Urban Worm Bag VS Vermibag Review after 1.5 years of use- African Night Crawlers 

Thank you for the kind words. Tom from vermibag is the one who got me started using aged bedding.

@@PlantObsessed Yes, that’s where I saw it first too and do it like him. I mix up wet, warm coco coir, coffee grounds, pulverized egg shells, Azomite, Humichar, kelp meal, Neem seed meal, a sprinkle of Mycorrhiza Fungi; then slowly work it into a wheelbarrow of shredded cardboard and paper, dried leaves, a few handfuls of fresh cut grass, and hopefully what aged bedding I may have left from last time. It works so well that if I’m in a hurry, the worms will thrive with just the bedding. I find those worms up in the bedding faster than they hit the kitchen scrapes. Now I keep a 32 gallon Rubbermaid garbage can (on wheels!) ready with bedding. I’m making so much castings a lot faster, faster than I can use them up. I enjoyed your showing how you built the Vermibag lil mammoth and knew I had to have it. It holds so much! I’m not sure which I like better between the Vermibag verses The Hungry Bin though. They both have their pros and cons.

The bag system is great. 🪱😃👍🏼 Good luck

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. I do tend to abuse the systems. The VB stands up to it. Thank you for watching.

Thank you.😁

Thank you. Maybe your executive producer will get you one for Christmas 😬

@@PlantObsessed That's a great idea!! She won't let me have another worm bin, but if I gift her one then it's a win-win right?🤣

@@PlantObsessed Hahaha, you were right!! She got me a worm bag (UWB) for Christmas!! This was great to watch again 8 months later!! I think I need to get a lil mammoth as well, just so my UWB is not lonely😂🤣😂Luckily they corrected some of the issues you had with the UWB...but I have yet to harvest it so that should be interesting!!! Great to watch this agin!!

@@Vermicompost we will need a video of that!!

@@PlantObsessed I can't even imagine how to film it!!!

I think the difference is UWB is industrial made and VB is hand made by a guy.

@@PlantObsessed that is correct.

Yes the quarter inch screen will work great. I sift all my castings. I put all the items that don't fall through right back on top. Sometimes I soak them in water to make sure they are more workable by the microbes and worms.

Thanks. This makes sense.

They are great.👍🏼🪱😁

Way back when I started I did grind all the food but now I have too many bins. It does make them eat faster 👍🏼😁🪱

Currently the Vermibag is made in Italy. I'm surprised he doesn't ship to Europe. Send him an email and ask.

I only like the bag because of where I live the ANC crawl all the time. It is the only way I can keep them contained. Thunderstorm and heavy truck vibration make them nuts. I used to find them all dried up on the floor the day after a storm.

I'm going on 2 years with the vermibag and the zipper is like new. It cost more but is like new with all the abuse I give it. 😀👍🏼🪱

Operator error? lol

I wish I had bookmarked it but I could swear there is a You Tube on a DIY cardboard shredder. It is a heavy-duty unit.
