after 1000 worm videos this is the first one that actually explains a little about what a worm is.
Partner what I absolutely can't stand in a youtube video is people talking about everything except what there video title is. You have restored some of my faith back in youtube. You stayed on topic and provided good and relevant information. I sure hope you're still around and making them. Well done Sir, I salute you.

Freamon how to build ingrown wormbed
Learning so much today!
Should be 100 WAYS to raise worms,,,smashing out the information here,,thanks matey.
I am a worm farmer too, and always love to learn every day.
Thanks bro
All the Best from Australia
Marty Ware
I found this channel through yours just a few minutes ago.
Cool@@uglyweirdo1389
haha I found you here too. :)
I just ordered a couple thousand red works looking to raise them for my chickens and fir local feed stores. This video has provided a lot of insight on how I’m going to set up my worm bed and proper care for them. I really enjoyed it. Thanks from North Carolina
Since your using them for feed. It’s best not to over crowd them otherwise they won’t breed.
I started my worm breeding a little while ago and in the last few months I've been watching a lot of videos about. This was one of the best I've seen, greetings from Brazil.
Thank you
(JOE PERA-Talks with you) brought me here. And I'm glad he did.
Secret Zombie same!!!!! also worms are cool too!
Me too! Glad more people are like me
I'm So Glad I'm Not the Only one who's here from Joe Pera!!
I Was Wondering how Many of those Clips from His Internet Videos Episode of Joe Park Talks with you were REAL!
Great video. I've got no intention to start a worm farm, I'm busy with my beekeeping. I still found this very informative and entertaining. What I don't understand is how 387 people disliked this video....what the hell were they expecting!? Or more likely, competing worm farmers. :P
Thank you for this very thorough introduction to raising worms. My 8Yo grandson wants to start a worm business. Yours is the first informational video we have watched that explains the proper way to raise worms. We plan on watching all the videos you have posted. Thanks again and we look forward to ordering worms from you soon.
I tell ppl to water half their beds to make sure they dont over water. Worms will have a place to go if u watered that half too much. Love ur vids
Brilliantly simple
1. Physiology: they breath through their skins, so they don't "drown" and need air in the container, but are very sensitive to acid. They are both male and female, so mate themselves, and give out golden eggs.
2. Bed: Drill holes and put some wet sands at the bottom, so the compost doesn't drop out.
3. Worms: Get compost worms (not dirt worms)
4. Bedding: not too wet or dry, you can use compost, coco coir.
5. Pest control: make your beds of solid material and raised. Use pure crushed dolomite (limestone not hydrolysed or chemically treated) to keep ants and flies out. Centipedes eat your compost
*6. Feeding and watering: Don't over-feed your worms = only enough that would be eaten in a few days, and only water lightly, to keep like chocolate cake.
Good comment but definitely watch the video too, lots more information.
@Joe Thanks, I'll keep an eye open for that.
@Joe maybe use egg shells?
You must have had a bad day. Come here and I'll give you a hug!
HA HA HA HA what a JOKE
Joe Perra led me here
Greg, thank you so much for your videos and sharing this essential knowledge.
Also, I went ahead and ordered 5k worms from your site, I must say I am impressed. i had been getting worms from Uncle Jim's for a while, and the ones from you are literally 3 times as big, and arrived safe and sound in the 90 plus degree North Carolina summer.
Please keep up the good work!, you are saving the world!
Their biology is fascinating. I’m thinking of possibly doing this with my kids this year. I think it would be fun for them!
Great idea!
your kids would definitely love to live in a worm bed... just dont over feed them, over water them and keep them out of the light. and give them a little crushed lime too...i'll keep the bugs off ... LOL!!!
