    The continuation of my backyard composting videos, in this video i show you how to make backyard worm compost and how to harvest worm castings, and i mean loads of worm compost using an IBC tote worm bin to use as organic fertiliser in the garden in order to grow my vegetables. I also demonstrate my ingenious method of harvesting worm juice a great example of how to recycle an IBC tote.

    Nice compost bin. To get the worms which remain in buckets after you've tipped to leave, just put them upside-down on the top of the compost and they'll make their own way out of the bucket and into the mass of composting materials.

    Lovely. one day I will have a small worm bin too. Compost will have to do for now. Because of all the wood chips I have plenty of mycelium so maybe I can get away without the leaf mold but...need ericaceous compost for the blueberries. So still may be worth making leaf mold. Generally though, I just chuck everything in my compost. Limited on space. Love that your children are in the garden with you. Nurturing more than just plants and soil.

    • @MyFamilyGarden
      @MyFamilyGarden  5 років тому

      Thank you very much, you've left such wonderful comments. I use Conifer trimmings to make the erracacious compost. Leaf mould can be a really good soil conditioner. I used to just chuck everything in one pile but as I started learning the different uses for different types of compost I adapted the way I compost. Thanks again

    Hi I've started my compost bin from my garden waste and leaves from my garden trees. It's a long way off breaking down yet but it's starting. I only have room for one bin. I'm going to turn it every month. When it's drier and I can cut the grass, I'm going to add leaves and shred them with my mower together and make some quick compost for the garden. Your compost bin is great!
    All those worms! I hope I can achieve something similar in time.

    • @MyFamilyGarden
      @MyFamilyGarden  3 роки тому +1

      That sounds great slower compost is better if you can afford to take you time. With this bin I use it just for food scraps and let the worms break it down so I get lots of worm castings.

    Great video, people underestimate the fungal components necessary for plant growth. Also, great family, my fondest memories are helping my dad in the garden even if I was just fetching tools.

    • @MyFamilyGarden
      @MyFamilyGarden  5 років тому +1

      Absolutely, there's a big push for quick compost and hot compost using the bacterial process which is good and important but sometimes they forget about the fungal side of things.
      I share your memories, I remember running around my dad's allotment when I was young.
      Really appreciate your visit

    Fantastic castings haul! Many happy worms in your bin. We have one 5 gallon bucket with holes drilled in it buried in the garden. Planning to add a couple more. I’m able to bring home food scraps from my job as a cooking class assistance to feed our worms. I think vermicomposting is fascinating.

  • @crt9082
    @crt9082 5 років тому +1

    If you feed food scraps on one side of the bin all the worms will go there and you could just scoop out the finished side .maybe you should make it into a horizontal worm bin so it will be easier to harvest.

    • @MyFamilyGarden
      @MyFamilyGarden  5 років тому

    I wonder if it would be possible to raise it up and make a flow-through worm bin so you don't have to tip it all out regularly

    • @MyFamilyGarden
      @MyFamilyGarden  3 роки тому

      It's a good Idea, it's sort of the way I've got it set up, flowing horizontal instead of vertical, but I normally give it one big clean at the start of the year.

  • @paxtianodirtfrog8947
    @paxtianodirtfrog8947 5 років тому +1

    Looking good! I like what you were saying about the leaf mold is about fungus and not nutrition. I was complaining recently about the amount of woody material left in my compost and it isn't really ideal for the small seeds I'm planting. However I was thinking that a little bit of woody material might promote fungal growth in my beds long term. I was delighted to see hyphea strands in places when I was replanting yesterday. Now that the tillage is minimal and only in the top two inches I think I will have the fungus among us.

    • @MyFamilyGarden
      @MyFamilyGarden  5 років тому +1

      Absolutely that's why I use so many wood chips in the garden it promotes the fungal growth. The bacterial growth will come from regular compost and compost teas etc. The fungal growth is often overlooked by so many.

  • @BlueGardenCottage
    @BlueGardenCottage 5 років тому +1

    OOOh, just had a thought, would it help to have the two bin edges at the same level then cap them with something like pip-lagging to stop leaves getting into the bottom bin? Or something to that effect anyway...just a thought. I have a similar system for my comfrey liquid. I gave up on making comfrey tea as the neighbours are not so tolerant of the smell. I found that NOT adding water at all was the trick. I have two of those black plastic buckets (that you get from the florist in a supermarket) one with holes in the bottom, other one no holes. The one without the holes has some stones in the bottom and the other with the holes inside on top of the small stones. I cram comfrey leaves inside and cover the lot with an old compost bag, leave for 3 months and pour out the liquid to a bottle to use as feed to dilute....no smells.

    • @MyFamilyGarden
      @MyFamilyGarden  5 років тому

      Nice idea I'll look into pipe lagging (and what it is lol) comfrey tea smells lovely, what are they complaining about? Lol. So you're making a concentrate that makes sense, you can use the old leaves as a feed by adding it to planting holes. Thanks again

    Are those IBC's easy to come across in your area? I have access to those things for free, but they can sell for fifty dollars a piece in our area. How powerful is that worm juice/run off?

    • @MyFamilyGarden
      @MyFamilyGarden  5 років тому +1

      I found it quite hard to get hold of (for free, you can order second hand ones for £50-£100), one of my neighbours had a couple in his factory so let me have them for free. I think it's like rocket fuel, it's not just worm juice there's horse and chicken manure in the bin so it gets a lot of fire from that.

  • @whereweare882
    @whereweare882 5 років тому

    Excellent video! Thank you for taking time to explain what you do, how it works and how it benefits the garden. I was wondering what I should do with all my leaves.
    So, I start me leaves this year and use them for next years garden? Would I turn this into the end of the soil this year or next year before I plant?

    • @MyFamilyGarden
      @MyFamilyGarden  5 років тому

      Thanks for watching, you can either add the leaves to your compost pile or out them in black bags and let them slowly decompose, which will encourage a lot of fungal life. You can then add it to the garden (it's a great soil conditioner) or use it as an ingredient in a seed starting mix.
