    Great Vid. Full of very useful tips. I've had my worm bin for about 3 months and I'm glad to say all is going well. I do keep mine very well stocked with bedding (shredded cardboard mainly). 2 to 1 ratio of bedding to food at every feed. The worms seem to be happy with this and it helps to absorb some of the moisture from the food. As said, "Great vid". Keep up the excellent work you do. Keep smiling.

    Welcome back, your video back then is why I've had wormbins since. I watched some other vids and did some more research too but the original inspiration was yours and I do still use cheap storage box containers from the budget store like the ones in your original video. Happy to say all my many current worms still descend from the original batch. That's not to say none died prematurely ever, but haven't had a die out despite my apartment being impossible to keep cool in summer.

    Glad to see you back and that you haven't given up on worm composting ! 🙂
    I have gone through a very similar learning curve during the past couple of years so most that you mentioned are highly relatable.

      It's been a lot of ups and downs and figuring stuff out. Thank you for coming back :)

    I got friends that are professional in it in what they got as a plastic box with Annette over it. So I can breathe. Let's all that the flies are bugs or anything. Birds or anybody get into it. And then that's seemed to work really good.

    Ya worm bins require some learning. I had some African night crawlers that are supposed to be good composters. Anyways I put fifteen pounds of worms in a big like 20 gallon tote. But the tote heated up and worms escaped. Then a sibling put the tote in the garage I found out the next day and the worms die. African worms die below sixty degrees or something. It’s crazy.
    Anyways also got red wigglers. I cut a large 500 gallon IBC tote in half. Then put a screen on the bottom cause there’s a hole. After that I put down like an inch of cardboard to soak up moisture since I’d put the bin in my garage. And then I filled it up with manure, leaves, paper etc. Rock dust and egg shells can raise the ph to help avoid bugs. But ya I think having a worm bin that’s 250 gallons is good. It lets up dump one or two five gallon buckets worth of food scraps in one side. Then it can compost or the worms can eat it. The bin literally can heat up in parts, but with the bin being like maybe four feet by four feet square I’ve never had a problem with worms escaping. Also I never worry about having to feed them. I can fill it full of new stuff in May and plant some tomatoes on top of the bin and then in the spring of next year I can harvest worm castings to use in my garden to put with all new plants or when I plant seeds.
    It does sound like work hard so good job. Living in an apartment would be tough to have a worm bin. I will say if you happen to have a private garage like some townhomes or some apartments have then you could put worm bins in the garage.

    You could also buy word food to baltimam. That's what I did. So I could sell them.
    I sold a bit bulk. But I do know how to show u how to run the worms. So you don't have a major problem

    If you have only carpet, buy a cheap shower curtain liner to put under it.

    We just had with the plastic around the crates inside and then put the soil in there too. Make this work. We had over a 100 qt before we knew it. Yeah, we made a lot of money. We made about $35000 apiece. How many
