Very interesting and it's even in my own state.

@TrapperBV Год назад

What an intricate process. Interesting stuff. Great video!

@UrbanWormCompany Год назад

I appreciate it Trapper! Hope you've been well.

@Vermicompost Год назад

Very cool operation...great job simplifying a complex process and explaining the science behind it!! Sounds like they have some punctual free range cows!! Awesome video Steve, I learned a lot!!🪱🪱🪱

@UrbanWormCompany Год назад

Thanks so much VLD!

@Kylescultivationfarmsandfilmst Год назад

Excellent informative video. I thought at first it would be my noke worm farm in New Zealand. I first heard of this worm farm in Bentley christy red worm composting

@UrbanWormCompany Год назад

Yep....Bentley's been aware of this place for quite awhile!

@rickthelian2215 Год назад

The clean water would be an important part of the farm to use for irrigation and they could spread the worm castings on their paddocks for better grass growth for cows, but they’d make more money selling the castings. Interest topic, similar principle as human sewerage waste to kill pathogens etc and clean the water aerobically and other process to release clean water back into river systems.😊🇦🇺

OK...I need to pick up my jaw from the floor...I had seen the videos from the early days of Worm Power and I was totally impressed at that time...This video, transports me to a whole new worm galaxy of a scale I could have never imagined...WOW

@UrbanWormCompany 5 месяцев назад

Yeah, the scale of this place is pretty nuts!

@aok2727 4 месяца назад

So, what do they do with the castings?

@firehorsewoman414 Год назад

Love the video -still chuckling over “udder suckers” and you equating an full udder with full bladder. LOL. On a more serious note, your screening issue with the too sticky material, is there a way to get the worms to “screen” themselves. Not sure what that would be but an external stimulus that would cause them to migrate toward a small area. Idk just thoughts rumbling in my head. Also, when you talk about market, if you have access to large amounts think large applications and target those customers - the farmer in the midwest who now grows organic but is growing on hundreds of acres, or the orchards etc. A lot of those large monoculture farms sure would benefit from some black gold. They could sell to Floret.

@UrbanWormCompany Год назад

Not offbase...... The worms could screen possibly themselves using a large, flat screen suspended off the ground under bright light (sunlight or mademade). The worms would be repelled by the light and would make their way down through the mesh. Also, we sell to very large customers and there are several issues with trying to sell these castings. For one, the transportation costs would be a huge part of the sales to places as far as the Midwest. The quantity coming online at one time would be difficult to sell (perhaps presell them) in a timely manner. The cleanouts are happening at varying times of year, some of which would be high-demand times, but sometimes at low-demand times. The cost and effort to screen this material would be extensive as well. Just tough. Not impossible, but hard.

@firehorsewoman414 Год назад

@@UrbanWormCompany very interesting issues, but I hope solutions come about. This is when I really regret not having more knowledge about business production and the biology aspects of it all. Also, didn’t mean selling small, like what I buy - a bag here or there, just not on a grand industrial scale like you referenced for this problem. Do you have any information on whether worms processing manure can “clean” grazon from contaminated manures?

@sherrywebster1675 9 месяцев назад

Worms are the future :)))

@jshkrueger Год назад

Lol! There are a couple of terms for the "udder suckers". The individual "udder sucker" is called a "teat cup". The grouping of teat cups, usually four, for an individual cow is called a "milking cluster". Hope that helps! 😂

@UrbanWormCompany Год назад

Haha! I'm gonna stick with "udder suckers!!" :)

@Elijah12459 11 месяцев назад

Which worm bin do you recommend? I started in storage bins but don't like to dig them out so much to harvest. I have lots of food scaps I want to use and also want to be able to harvest compost quickly and more frequently. Also should I get more than just one?

@UrbanWormCompany 11 месяцев назад

Hey there! We manufacture the Urban Worm Bag and it's been a hit! shop.urbanwormcompany.com/collections/urban-worm-bag

I believe MYNOKE is the largest commercial vermicast business in the world.

@annelm369 Год назад

So very cool!! Yet another amazing thing these worms can do!!... But damn did I laugh... The cow's udder is on a 12 hour schedule and begins to get uncomfortable, so they welcome the relief... It's a milking machine... Udder sicker!! 😂 😂 😂 😂

@UrbanWormCompany Год назад

I'm gonna stick with udder suckers! 😆