@@randolphwhitworth8302 LOL! ;-)
Just a year or two into becoming a certified organic farmer, my father in law was trying to cultivate black beans. But he would drive a few feet, and see that he must be catching the edge of the plants, because black beans were shaking loose all over the ground. When he got out to inspect, he discovered he wasn't seeing black beans on the ground
They were worn holes - dozens and dozens per square ft. The health of his field had returned so much, the worms returned in mass numbers. One of the best harvests ever. When in doubt, study what Mother Nature is doing. She (and insects and other animals) will always tell you what's going on and how YOU should react/adapt
This really makes me smile. I'm reminded of my grandpa's so much. In the fifties and the City my grandpa put a refrigerator down in the ground. He put holes with screening like you did. When he wasn't working he was fishing. He had nightcrawlers red worms any kind of worm he threw in there. When other people were done fishing, he would ask them what are you doing with your worms. And he would end up with everybody elses worms. The lid fit tight so there was no escapes and nothing getting in.
Awesome!
HEAVENBOUND Homestead. . The ice box all the way in the ground? Like tornado shed?
@@RodeoCowgirl-55 Yes all you could see was the lid from the ground. The rest of it was deep inside. It stayed the right temperature that the warms needed. It was pretty neat for a twelve-year-old girl. Fishing and hunting was his get away through the depression and a way to feed his family. I liked feeding them. Some damp newspapers on the top, Banana peelings and a few other scraps. I was amazed when the next day a lot of it would be eaten. It was like feeding the invisible Critters. Lol lol
Blessings in safety to you in your family
Hi Mr. Greg. I just ordered my 1st 5000 worms from your site.. Im soos excited. I've been learning so much from you. Keep up the good work👍
Worm Gandalf is my favorite!!!
The Most informative.
I absolutely admire and appreciate the information.
Down to earth; that's where we are headed.
Who knew right away from just seeing this guy he was a worm master.
No
He looks like he may know a lot about mushrooms
And all a worm is is a mouth and a arsehole
@@Yahwehs-Soldier Mouth, anus, simple digestive system, reproductive system, nerve cluster "brain", etc. Every animal is incredibly complex
Thank you sooo much my little sister collected worms from the garden and I’m just trying to keep them alive because god knows I don’t want to have to explain that they died to her.

I usually ad lib well and don't do well with script but I was trying to cover a lot of material and having problems with my camera (that's why I re-shot a scene in the log barn) and was suffering from sleep deprivation - so my focus was off. I did notice I was repeating a bit too much after I watched the myself later. Sorry about that. I'll try to tighten in in future videos. I have already also shot a lot of material on microgreens and on my greenhouse that I have yet to post. Hard to find time to edit and process.
I actually had notes for that video and I found using them to be awkward as I was trying to film. That was one of my key problems. No more notes.
Green Gregs finally someone who knows his stuff. I just got some worms for the fun of it. Watched a lot of videos and made bedding of peat moss and feed them purina worm chow. They seem to like it but mu worm chow molds in 24 hours. So every day i have to throw out molded chow. What about mold problem?
it's all good,,,,i'll take content over performance any day...ants dont like wood stove ash,,i mix mine with semi used charcoal,,,charcoal barried in ground will keep termites away from wood structures also,,,they just dont like carbon char,or the lye in the ash(too alkaline),,,around---not in,,they use this technique in hawaii where termites are insane,,,,,for dryer areas-D,E, diatomatious earth---again ,around -------not in
Green Gregs ......i love your videos and think you’re the most knowledgeable on CZcams when it comes to worm care. I have a question on the dolomite that I hope you can answer. I don’t want to kill my worms by using the wrong product, are you familiar with Amazons Power Grow Dolomite? It claims it’s pure but before I purchase it I’d like to get your ok. Anyway, thanks for the advice on the food, I started not giving so much food and my bin looks better than ever.
Green Gregs where can I order your worms from , I’m in eastern tn
This is the first video of yours I've seen, but you're the man, Greg! Thanks.
Thank you Sir... I'm digging worms up here in Alabama . And trying to get em to keep for my chicks. But they keep dying .. And that's how I found you.
And yes. I will subscribe and follow all your advice .
Again. Thank you
I was 9 years old when my Mother decided that she wanted to get worms. Then she wanted an automated feed system so she made it my job to feed the worms. To assist me in the operation 24 Rabbits were installed, so then I had Rabbit food processors to keep fueled and Worms to keep up. So after a couple of years of splitting beds, and wondering why my Rabbit population exploded I had about 60 4x8 beds. Between chickens, hogs, cows, horses and the garden I had no more room for beds. I had know idea what I was doing but by the time I got to high school I had worm castings in 15 foot tall 60 feet long piles and I was running out of room. One day this little Japanese guy comes walking into the yard and asks what I planed to do with all this stuff. I told him if he wanted it just get it out of here. He said he couldn’t just take it, that he had to pay me
something, I got enough to buy my very own Pickup. Then I went into the Marine Corps.
Sounds exciting, you must have a doctorate from home university in animal farming.
That’s awesome and a great way to grow up!
How did you use rabbit poopers?
Absolute Bot rabbit poop is a great fertilizer for the garden!
giving that stuff away. you would be a crayon eater.
I am new and was told to raise worms. And just started gardening. I am glad to find you. 🌸☮️🌹I will be back again
Got my 5000 worms from you today brother. Started 4 plastic totes. Got them mounted above my compost bin. I support Global Worming.
i wish this guy was my neighbor
sweetredification thinking the same thing or an Uncle.
@@SouthFloridaSunshine Me too; would love to live in his neighborhood.
Meeee tooo
The Uncle Junior of mob worms!
Do you though?.....do you?
Fantastic video!
I always thought the whole system of setting them up in a mess of shredded paper didn't seem right. I'm new to worms, a couple months in, and use a mix of compost and goat manure and they are thriving so far!
Looking forward to watching your other videos! 👍
Thank goodness a real teacher. Practicing and telling it. I have made all the mistakes he was talking about. So appreciate your time and work.
Hi Gregg, I live in the desert where sometimes my home humidity monitor says 16% but “it’s reading doesn’t go any lower”. I ordered from another supplier before I found you. 😢 I decided that I needed one that they promote as being one you can keep in your house where it is cool and out of the sun. I purchased worms and two complete worm bins with stackable trays that I could add this concoction of paper, volcanic rock, vegetable kitchen waste, etc.. What a mess! The red wrigglers were escaping! I was spritzing the newspaper covering on the top tray, I had nats every where! We do aquaponics on a very small scale in a sunroom so I had to move it out there...then I removed them from the beds to my outside gardens and the rest I put in the aquaponics beds. I know the nats came from a bed being too wet, but I was only spritzing the dry upper layer and the news paper covering...It was too much work and trouble, now the expensive stackable worm towers that I purchased are cleaned up and in the garage wrapped in garbage bags waiting for a new use someday... Do we need to raise our own or can we just purchase them and add them to our gardens? I also don’t know which worms are best for different needs. I know the Red Wigglers are great for composting but which would be for both composting and fishing worms? Thank you for your videos, I learn so much from you!!!
Sounds like you have too much food in those beds!
My grandfather used to feed his worms used coffee grounds in an old washing machine drum barred in the dirt with 4 inches above the ground and in the shade. They got big and hard. He had a white painted metal lid and would put a concrete block on it.
Thank you for that! I have a washing machine drum and have been trying to find a use for it! This is perfect!
I was just checking out worm bins on line for castings for my garden. This is perfect.
Awesome!
your the only one I've seen on here that does what there supposed to do thank you will be watching all you videos
Ive seen alot of vids but this guy says it raw. Learned more here than the rest ive seen. Thumbs up
New subscriber. And just ordered 2250 worms from you. I’ve raised red wigglers in the past so I’m looking forward to getting back into it. Great videos, Greg
Awesome! Welcome to my channel and thank you for ordering!!!
So paper and cardboard are NOT good base bedding materials?
No doubt the most informative video on raising worms on the internet.
Joel Harris Do you send worms to Hawaii? I'm not sure what kind of worms I bought. They were hard to get. Amazon would not send to Hawaii.
here from joe pera talks with you, this video is awesome!
for every (1) year peat moss is mined,it takes (120)years to re-grow,,(it filters and purifies the earths ground water),,coconut coir ,how ever is renewable,,,don't know if worms will like it though...i like peat also,for my garden,,,it seems easier than coconut coir,but ' am trying to be more eco friendly......so glad you're actually an expert,,not just a vid' maker...learned more in 30 minutes than have in years of people talkin' out their wahzoo,,thanks brother farmer....i'm gonna try plastic 55gal olive oil/wine shipping barrels ,,,cut in half,w/drain holes,,,left over from garden attempt,,,already use in various ways for composting and compost covers(experimental phase)
Greg I have a small vermicompost and love that you put this video out thanks I’ll keep in touch you keep it up ..
