- Hi guys, let’s get ready for the Euros to arrive. Setting up their bins was exciting.
Here is an affiliate link so that you can purchase worms and other worm accessories. It doesn’t cost you anything extra but if you use the link I get a small commission and it helps me out. The link is for Meme’s worm farm and the Urban Worm Company, you’ll love the products including the worms. When I have my own worms for sale I’ll let you all know for now these worms are amazing. I also have my own website now. Thank you all☺️

I agree, we have to be careful about adding too much material that will heat up the bin. I was told a towel soaked in salt water placeon the sides of the bin helps to keep worms in. I haven't tried it yet because my worms don't like to wonder.
Thank you for the quick shoutout. Great job preparing this bin. 😎
That Brand of Manure is being all the GiNormous night crawler worms to my yard! Huge… they will probably thrive in there…
Great video! Can't believe I missed it in my notifications. That bedding mix is pretty amazing! So good to see your breeder bins get going🪱🪱🪱
Hi Worm Queen 🪱
You are right about AJ...he's a big recycler. So am I 👍 I just uploaded a short video on using shrimp 🍤 shells. I think you might add it to your worms 🪱
Great video 🌿💚🌿
Oooo I’ll have to go peek at your video😃
I have my own website now, go take a peek. Thegardenandwormlady.com
Bin prep is looking good. I like the shredded newspaper too. Helps keep cost down plus you get a chance to recycle it to the worms 🪱 for some castings 💩
Love your job! Still learning, but still a lot to learn.
It takes time and practice. You can do it.☺️
Great video.
I was telling a guy about your night crawlers. I don't want to say I lied to him but here in the South we get a little reckless with the truth lol he asked how big they were I told him I saw one that pulled a switchblade knife and took a rats cheese.
Haha :)
Can we add veggies and fruit scrap for them as a food source
Lol ok you can steal the shredder if it is for the worms.
😂 That’s exactly what I said😂
2 years later and now look at the price of peat moss
It’s ridiculous!!!
Hello, how deep are the grey tubs in your video? I think I have a few the same size but initially I thought they might be to shallow for ENC's.
I’ll measure tomorrow, I’ve raised euros and African worms in buns as small as 20x15x5 and they do awesome
Awesome, thanks for your time - appreciated.
I've subscribed
Use black kow manure. It doesn't have the wood products in it.
I do the Worms love it. I actually have a sack of it right now.
What's wrong with wood?
Can I use chicken manure pellets instead of rabbit? Not sure if I can get rabbit
Gonna keep looking. But I’ve ordered euros to come this week so looking at how to keep em
Chicken manure is a hot manure, which means you have to pre-composter before giving it to the Worms and heats up too much can kill them. If you can’t get rabbit manure, don’t worry about it I raised Worms for years before I actually got some.
I find some dead smaller skinny worms. Most are fat and healthy. Bedding: peat moss. Food: ground egg shell, paper towel,shredded paper, spinach, tea bags, coffee grounds, romaine lettuce,banana peel,ect. Don't check ph. Maybe its too acidic? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
It could be the acidity. Get yourself some dolomite lime. How big is your container? Get yourself a pH meter. The acidity should be 7, 6 is a little low but eight and above is way too high.
I would back off on the coffee grinds because they can be very acidic. Just give them that on occasion make sure your bedding is moist at all times.
Thank you.
Also do you use distilled water
No, I use regular water for my entire house has a special filter
Will they also eat Guinea pig manure
They eat every manure, but if it’s a manure, that’s gonna heat up your bin you need to compost it first
Nobody I know has any newspapers,
Oh no!
Hey just asking what's the Lowest temperature that I can grow these in bins...they will be in my garage...thnx
I’ve grown red wigglers in about 32°F but they were slow. So anything above that to mid 80’s
@@TheGardenAndWormLady hey that's Zero degrees Celsius...here I get down to zero but day time maybe 15 degrees Celsius also I'm stating with 500 breeders so what might I end up with in 1yr u think...thnx..luv the channel
@@paulsoutbackgardenaustrali7674 you can end up with a lot of worms if you divide them as you go. Divide the cocoon.
Shhhh the Alaskan ice worms are sleeping 😴 💤
😂
❤🌸🌺🌹🪱🌹🥀❤️
How many breeders do you put in a bin? Thanks
Red wigglers 250
European 150
African night crawlers 50
Louisiana swamp worms 250
@@TheGardenAndWormLady thank you Garden Lady. that was very helpful. I have some EURO'S breeding now and I'm gonna start a breeder bin like your do. I'm gonna start raising my fish bait. I love your video!!!...
Do you have a formula for how much bedding for 1 lb of euros
I would mix about five or 6 inches of peat, moss or coconut coir, about a tablespoon of dolomite lime, another type of grit, like play sand or egg shells I would say about a teaspoon make sure it’s very moist. Do that a day or two before you put them in. If you maintain good moisture, your European a Crawlers will stay fat.
What kinda lime do you use? Thanks
Dolomite lime
I notice you don't wear gloves but most of the worm videos I see have people wearing gloves. Yes, I'm a newbie. Is there a reason others wear gloves?
I wear them occasionally, it’s just a personal preference. When I touch my phone a lot sometimes I put them on but it’s just a pain in the butt taking them on and off. Plus I just love feeling them/temps
Not sure why you have to spend all this money on a worm bin. I just use leaves, cut grass, and organic matters. Doesn't cost me anything and it works great.
Because I have it indoors inside my house. When I do it outside, I use anything outside.
