I agree. This was a good video…very informative…however, it would be nice to have the tv turned off in the background next time. Also, at the beginning of the video, was this more about the tripod or the worm composting? At any rate, this still had some good information. Thanks!

When in doubt, call your local newspaper company and ask them type of ink used. If soy/other organic ink OK to use. Do not use shiny pages as they have a plastic film/other ink on them to make them shine. Corrugated carton boxes are ok to use 4 as long as cut in tiny pieces so it can discompose faster =)
Thank you very much …
Thank you very much for the info
These worms are not …
These worms are not soil dwellers. Cardboard,Leaves,Shredded newspaper,manure and food waste are the main bedding and food. Yes, moisture is important as well as mixing to incorporate air and periodically harvesting worms to provide new material is ideal. Thank you for your comment and question.

This was very informative.
I plan to make a small set up like that to breed fishing worms for my grandfather.
I plan to use cardboard -leaves (noticed you use that) and soil.
I imagine you keep the top moist and do you ever remove all the worms discard the bedding to add clean,new bedding?
My objective is just to breed them .
Thank you
Great video and …
Great video and informative!! Just a tip though, can you turn off excess audio to better hear your speech.
Thanks!!
So that I don’t …
So that I don’t come across as a total smartass, please know that it’s pretty obvious to me that you’re “worming” on a much bigger scale than me and I’m sure have been at it longer, too. I find your videos to be interesting and informative.
You know what, …
You know what, you’ve made many excellent points. My initial research indicated gloves should be worn because of oils on the hands. But many wormers do not wear gloves and their worms have not suffered that I know of. And your comment about the disposable gloves is right on as well. Kudos to you for your insight and honesty.
I’d be more worried …
I’d be more worried about the worms being hurt by residues of soap on my hands than I would the miniscule amounts of skin oil on my hands. Also, those are plastic gloves you are using…manufactured from petroleum (oil) chemicals. Bet there are some residues of the manufacturing process on those, too…are those less harmful to the worms than human skin oil? And aren’t those DISPOSABLE…as in somethine else to go into the landfill? Isn’t composting about keeping things out of the landfills?
I’ve only been …
I’ve only been vermicomposting for about six months, but I’ve been reading about it for years. This is the first time I’ve ever heard that the skin oils from bare-skin handling could be harmful to the worms. I’m having a really hard time believing that could have a significant impact. Aside from the fact that the amounts of oil would be minimal, it isn’t as though you’re massaging the oil over the entire surface of the worm, or that the worm isn’t going right back into the bedding to scrub it of
These bins do not …
These bins do not smell. They are earthy and any smell that the food waste might have is taken care of by the worms. Just make sure and bury the waste. Worms are the best indoor composting alternative.
Does the bin leave …
Does the bin leave a smell in your house? I want to start one but my mom doesn’t want the house smelling up.
Anyone know if …
Anyone know if there is an easy way to get red worms for free (or the cost of shipping)?
I have replied to …
I have replied to your questions twice. Not sure why it’s not posting. I’m probably breaking Google rules, trying to include a link to my podcast called As The Worms Turn. I have a post there on spider mites and video too. Go and see if your questions are answered. If not email me and I will go into further detail.
How long are you …
How long are you going away for? Do you have anyone who could worm sit for you? If you do then they may be a good adoption family if you decide to quit. Putting them in the garden will mean certain death. Find a compost pile, manure, or leaf pile. A full fresh bin of moist bedding will keep your worms alive for quite a while as long as they don’t dry out. I need more information about how long you will be gone. Run an ad or find a teacher.

I have acarus, or mites, in my worm bin.
They don´t hurt the worms, I think, but they eat the food.
Do I have to get rid of them? How?
Thanks 4 your answers
Ok thanks!
Ok thanks!
I am starting a …
I am starting a worm bin, but I plan on going away for some time and will have no food to give to my worms. What can i do to keep them alive. also if i decide to stop worm composting what can i do with the worms? is putting them in the garden an option?
The newspaper in my …
The newspaper in my area uses soy based ink so no the ink is not harmful. The nightcrawlers would not do well in a worm bin. They are soil dwellers and like to burrow undisturbed.
yeah those are the …
yeah those are the only ones my store sells
Doesnt the …
Doesnt the newspaper ink contain harmfull stuff like i think it has led in it?
