This may be the craziest thing I've ever done, but I'm now a worm farmer. LOL! That's in addition to being an author of 10+ books and a fulltime nomad. What on earth have I done? And why? In this video I share with you step-by-step how I started my tiny home vermicomposting bin of nightcrawler worms. It took 4 tries but finally my worms are happy! 👍🏼😍

I will have never guessed your new hobby in a million years.

@susanjack4099 3 месяца назад

What a great hobby, now you need a couple plants to put all that good worm castings in, it makes great compost for plants lol. Happy worm farming and fishing.

I used to raise/farm worms and never went to such extremes for them. I never drilled holes in the bottom of the bins, and I used the cheapest, usually clear plastic bins, then I mixed paper strips w/potting soil, using every square inch of the news paper (never mind not using the colored parts). I fed them from the top, laying in whatever food scraps and covering them with a bit of paper (not much). They especially loved tomato slices. I also ground up egg shells, but not overdoing it. If they didn't eat a food in a week it was easy to remove. They ate scraps from our salads. DO NOT OVERFEED. I especially loved seeing new worms from the worm eggs. My worms were strong, healthy and prolific, living in a bin about 1 foot long, 8 inches deep by about 10 inches wide. I did keep the bin indoors, mostly put out of the way, but not in a cupboard. Who knows, maybe they really loved being social in my home with lots of music all the time. Hope this helps. Be healthy, stay safe and many blessings, Morgan

No salt corn meal make great food for your worms just sprinkle a little on the top . That's what my friend does and she uses a plastic coffee container with small holes in the top works pretty good make sure it's no salted corn meal

My husband raised worms for years before he moved them out to the compost pile. When he started there were no worms 🪱 in the yard and now there are gobs. He uses no fertilizer or any chemicals. The castings are great for plants.

Hi Debra. Is the worm thing the new hobby you were hinting to in that other video?

@cintiapollock2486 3 месяца назад

moldy food isn’t inherently dangerous to worms. The mold that develops on food scraps can actually assist in the breakdown process, making it easier for worms to consume the material. Thats why you use the little cardboard to contain the food to one area, so mold does not grow throughout the whole bedding and you probably are feeding too much raw food at a time if it gets moldy fast.

Very Cool! 😎 Can we now call you the Worm Queen! 🪱 😜

@lisaroth7526 3 месяца назад

Fascinating new hobby Debra! Are you going to overwinter them too?

This is sooo cool, and something I have wanted to do for a long time. Thank you for showig all your efforts...the mulch seems to work great! I see you two were in Chama buying your bins, are you still in that area? You have a great week, stay safe and well❤🙌

@authordebradickinson 3 месяца назад

We’re still in the area. You can contact us through my website, debradickinson.com. Best wishes on adding worm farming to your homesteading mix! 😍

@jojobobo6661 3 месяца назад

put all the worms on one side and during the week put scraps on the opposite side.. the worms will move over leaving the castings

@MelDarkDeer 3 месяца назад

I'm surprised nobody guessed this. It seems like an obvious hobby for a middle school science teacher. 😂

@midnightrunkennelbeth7629 3 месяца назад

😂🎉😯🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤣🤣 No, Worm 🪱 Farmer was Not on my list of possible hobbies!! 🤔 Maybe because I think of worm farming as a homestead activity... Not a "hobby"... 🤷🏻‍♀️ But that's just me 😉🎉🤣 Good luck in your New endeavor -- may they Live Long, and Prosper 🪱🖖🏻

Used to use a cheap styrofoam cooler with a couple of holes in the lid , had black mountain valley soil , otherwise would have used pottting soil and mulch , fed them coffee grounds and corn meal . Cooler kept them at a steadier temp . Once a week or so would carefully dump the whole shebang out and stir it up so the bottom wouldn't get too wet and mold . While it sounds cruel , the night crawlers always got halved with the tail going on the fishhook first , very wiggly , then the head half after the tail was gone. I'm assuming that's what you are keeping them for because worm dairy farming is a losing proposition .

@seanh4841 3 месяца назад

The worms will appreciate normal soil, potting mix is quite often devoid of life

@craftytraveler9238 3 месяца назад

Are you sure you will be able to take some out fishing with you?

@charlottewilson4680 3 месяца назад

Do you use the worms for fishing?

@dennis78382 3 месяца назад

Good afternoon friend. That is me. You need to get some overalls now that you're a farmer. Maybe a straw hat. Probably should get you a tiny tractor.😃🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱
