spors growing, you should be able to keep growing them by replacing the growing medium with materials that are like those used in the start kit. Good luck to you and thanks for watching.

      With your bins being outside, best to leave them with as much material as possible. Thanks for watching Nick.

    Great harvest. I like your sifter Steve. Awesome way to get rid of the old corn stalks. I just realized I did some planting and the mic was on but not transmitting or receiving. Plus I ran out of memory card space too. It was a double whammy. 😁🪱

      lol. That happens. 🤣 I was filming 1 video and didn't realize the battery had died on the Transmitter. Having missed the moment, I ended up skipping the whole thing.

      Thanks for watching. The sifter has been quite useful and makes quick work screening out chucky bits from compost, potting soil and worm castings.
