Don't Forget This Critical Ingredient When Composting With Coffee Grounds
The fancy worm with teacup picture!! 😂😂 thank you for that😅
I use coffee grounds for when im going on a fishing trip , just replace the night crawers from the dirt they come in and replace with coffee grounds , two weeks before fishing trip , you will have the biggest crawers you have ever used.😊
I am in Deltona Florida. I just planted three pigeon pea start plants.
I have Muscadine Grape growing wild on my acreage in SE Florida.
please type name ingredients
I’m in Tallahassee and they are growing in my woods that really gets very little sun. Glad to know they’re Muscadine grapes and edible.😀
You’re the worm whisperer!
Andrew - Thank you for this video. I noticed someone mentioned the strength of your pump. I watched a channel from the Urban Worm Company (Steve Churchill - owner & Troy - the tea expert) and they stated that your air pump should produce at least 5 litres per minute of air output for a 5 gallon container. Also, a brew creates bacteria and fungi. The bacteria feed the protozoa. Also, 3 cups of worm castings, 1 TBSP of fish hydrolysate and 1 TBSP of humic acid per 5 gallon container to promote fungal activity. Also, never use an air stone because it is VERY difficult to clean properly which can create anerobic bacteria in your next brew. Have a blessed day Andrew! Anthony
Andrew - First time viewer to your channel. You are one well-spoken individual. Thank you for the wisdom. Have a blessed day!
Ahhhh sunchokes.... the love I may divorce... delicious, very healthy, a beautiful plant and easy to grow... BUT EXTREMELY INVASIVE. I have planted them in the ground and they spread like wildfire, even went out of the garden bed and under my driveway and destroyed some of it. So I am now trying to kill that area, first with herbicide and now smothering with 4 layers of thick plastic construction tarp covered with mulch... basically smothering them, we shall see how that goes. No you cannot just dig them up, impossible.... you will not get all the tubers. I am trying pots now, big pots, but they grow so fast I think the pots will crack open soon. I like this persons method, I think I just planted too many at once.... will try his plant one and harvest later.... good luck, let me know your method.
every morning 1 cup is not "quite a bit of coffee" I drink about 2 liters a day or 4 large mugs and that is "quite a bit"
Do you get maggots?
My experience with spent coffee grounds in composting is as a major source of green, Carbon-nitrogen ratio around 1:20, pH is 6-6.5 so ideal. Looked at cardboard as a major consistent source of carbon. But issue is time cost of sorting. So just use diversity of carbon; wood chip, spent hay, seasoned manures. Trick is break it down as much as you can, turn often at thermophilic stage (microbes heating) and introduce your physical composters after this to balance out the compost. Takes 6-12 months to make great compost. Half science, half commonsense. Bit like winemaking ?
Hello. I’m in south west Florida and have winter container garden plants and then have to change everything completely over to different set of summer heat tolerant plants. So my soil gets moved around a lot! Lately we've already been hitting temps that feel like its over 100 degrees in the shade. The garage is even hotter. Is it even feasible for me to do a worm bin down here? If so, how do you know how many worm bins to have for a backyard container garden? I would love to do this but not sure if I can.

Can you use honey instead of molasses?
Its the sugar! I use organic maple syrup... Black Strap molasses is the best, but until I get some at Walley World for this batch I used maple syrup... It is the sugar that the microbes eat and multiply...

After a couple years of frustrating tries to grow gandules I find the Lazarus dwarf variety of PR botanical garden of the UPR. (Compostapr you tube video on gandules) it give fruit twice a year. Until the cold kills the plant here in NC. I’m super happy with my gandules. This is my third year growing them!
I'm in south Texas, a bit north of Houston and we have muscadines growing here. Right now they're still very green and nowhere near being ripe.
Do the worms still multiply and breed during this process?
look just bury your food scraps in the ground instead of this bs
not the same thing at all
I used to make tea that grew fungi hair over the top of my soil. It looked like crystals growing and it stayed wet all the time like the layer of dirt had its own atmosphere 😂. I want to grow a big tub of dirt like shroom growers do with all that mycelium in it mixed with mycrohzea and all that in there too
My coffee dealer has been supplying me with about sixty litres of grounds a week for years it makes really good compost 👍
Excellent tutorial my good man, very concise and clear, I'm planning an earthworm endeavor and benefited from this presentation, so thanks!
Awesome . Ty
Dont warm your water in the microwave smh
Why not
@@GoGreenCompost radiation
What about using grounded up oyster shells for the grit? That is what I gave my chickens for grit.
Leviticus 11 applies.
How often do you feed the worms and what amount of worms in count should you have used for these bins shown? Also, when using cardboard, can you use the entire cardboard even if it has printed item on the cardboard, or do you have to cut that out?
Good questions. Should have been covered in the video.
In your thumbnail I thought you were Lemmy. LOL.
So are you pushing the top bucket down compressing the second bucket during bucket rotation or are you gently placing the top bucket on the second?
I just bought some pigeon pea seeds on Etsy . I am going to grow the trees for food and as a shade wall for my home here in Deltona Florida.Anxious to get some results.
Good luck!
My coffee grounds got moldy. Can I still use them? In my worms
yeah they won't mind
My coffee grounds have grown a mold on them. Are they safe to feed to my worms?
Could somebody tell me whether or not that would be harmful to my worms to give them coffee grounds that that have developed a mold I would really appreciate it. Thank you so very much.
I don't think they will mind
Hit like immediately after dune reference
😂
Would the worms survive the winter in the buckets? Would it be too hot during the summer?
I move them into my shed in the winter, and keep them in the shade during the summer
Will worms eat poo, like pig poo or horse poo or human poo?
I don't think that would be good for worms. You could compost fecal waste with black soldier flies
Thank you for the reply.
You can feed them composted manure. But I wouldn’t give them fresh manure.
@@GoGreenCompost specifically, I, personally, wouldn't put any feces in the worm bin. Compost bin? no problemo. But the bin that's just there to feed worms? no way. And it's not because it'dd hurt the worms, it's because it attracts too many things that are not welcome in a worm bin (house flies springs to mind).
Is it true that worms don’t like coffee grounds?
this has not been my experience. They're fine with coffee grounds (it's not their favorite food - that'd be fruit, generally - but they'll get to it, eventually)
I don't believe so
how close to your home can you plant a pigeon pea tree.
Boycott starbucks
I don't ever go there for coffee, but I'll still take their free grounds!
Fantastic video. I really appreciate the time and effort that you put into this.
Thanks! Happy composting 👍
I would have thought at the outset of your video that you'd counteract the acid in coffee grins by adding some lime. Reckon not.
just add some paper or cardboard
I think that’s what it is. PlantIn app identifies it as such also. I thought it was nettle and has taken over a vast plot in the backyard. I guess I’ll cautiously tough it and examine it closer now that I know it’s not stinging nettle. Thais app is really opening my eyes to world of plants.
I like pigeon peas better than the common garden pea.
At 1:40 Andrew mentions he used a 3/16 inch drill bit to make his holes.
Chick-fil-A will often have 5 gallon buckets leftover from their pickle chips.
perfect!
Great video best I have seen.
