Im not sure if anyone else in the comments has mentioned it, but you might want to consider collecting the runoff from your bin's drain holes. That's worm tea and awesome fertilizer.

@IowaKeith 5 ай бұрын

I know this video is quite old, but if you simply feed them your food and plant scraps, you wont need to worry about PH. Worm castings are ph neutral, and those types of worms are called composting worms. Most people who are into vermicomposting use those exact same worms. The worm poop (castings) are very valuable to gardeners. We call it black gold. Hopefully you are still running your worm farm and things are going good for you.

Great info Thanks for sharing. I'm new to Tennessee and last two night saw literately hundreds maybe even a thousand worms all over our property and tons were mating. Big worms but I am not sure what type they are. If I were to harvest some to start farming them how does someone harvest them and sell them to bait stores?

@marshallhurt8814 8 жыл бұрын

Them worms you see at night are probably night crawlers.I would bet a shoebox and gather up as many worms as you can.Then do what I do in the video it will work for that worm too.If you are wanting to do worms for bait shop you are going to have a bigger trough.Not sure what all you are going need to sell worms. You probably need a license to sell.Hope that helps you out.Thanks for stopping by to check out my video.

Hi Marshall, that's a fantastic worm farm. Do you have any problems with ants when adding food to the top of the worm farm? Here in Perth Western Australia, we have ants that sometime are a real nuisance. I tend to put the food under the soil so that there is less likelihood of the ants taking over.

@marshallhurt8814 8 жыл бұрын

I had a ant problem when first started the worm farm .When I was just use potting soil.Then when I put peat moss with the potting soil the ants haven't been back. I do have litte frogs that get in the worm farm. They mit be eating the ants not sure ,but have not seen any ants. I is cool you live in Australia .One day I would love to vacation there.It look very nice there.Hope that helps you out .Thanks for checking out my video and my worm farm.

@marshallhurt8814 8 жыл бұрын

Thought of one more I did sprayed bug spray around the outside bottom of the water troff. So it would keep the ants from coming from the ground up.Dont spray in side the worm farm it will kill the worms. Thanks again for stopping by.
