- Each chamber was filled with a different type of bedding material: Chamber #1 had leaves, #2 had cardboard, and #3 had paper. Then in went the red wiggler composting worms. Periodically water and grit (pulverized eggshell) were added. Also, as needed, additional material was loaded in when the levels dropped low. ENJOY!

this helped me visually realize just how difficult it is to break down paper and cardboard, despite them being biodegradable. we don't appreciate decomposers enough for their work
Hot composting is way faster but requires nitrogen rich material as well
Well i mean
Really the decomposers are just eating extra tough food
Its kind of a reward in and of itself
Yes agreed.
Worms are probably the most under appreciated animal out there, they help break down materials while simultaneously rotating the topsoil.

The ice part is stressing me out. Is it for hydration only?? Or does it also cool down? So they wouldn't have a worm heat stroke c:
@@xXFlashXx3 i thought it was to simulate how rainwater keeps worms cool while also hydrating them, because they dont have morning dew for wetness or the sun to dry them they still need water

Cut them in half and you've got two worms.

Look into no - dig garden beds and the worms can remain to help you maximise the yields.

I did your those to recycle some scraps in trash can and later I found no trash can and the worms started breaking down my home.
Would love to have seen a fourth compartment with greens like food scraps and fresh mowed grass for comparation
Very interesting at how they were able to convert the waste into nutrient rich composted soil, and the constant adding of water eith a stable release method, "in ice". Very efficient little creatures.
i'm very happy i was able to see this in my life time.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Please check my channel for other similar time-lapse videos. Thank for watching!

It's the algorithm moving views to smaller channels so Google can pay bigger channels less money.
Well, this I do know and try my best not to think about it. Each "like" AND "dislike" on video recommendations, forms a pattern that is unique to each of us. Then the algorithm analyzes that pattern and we get a worm video that we both watched from beginning to end.
It's so cool that you can actually see them lay eggs in the second half!! Love it. I've had a worm bin before, worms are the freaking best
Where?
Yes! I’ve also found that species affects behavior. Canadian night crawlers (fishing worms lol) act like puppies! They love attention and will wave to you sometimes like “hello my favorite human is here!” (They will be okay if you don’t talk to them like I did but they seem to prefer it)
I’m hoping to get some more soon as unfortunately my last two batches died due to temperature. The first set was accidental greenhouse, the second was “it’s too expensive to run the air conditioner even though it’s 96 degrees outside and you literally told me your worms would die” on my parents’ end.
@@StarlightEdith you sound like a woman
Earthworms are so cool. I used to play with them lots as a kid when it rained. The great thing about this you got free compost and free worms for fishing, the remains with which you get more compost and thus more worms.
These kinds of videos might genuinely be the best way to educate people about littering and pollution
Why ice?
To keep the worms cool under pressure. They had a camera watching their every move for 100 days after all!

Excellent info here! I think I'm going to use more leaf material in my bins! Info I've read online is totally false they said it takes longer for leaf material than cardboard... you are the worm myth buster!
Pero las hojas tienen más nitrógeno que el papel. Es por eso que composta más rápido.
@@Korsan977 es porque las hojas son más digeribles. El papel es pura celulosa, o sea, pura fibra insoluble.
@@rajinfootonchuriquen Es verdad que por los enlaces beta 1-4 del polisacárido es complicado obtener los monómeros de glucosa pero no tiene nada que ver la "digestibilidad" con la solubilidad de la celulosa.
I believe it is healthy to mix. Adding a bit of everything. Then turn it over. But, if your goal is to compost. You don't want bins in the first place. You want net cages or similar that can bring in a lot of oxygen to the soil. You want the bacteria to work more than the worms. Because bacteria process the material far faster and more effectively.
@@Helveteshit I'm not new to composting or worm vermicomposting . I think you're missing the point of this video he made. It's to study worm behavior in different types of material. My worms break down material way faster than any compost pile will. In this video he isn't feeding any vegetables and the bins don't have a full population of worms yet. Once they breed an army they can take down a huge amount of material in very little time
To think you'll end up as their food as well...

The worms crawl in ...
The chickens in the backyard will be very happy to see those worms
It's amazing the difference in color of the castings. The paper bin looks like sawdust and the cardboard is tan color while the leaves are much darker castings
The worms in the far left section definitely grew bigger faster. Even though cardboard and paper are biodegradable, it does not look yummy on the worms’ diet. 😅
Cellulose cant be digested easily, specially from industrial products
Which is why we should make a super worm that can!
it's basically pure carbs. you don't get too far with that.

Why not consider a “ green” burial. Basically you just turn unto soil with no chemicals etc. Google it!🤓😷🇨🇦
Woah lots of criticism! 😂 I started composting at the beginning of this year and I really enjoyed watching the comparison of leaves breaking down compared to the cardboard. I’m actually looking forward to autumn now so I collect all that carbon! Leaves will have so much more nutrients than card for my veggies next year. Thank you to whoever made this video!

@@pedrof3364I have a Darlek bin and add fruit and veg scraps, garden scraps, autumn leaves, paper and cardboard. It’s all a learning process and varies depending on your climate. Most beginners don’t add enough ‘browns’, so that’s the leaves, paper and card. I’ve learned a ton from a group called Keep Calm and Make Compost in Facebook

Alright. There’s a thing called ‘Siri’ on Apple mobiles. It’s like Alexa. So, I asked ‘Siri’ the lifespan of earthworms and it came up with 1100 days or 36 months. This person thought the soil would just be shits and corpses when in reality only a year had went by, therefore it is unlikely that many earthworms died as they usually can live longer.
Edit: you probably don’t use Apple, do you? Which may explain why you were so confused
Nice! Please more of that!

Did you know that worms are equally as important to us than bees and other pollinators? Without them, we dead.
Exactly. It should be something that's taught to us in grammar school but isn't
@Daniel Scotton not everyone is american
@Daniel Scotton Wikipedia page in my native language says the opposite so I think I believe that more than your opinion. And how on earth speeding up the decompose can be harmful in any way? The faster sth gets recycled, the better for the environment. Also, introducing air into the soil has actually very beneficial means for the rooting systems and other fungi (they get more nitrogen and thus grows faster). P.s. Plants don't need organic matter to grow...
Earthworms are good for grasslands but not for any other biome
This is great! Proves that worms prefer natural material over processed. My 8' x 4' bin was started with very aged horse manure and leaves from the yard. I feed once a week. I can't wait for the weather to warm and the population to explode. Keep posting the videos! These really help me unwind from a hard day. Thanks for making these. Can't wait to see your next time-lapse!
Not at all. You wouldn't last on only french fries ;) Worms don't like single food source as well. Leaves and grass clippings give off both carbohydrates and aminoacids. Cardboard and paper don't have much of those. There's sulfur and nitrogen deficiency. So... mixing cardboard and paper with food scraps is brilliant and red wigglers would love that. Giving them only paper isn't particularly good idea.
Wow, you just filmed 100 days of footage. Kudos to you. 😯
That's a bunch of happy little worms.
Cool to see worms can composte even paper/cardboard products
Really enjoy your time lapses! Thanks for creating and sharing. 👍

Fantastic video with clear evidence of the leaves being consumed faster than the cardboard and paper! Can't wait to see how this fully ends and you see how the worms come out!
In the near future I'll unload the container and examine the contents.

I don't if you added ice purposefully, but it helps in two ways.
1. It adds necessary moisture to Worms to breakdown food/organic waste.
2. Heat releases while worms decomposing food. Heat may stack up reaches 50°C or more eventually kills worms at bottom.
I love your time lapse videos!! Great work!
