Thank you

If you don't have plywood, use uncoated cardboard from a box and hold it down with rocks/bricks to keep it from blowing away 🙌🏽

I learned something from another video today. Some guy made compost. And he added some molasses to it. It blew my mind how many worms was in his tiny compost pile. Apparently worms love sugar. They eat the banana peelings first because bananas have a lot of sugar in it (I think). I made the worm trap as Living Earth Systems suggested but (since I don't have molasses) dissolved some sugar in my first watering. Lets see how it'll turn out. If it's not working with sugar, I might get a jar of molasses. You don't need much.

Might only squeeze in a whole over ripe banana.

Virtual Outburst I can’t follow him he goes from bucket to bucketloads bucket. Nothing in order.I feel like he’s permoting his class.

@@hermannschmitt4031 Hi Hermann : ) Just incase you're interested, worms love (and eat) BaCTeRia and YeAsTs ... and BaCTeRia land YeAsTs Love sugars!! (if ever you've made bread you might remember feeding the bread-makers yeast some sugars as part of the recipe). Pretty cool, hey!

​@@SimonWoodburyForget And what about monkeys?

So they ate a hole in it?

Thanks I was thinking of something like this cause I noticed a ton under our trash can the other day but am just now decided to harvest so going to try and make this happen on purpose. I been wanting for a while but they were pricey and the. I thought geez sent they just living out there. 🧐😂

I've been doing this for years and I love it I call it composting in place and if I need worms to start an indoor bin before the winter I know where to look for them....

Did the bucket have holes in the bottom to let worms in?

So your saying that I should put a hole at the bottom and let it rain with the top off

Growing up my father had his compost piles at the top of the garden with the heavy feeders in the first 2 - 3 rows.

I thought you couldnt use bait worms in a compost pile?

Exactly, I was waiting to see that part 😂

Awesome tip!

I watched it 4 times and took notes the last time. 2 buckets... these are the steps I think: 1) collect local leaves in 3 gallon bucket with holes in bottom and soak in water overnight. Also soak a bundle of mustard greens. 2) add native soil from garden and some wet paper towels on top. 3) add soaked mustard greens to top the leaves. 4) soak up the water from the mustard green buckets using paper towel or news paper and place on top (same bucket) 5) fill second bucket with more leaves and more soaked paper towel/newspaper. 6) squish leaf bucket on top of compost bucket and place both buckets where worms are. 7) water every other day and check it in 2 weeks to see bundle of worms. 4)

Make sure there are holes in the bottom.

Laminated cardboard with molded coffee seems to work ?

I would say yes. Don't know why not since he didn't give any reasons why it had to be mustard greens.

NO! Just throw any waste vegetables in the bin and you will have the same result. Worms eat rotten vegetables seating in moist dirt and shady area.

Worms will process most things. I think it's just gotta be dead organic matter. My feral niece dug up a pet chicken's bones for some reason and found a huge ball of worms where the deceased bird had been laid to rest. I hear that worms love eggs, but they even gobbled up the feathers. Everything but the bones from what my feral sister said. What's with these women collecting dead stuff? The garden plot was at least 20ft away from the defiled grave. She left the hole and the marker for the next casualty. The tree over the grave has grown twice as fast as the ones closer to the garden.

Through the holes in the bottom.

Yes, They will never hurt eachother so they would be good roomates, however they will eat eachother when they are dead.

If it is low sodium.

Marcus hot wheels cara

Too much water, dry it a bit, maggots would reduce

That’s black soldier fly larvae I have millions of them and they are better eater

Candy George; Do your containers have holes in the bottom? The wirms climb up through the holes from the ground where you set the bucket down..

Candy George ... remember, you're looking to catch worms (as opposed to caterpillars) and worms eat ROTTING vegetable matter as opposed to fresh (not yet decaying) matter. Perhaps the scraps still need time to become sufficiently inoculated by bacteria and yeasts etc to rot down as - contrary to what a lot of people believe (that 'worms eat our garbage',) it's actually BACTERIA, FUNGI, tiny NEMATODES etc that eat our garbage and the worms we are after will come to eat them!! Try inoculating the organic 'bait' matter you have put out with some bacteria etc by mixing in some leaf litter (esp if its got some white mold growing on it also) THAT HAS BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE SOIL )AND HAS STARTED DECOMPOSING. (that is, add 'leaf mold') Good Luck ... hope this helps!

He lives in Hawaii, so the weather there is the same all year round. I saw in another video that worms don't like it when it's too hot or when the soil is completely soaked.

I found it helpful to watch it again and take notes. It made a lot more sense when you pause it to write down the steps!

You'll be surprised. If you saw me me worm, more may come if there's food and moisture.

Have you tried doing a deep mulch of something organic? Worms need at least one layer of something moist to crawl around in since they can’t dry out or be exposed to the sun. I put down cardboard and about 5 inches of wood chips last fall and now I have lots of worms. They love eating the cardboard and the woodchips hold on to the rain for a really long time.

Yes very curious about mustard greens. I've never seen them in a market here in California either. I asked at our local farmer's market and they've never grown or seen them either!

This is how to get worms, but the worms will compost what is in the bucket.
