Thanks Charlie, when I can get my camera to work, it is a pleasure, that is about 20 % of the time! LOL, which is why I haven’t been posting vids as consistently as I would like to.

The worms are a fascinating creature, I concur. I learned a lot about them from a book I adore called “Teeming with Microbes” a must read for every staunch gardener.

Yes, this is my line of thinking Demensha, I would like to supplement chicken and poultry feed with this and am doing research on composting with soilder fly larvae, which apparently are extremely high protein source and don’t have parasites like worms do. Another thought I had, was if worse came to worse, I could eat the worms, they are pretty high in protein too, just squeeze out their innards to get rid of parasites and they are ready to go. (gulps) if it ever comes to that!

Yes, I was surprised Styme that it was so wet, apparently the drainage I’d included had gotten clogged up, but seemed like that is where most of the worms where chilling so they like it!

Compost will have …
Compost will have worms, but you turn it so less worms present. You have diff. types of compost, hot, cool-( worms are in the cool compost)
Hot compost kills seeds and goes through succession of diff. microbes. Only feed your worms veggie/fruit matter. Worms like bedding, esp. straw and manure, but newspaper will do. You can get worms online or from bait shop, “nightcrawlers”, Took these worms a year to do that, if I had more, it would take less time, you can water the worms or add veggie. Yes.
