Today's video is about the main components to our compost/worm food: wood chips. See how we take free wood chips and turn them into worm food. Follow along for more compost related videos and how we feed our worms.

We get 22 yards of arborist wood chips from our municipality for free delivered once or twice a year. We have no naked soil on our half acre property anymore! The transformation has been incredible. I sift wood chips for my worm farms on a much smaller scale than you, but I agree that they are a tremendous bedding for worms. I don't know about the specific fungal balance, but I know the wood chips are fungal dominant. ~ Sandra

I do use some dried manure. Cow, horse, bunny and goat. I tell my customers that my worms only eat manure from the friendliest farm animals in town. But I do use all the other stuff you use.

You promised a video with the new compost shaker. Any update on that?

"seems to be an endless supply of woodchips" is not promising. It is not sustainable also. Woodchips are from trees that need to be cut down because of hazards that are created by men - much worst than peat bog source. No one can justify there is an endless amount of trees (your words "seems to be") nor you can plant seedlings quick enough to grow it to trees you can make wood chips off. Please, I need to understand if I am wrong.

I say take it because it is already cut, but don't rely on woodchips - chip to compost because you do not have any more bedding. On the reverse, relying on woodchips as a standard process is not sustainable for your business. You should have alternatives.
