Worm bins are so simple to keep alive, they don’t stink, they don’t
smell, they are easy to feed, and the castings known as vermicompost
are so good for your garden. I go through a few myths of worm bins, and
my experience after 1 year.

I notice no one is talking about keeping the temps decently cool as they don’t like heat. I use togo nightcrawler at night as a kid hunting and I noticed that they were pulling blades of grass into their holes… plus meeting on the surface to mate. Just a bit of FYI
I love my worms! Don't have much trash going to dump and that makes me feel great for my sake, my kids and grandkids. I want to hear more about putting citrus in. I've been told never to do it. How many oranges/lemons can I put in at a time? Thanks, Maria
It's all about Ph. Worms like neutral to slightly acidic soil. You can feed them any organic matter. You just have to keep the ph stable and in range.
How do u seperate the compost if its one bin?
But didn't you say in your first video when u set it up to not give them citrus? Because acidity level?
And they also love unions and meat and dairy procucts!
Is it ok to use rice hull as beddings?
Save and dry out your orange, lemon, lime, and grapefruit skin. Once dry, put them in a blender and make your own zest. It is a wonderful spice and shelf life is fantastic.
Can you feed the worms unfinished compost from your compost bin?
I don't give worms cardboard stuffs, onions, garlics for them only veggies, fruits, & dry leaves. The soil smell nice…
How full should the bin be? Worms + castings, etc. … How many inches deep is too deep? In southern states, would it be okay to split some worms off & let them live in my compost pile?
Hey Luke.
Iv had worm bins for years. It has mot always been successful. Took me a while to learn to listen to my worms and let them tell me what was needed. After watching your vidio here. It's almost exactly what I do. Blend the food. Don't dig around feed once a week. The only thing I do different is when I feed I put a had full of shredded brown cardboard in the pocket I dig. Then I put the food on top of this, then I cover back over. Next week I feed on the opposite side. By the time I come back to the first side all the cardboard is gone.
Thanks Warren.
Great video! Very upbeat and you have a lot of good advice!
How often do you feed them?

Your worms dont seem very lively…
Are these Wigglers or Crawlers?
Do you have drainage holes in the bottom?
A simple solution for the citrus peals is to get rid of the oil, by boiling them to make a nice repellant for your plants, ones you use them like that you, can put the peals in the compost bin and the worms will be able to eat them
You blend the food but not the rinds from the oranges? The reason you shouldn't feed citrus to worm bins is because it raises the PH in the bin making it a poor environment for the worms. What's the PH in your bin?
woooooow the level of handsomeness
I know this is old, but I hope someone might know… How full can the bins be? It looks to me like the red bin is 1/4-1/3 filled. I'm as interested in producing worms for my poultry as I am in fertilizer, so a fuller bin appeals to me.
What do you think about adding some mowed grass to the worm bin if we don’t add any fertilizers to it. It’s basicly weeds.
Love watching your channel. I like the seeds that I've bought from you.
I know this is a older video but I am new to worm composting. Living in the northeast ( Jersey) would you recommend keeping them indoors being as we can get some nasty wet and cold and snowy winters? Or going through the labor of moving them in before the temp drops?
Thanks I appreciate any help or advice stay safe
Hi, I have one question how come they don't escape through these holes ??
OOOooo..gourmet worm food! Ty. My compost pile is cold and full of worms…love this
