Hey Jo, thank you for the sweet comment! I love worms too. And agree, they are such a huge part of a healthy earth. Thanks for commenting! God bless you

You’re not kidding about that! Last time I put a con in my bin they went nuts over it! Thanks for stopping by 😎

Hey, AJ! Thank you for noticing! They seem to be doing pretty good:)

Thank you sweet friend 🤠. How are things going in the garden?

Thank you very much! Appreciate you shopping by 🤠

Thanks, they loved it last time!

Hey Michael, I will keep that in mind going forward. Thank you for the contructive feedback! I know what you mean. It annoys me too, yet I do it! I'll try to be more mindful of this. Thanks again and I appreciate you watching

Actually, I like looking at the worms

@@mayshomesteadchronicles so glad you replied to him. I use the slider to speed things up but sometimes miss things -but also one can go to preferences (the gear wheel) and speed things up a bit.

@@mayshomesteadchronicles Don’t listen to that complaining a- b- lolol jkjk this was a year ago and I’m sure you don’t care now 🤣 anyways.. I’m sure some people don’t wanna spend hours and hours editing their content number one.. and number two, i watched every second of this video while waking my dog rn lol. Super excited to pick up my very first batch of red wigglers tomorrow.. and I actually _APPRECIATED_ seeing exactly what you did. I’ve seen a few informative videos but I’ve never done this before!!! People say something about, _”put this on that.. and that on this.”_ I have literally no clue what I’m doing! And I’m getting a little nervous about it 😂 never thought I would care so much about my pet wormies but here we are 🤣 So again, *THANK YOU* for showing every step and not editing anything out! I’ve never even handled red wigglers before.. so this video is actually extremely helpful and made me less anxious about bringing my lil guys home ♥️♥️♥️

@@evelynwoolston7 Me too, Evelyn :) Thanks for commenting!

I heard if you zap the dry oatmeal in the microwave it kills the eggs

I used to freeze my food scraps for a day or two to prevent pests.

You bet! Thanks for stopping by

Thank you! Yes, I soaked them over night in apple cider vinegar and then cooked them. This was leftovers from my families breakfast 🙂

Yes, I love to soak my oats in water/one table spoon of apple cider vinegar the night before eating them! Good stuff. I believe the oats in the video were some leftovers that were done this way. Thanks for watching/commenting. Great questions! Hope to hear from you again soon!

@@mayshomesteadchronicles hmmm interesting ill have to give them a shot as we as to my worms thanks.

Thanks for sharing, Evelyn! Banana peels and rinds seem to be a favorite for lots of different wigglers. I’ve noticed a similar response when I give mine the same. Happy worm composting!

Hey Wayne, that would be fine. I’ve thrown pibe shaving in my bin and they do fine with it so I don’t see why it would be a bad idea. Is it the same thing as pibe needles? P.s. thank you!

@@mayshomesteadchronicles yes pine needles and pine straw the same term / item in this area.

Sometimes, but more on top now. That’s where most of their activity is so it just makes sense to do it that way. However, either way works fine. The worms will find the food

Thank you, sir 🤠 How you been, Adrian?

@@mayshomesteadchronicles thank you I’ve been good, busy with the farm. I need to get on some editing to upload a couple more videos I have been working on. I need to catch up to you.

Hey Ali, yes, definitely want to keep them in the dark out of direct sunlight. Hope that helps

I have not, you just have to make sure that you keep a balanced amount of carbon materials. The metal bin is great for indoors!

@@mayshomesteadchronicles Once I overwatered. I tilted the bin and used the turkey baster to syphon off water.

I’m near Weatherford tx. I love using leaves. The worms love them.

I believe it's 12" wide, 18" long, and 6" deep. It's called a stainless steel steam pan. Thanks for stopping by !

Hey, thanks for reaching out. I released a video awhile ago where I combined the indoor worms with my outdoors worms. I have found that they do very well in their most natural habitat, nature! However, I am planning to eventually start a new indoor worm bin with some of the worms from my outdoor bin! Haha I enjoy indoor bins as well its just that at the time of moving, etc. and just being busy it made the most sense to keep them in my outdoor bin. Thanks for asking!

Hey! Well, my main goal is to have plenty of worm compost (aka castings) to where when I need compost for the garden it's readily available. My second goal is to just have fun 😊 These are some of the best pets you can own, well at least, the most practical in my opinion. Their bedding, food, etc is free, which makes worm composting such an economical hobby that gives back to you. I currently have 4 worm bins. 3 indoor bins and 1 outdoor. It's a lot of fun and at the same time sustainable. I love being able to use what would normally be trash and use it for food for the wigglers. Thanks for commenting.

@@mayshomesteadchronicles nice, we have similar goals! I grow cannabis and other plants, and I’m trying to develop a closed-loop, minimal labor method anyone call follow to grow the healthiest plants. When I started learning to grow I was overwhelmed by the industry pushing complex and expensive products, taking all the sustainability and harmony with nature out of the process. It’s good you have so many bins, it’s way better for your garden to use fresh manure right out of the bin. Agree, worms are amazing creatures.

​@@junoyouknow9360 how is your experiment going?

Indeed!

Avena!

Have you tried freezing your scraps before giving them to the worms? I’ve heard a lot of people say that this works. It can be tough keeping the flies out. Some people also use Diatomaceous earth. Good luck!

@@mayshomesteadchronicles actually, I just fed them frozen veggie smoothie cubes tonight. I hope they enjoy it! Thanks so much for the suggestion!

You can bury the feed or cover the bin with cardboard

Sounds like you’ve got some happy wigglers on your hands, Paul 😎 Thsnks for sharing what is going well for you! Happy vermicomposting 🥂

No it doesn’t! But I cook the oats that soak in vinegar so maybe that’s why?

Yes, especially since they were soaked an apple cider vinegar. Not sure why but they love it haga

@@mayshomesteadchronicles as long as their happy :)

@@deewormsvermicomposting I don't have oats so I guess I will try soaked bran..🤔🤔😊
