Hi guys. I hope you liked this trick, works great with castings drier. For worms or supplies visit my website TheGardenAndWormLady.com #wormcomposting #redwigglers
Wow I can’t believe your costs there for peat moss, here in Ontario it’s $16.00 for compressed 62 pound bag. I agree about moisture, my worms love the water as long as it’s not enough to swim 😂 I am trying an experiment with growing small slabs of wheatgrass for my worms, I will let you know if it works,but I am sure you are a pro and will have already tried what I am trying. I love your wormery! I wish my hubby would sell his Starwars collection in the basement so I could make a room just like yours 😂 I started worming in August and I am obsessed now. Thank you for all your help every step of the way!
We use the castings to grow wheat grass for our genie pigs. And after 3 wheat cuttings throw the use castings/wheat grass roots into the worm bin. The worms love it and crowl all up into the roots. Takes a while for them to make it dissappear.

@@TheGardenAndWormLady ok so I have to say…..my experiment was a success! I will go check out your video on how you do your wheatgrass. I did mine with no dirt and no castings.
Thanks for sharing this video with us. I love your videos. You and MeMe are my favorite. I'm starting a few bins for of EURO'S for my fish bait. I might sell a few worms to my friends. Bait has got so expensive. Keep up the good work. Thanks Again!!!...
Good morning, Vee, from Windermere Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 Great demo on that sifter. 👍 I hope you, Joe and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving 🥧🦃♥️
I’ve been in love with Tim Dorsey’s series ,my dad got me hooked many years ago when we worked on same job for few years but I used to hate when he put them on but I don’t know if was age or just that I found a author I really enjoyed but just saying I heard u say u also enjoyed audio books :) I appreciate all your great wisdom and I swear if I had it I’d get u a cup or two bc was a great video with lots of great info but I’m out work due to disability (I fell apart during the pendimic ) so just my wife working and three kids and I’m the internal waiting game with or for ssdi but as soon as it dose (witch maybe year or two ) but I we’ll get u that coffee:) and I love your clothes besides compared to the worm your all dressed up :) but I was thinking of wonting to start doing something similar and very happy I found your channel,much love and thank u
That is so sweet. Thank you very much. Yes I like reading. I read a lot of Stephen King. I am reading a book right now called this house is haunted. I like scary stuff but I go back-and-forth with different types of books. I also have a huge collection.😅
Good afternoon ! Like I said, I am seriously hooked on your RU-vid channel. I can’t get enough! It seems like you were very knowledgeable and caring. You’re awesome.
Thank you for this great info! It's nice to see you using the pine shavings. I have TONS of pine shavings that I use as litter for my rabbits, and I was wondering whether it would be safe to use in my worm bins. Do they readily consume the shavings or do you just use it for fluff/bulk?
Peat moss is being eliminated from use as it is a huge problem for depleting these carbon sinks. If you can avoid using it, please do. I find coir pretty darn good, mixed with very fine mulch or sawdust.
It's cool growing worms, from a basis point. What they devour. That's the human interest. It's like BAM! one week later it's gone. I've seen it, time and again! The Premise is it's an effective Fertilizer.
I love your humor, Thought it was funny you apologizing for not looking professional. What does a professional worm farmer look like? If you’re not one I don’t I don’t know who is. I keep getting in trouble for wearing a nice shirt when I go out & dig in my worms or garden.
😂 I had someone tell me they didn’t like the hole in my shirt. When you do the harvest the size that I do occasionally, there’s no way I’ll wear my nice clothes down there.😂
Does everyone freeze their leaves or sand before putting in their worm bin?? I am afraid I will bring bad bugs into my inside worm bin. Would freezing or microwaving even work?
Freezing them definitely works. I also makes diatomaceous earth in my leaves the food grade kind. I also suck my leaves and very hot water for a few days that also works.
Can you use shredded cardboard instead of pine shavings??? Not sure what I can get in the uk but I do have coir. And it’s becoming a bit too wet over the 3 weeks.
I know it's a bit of a hike for you, but the Menards in Montgomery IL (about 35 miles west of Chicago) has 2.2 cubic foot bales of peat moss for $8.89 after rebate. A number of Menards stores have peat available, so you might find one closer. If you should decide to come up this way, give me a yell, and I'll buy the coffee. 🙂
@@TheGardenAndWormLady I think most in your area are out of stock. Those served by the Plano IL distribution center seem to have them. I don't know the reason others don't.
Hi sunshine. I have sooooo many tiny white worms that I don’t know how to get rid of them. Can you help me with that.? Also, how does one Oder something from Amazon but credit you! Thanks kiddo.
Those little white worms are called pot worms. They are part of the Composting World and they are harmless. They usually mean that’s a lot of moisture in there. Here’s the link to my Amazon store . www.amazon.com/shop/thegardenandwormlady?ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_aipsfshop_aipsfthegardenandwormlady_M8V2MDTXKGKGPSAM48E8
Every bin has mites no matter what but I control their population. I use diatomaceous earth the food grade. I sprinkle it on the surface and outside the bin. I rub it in all the edges and I leave it alone. Within a few days this gone
@@ridzuanomar828 I've read that sticking a piece of bread in the bin and leaving it for a few hours will bait the mites. They go into the bread and then you can throw them away. I haven't tried this yet but I plan to!
@@TheGardenAndWormLady thanks for your reply my first time of doing it this way, just have one tote enjoy working with them but not happy with the worms
With proper moisture, and having only red wigglers, which are very calm in temperament, they just stay in. If you have blue worms mixed in , those are the ones probably escaping .
