I share all my “Secret Tips” all the time😅 I even share things that I know for sure other worm farmers won’t, some have asked me not to share it, but it’s my business and I love teaching ☺️
I want everyone to be successful with their work farms, small or large! Whatever part of this mission you take on, we're working for good. I share what has worked and what has not worked but the only way a person knows for sure is to start caring for them themselves! 💗🙏
Very exciting Captain Matt. Thanks for sharing the information and your news. I love the notion of sharing expertise. I worked in IT for a while and one of the practices was review by peers of your work. At first it felt wrong. But getting a panel of your peers around a table to walk through a submitted work was transformative. The whole of the technical workforce shared their individual strengths, and as a result the whole workforce soon worked at a technical strength of our combined, shared capabilities. We went from a group of individuals each working to achieve, as a group, at the lowest common denominator level, to a bonded team achieving results close to the highest common factor level of capability. The worming community can do this and we can all benefit, along with the gardens and customers we support.
Hello Captain, I am André Oliveira and I am from Portugal and you have been the greatest inspiration in these last weeks. I am starting in the world of vermaculture, by the way I bought my first 300 worms yesterday. I am super excited about the possibility of attending your course, I can't wait to learn with you not only for the knowledge you transmit but especially for the giant intusiasm that shows in all the videos. Big hug from Portugal and ... I´m Worm People.
Happy to have you onboard, Andre! I’ve never had friend from Portugal before ☺️ - were on the home stretch of the course prep… a year in the making - I’m so excited to share it.
Captain, I think you need a bigger garage. So many cacoons, you may run out of space of grow out bins. All I can say is YaHooo, thems a lotta worms! Keep up with the great work you are doing.
Captain, Thank you so much for your knowledge. It really has been a good thing learning from you. BIG THINGS IN MY FUTURE. All because of you and Jude. Keep up the good work.
Hello Captain Matt, really enjoy watching your videos. I can feel your great passion about worm farming. You are knowledgeable, energetic and inspiring. Keep this up and the world needs more people like you ❤
Your energy and enthusiasm are infectious, Captain Matt! I love how the worm community supports each other, even if it's just watching each other's videos and making a kind comment. ~ Sandra
I like the idea of using the big bins as a place to hatch the cocoons and then the large bins act as a nursery and a place to grow out the worms👍👍 Thinking out loud 👉👉The only reason I have breeder bins, nursery bins and grow out bins is because I am producing batches of worms that are generally all the same length, they are sized from birth. Is it necessary, not at all? Is it advantageous? Yes, with ENCs and ANCs. Would I recommend someone go through the process with RWs? Not unless they are wanting to produce a certain amount/weight of worms and castings every week, or they truly want to understand the life cycle of worms and have predictable outcomes that are absolute. With those large CFTs that captain Matt has once they are at full production, they will hold 30 lbs. of worms, no problem, allowing one to remove a 1/2 lb. a week and still maintain the 30 lbs. of worms. Plus, they can easily take 10 to 15 gallons of shredded/sifted compost or peat on the top a week and deliver that much out the bottom. Done thinking out loud. Thanks for the upload! Enjoy worms and have a great Day!
Keep thinking out loud, Worms for Life! You have a way of explaining things that have been in my brain but have come out into words... and also some new ideas that help me think about the process as well. Thank you!
Hi Captain Mat, I'm very new to raising worms....only have about 100 now. I've been watching your videos for a while an truly enjoy them. I have a couple of questions I have not seen answered on your show. First, your huge bags, when you sell them will you remove the worms or will they go with the huge bags of castings? Second, you have said you have heat for your breeding bins. What are you using.... heating pads, small heaters? I hope you have the time to answer my questions, I realize you are very busy. Thank you for your time Sue
Hey Susan, so great to hear from you. We'll extract (most of the worms) from the big bags and bag castings for retail sale. Keep an eye our for a short video this week about the heating pads. Thanks for asking!
Right on, MB. I tend to use BTI more than DE, myself. Here's a good related post on WormPeople.com .. would love to have more of your perspective in the comments of the article wormpeople.com/dealing-with-fruit-flies-and-fungus-gnats-in-the-worm-bin/
Can you advise what a CRT is? I am a newbie home farmer and I use a simple 360 and another DIY tiered system for my “Rescues” Lumbricus T. We had a landscaping project and I couldn’t see them killed and now it’s cold out 😂
Good morning Captain, I am think to start worm farm in bathtub. I got rat problems in my backyard. I question is if I cover my warm farm with plastic??? Do I kill my worm without oxygen. Need you advise.
Just asking if u continue to put cocoon in each week will the worms that hatch still grow out to full size bait worms and can it be done with European Night Crawlers...thnx cpt🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
euros are awesome to work with. and yeah they will grow if they have a good bedding and food. we use a 5 way dry mix to fatten up the worms that go out for fishing.
@@paulsoutbackgardenaustrali7674 ground together non medicated chicken crumbl, alfalfa,rolled oats, cornbread, oyster shell. and they get pretty fat up to 500 per bin.
breeder worms get sifted out and go back into new bedding. cocoon material goes into the grow out bin.(which in 2 cycles turns into breeder/grow out bin anyway)
Captain Matt you are the bomb!
Keller Korner Worm Hut in Connersville, Indiana appreciates your videos. 🪱
If I had that many worms I’d have to do something diabolical with them.
Thank you for sharing!

Love you Captain Matt!!!
Exciting stuff going on - and seeing your enthusiasm for it all is the best part 👍🏻
I learn so much on UA-cam and it's FREE. so many people sharing. One day I will have courses on UA-cam for free because sharing is caring.

Wow, I’m just getting started and obviously in the right place!!
Glad to have you here, Tony!
Legend! Loving the paint on the worm farm Captain!
You are doing great things for the community. Samantha is a great person. Take care. 😎
Greetings from Russia, I am your subscriber, I also breed Dendroben worms, You tell me very interestingly, Thank you for your work✌👍

I love your entusism Captain! Sharing your knowledge is appreciated, Thank U.
You’re welcome, Paul! I just can’t hold it in sometimes!
Well that's a GREAT problem to have 🥰 time for an upgrade to your space
All the best for your new journey.
I am excited to hear about the course! Count me in!!
Love the artwork on the bin, and the scripture ❣️
Great idea. I do the same in laundry tubs.
Great News Captain Matt😊🇦🇺
Love your videos and information Captain Matt. Where do you get your black breeder trays?
That is exciting news!
Can't wait for the courses! Sounds awesome.
We do need to train those who would love to have a worm farm.

Hey captain Matt, what's in the spray bottles there. Is it just molasses?
Diatomaceous Earth food grade also works well for the gnats, worm on!
Right on, MB. I tend to use BTI more than DE, myself. Here's a good related post on WormPeople.com .. would love to have more of your perspective in the comments of the article wormpeople.com/dealing-with-fruit-flies-and-fungus-gnats-in-the-worm-bin/
Love all your stuff! Where do you buy your mortar bins?
Can you advise what a CRT is? I am a newbie home farmer and I use a simple 360 and another DIY tiered system for my “Rescues” Lumbricus T. We had a landscaping project and I couldn’t see them killed and now it’s cold out 😂
Thanks!!
Ps...I'm trying to be a wormer and need to grow lots of big European night crawlers...for fishing...thnx again..
I may have missed it, but why would I separate the cocoons out?
Thank you
You're welcome, Lisa!
how many total weeks to fill the one ton bag? You can't own the truth, thanks for sharing it.
Do you have holes in the plastic that’s on top? Same question for your bucket covers
Not in this case… but monitor it to ensure air is getting in from sides. Buckets need holes.
Do you have a online store?
Good morning Captain,
I am think to start worm farm in bathtub. I got rat problems in my backyard. I question is if I cover my warm farm with plastic??? Do I kill my worm without oxygen. Need you advise.
Find a way to ensure enough oxygen while rodent proof. Pipes, screens, etc
Sir, do you hatch your cocoons in casting ?
How long do ENC live?
All I keep hearing about is sharing and learning and all the sudden now there’s a corse with a charge ?
Just asking if u continue to put cocoon in each week will the worms that hatch still grow out to full size bait worms and can it be done with European Night Crawlers...thnx cpt🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
euros are awesome to work with. and yeah they will grow if they have a good bedding and food. we use a 5 way dry mix to fatten up the worms that go out for fishing.
@@shanediggers2156 what is the dry mix also I guess it's best to put not many fishing worms in a bin as that will make em grow big right?
@@paulsoutbackgardenaustrali7674 ground together non medicated chicken crumbl, alfalfa,rolled oats, cornbread, oyster shell. and they get pretty fat up to 500 per bin.
@@shanediggers2156 thnx for that...will be getting some in a mnth or so ... will give it a try
Thanks for sharing your technique, Shane. Good stuff!
It is a little confusing what you do with the breeders. Are they put in the previous CFT with the cocoons?
breeder worms get sifted out and go back into new bedding. cocoon material goes into the grow out bin.(which in 2 cycles turns into breeder/grow out bin anyway)
@@shanediggers2156 how does it turn into a breeder bin or grow out bin in 2 weeks anyway?
@@shanediggers2156 thanks Shane
How many breeders do you have in one bin to get 1000 cocoons from each?
What is in the bottle hanging on the rack? It looks like EM1 solution...
Just molasses water 😊
Hy Captain, give me the link for your course i will be one of the first to learn
Hi Elie… the "Learn to Worm" course can be found at learn.wormpeople.com/course/learn-to-worm I’d love to have you join in!