Just placed an order for worms. Looking forward to adding these to my food raising scheme.
Ive been doing worm farming without even realising it.
I have a market garden and csa scheme.
Im surrounded by cattle farms. They deliver thier shed waste of manure and straw in the spring each year. Big piles, 8 ft high.
I just cover the piles with tarp and leave it. By autumn the piles are pure worm castings.
If i have to take some out part through the year, the top looks just like your bin and the worms are all in a layer between the castings and manure.
By about october the worms are gone and a small 2.ft. pile of pure gold is left behind.
This is how i grow anything from melon to garlic on otherwise useless grass land that was drowned in nitrate for 60 years.
Oh wow! You must be near Scottsboro! I'm near Chattanooga! Hi neighbor and thank you for the video. :) my worms arrived tomorrow for my garden beds and I came to watch to learn more so I don't kill them.
Thank you for the information. I have a bucket setup which is packed full of food scraps. This video is going to be very helpful for us going forward. Going to work on a bigger bin and stop burying them in food scraps. Looking forward to more worm related videos.
Enough moisture and the more you feed them the more they will multiply. They are hemaphrodites. The worm beds are very friendly for them. Great job. keep on posting. i love your videos.
“Joe Pera Talks With You” brought me here.
I’m happily surprised that this is a real channel.
Found you from Joe Pera! I fell in love with your genuine enthusiasm and knowledge on worms! Keep up the good work! God bless! 🤍
This guy is awesome! Tired of paying through the nose for worms. there is only one bait shop left in my area and he has taken advantage of that fact by raising prices drastically. I'm now going to start raising my own thanks to Green Gregs!!
Great video, very informative. It is difficult to find a good educational video here how to raise worms. Took me awhile to sort through the BS videos when I started with my bins. This one is one of the best so far. I'm looking forward to seeing your method of sorting the castings. Keep up the great work. Love your channel. :)
Thank you - that will be covered in a future episode! Be sure to click the notification bell!
Love your teaching! VERY informative, thank you!
Best information video on worms I have found bar none! Wish I could take this guy fishing!
This is the kind of guy that I know he could be 10 years old and I could be 20 and if he said I’ve got 10 years of experience I would listen to him he seems like the kind of guy that picks up knowledge twice as much as everyone else he’s so knowledgeable
MUCHO INFORMATIVE!!
Just ordered my 5000 on PayPal, Mr. Greg!
Great talking to you on the phone. After watching your vids I feel MUCH more confident that I won't kill this batch.
Thank you sir!
people trying to make money doing something highfalutin and im watching bee and worm videos lol
codemiesterbeats hahaha. Same!
That makes you genuinely awesome!
Highfaleuting😂😂 ice NEVER seen or heard that word in real life
Wow
Peace out bro 😎
I found this very informative and intriguing, thank-you. Was looking up the subject out of curiosity as I recently found a bunch of worms living in the soil of one of my houseplants as i was transplanting it. It was a green Pepper plant that had been over-wintering inside for the winter after I pulled it from the garden last year. Was planted in half compost/half top soil, with a small layer of mulch around the top, and the worms were going nuts. So glad to have found that and found this info on them.
I dont know what they put in my burger, but Gandalf teaching me how to raise worms is my favorite channel now
Special mushroom burger
Got yourself another subscriber my green thumbed brother. All the way from Scotland
I reckon Greg would look great, and fearsome, in a kilt - perfect for any remakes of Braveheart !
Thanks Gregg! I learned today that garden lime is toxic to worms! I didn't know that, I'm glad l never added that to my bins. Great video! I will certainly use this as a guide for my worm bins☺🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛
Thank you for some helpful information that i will use to grow worms and to have a better garden!
I use coco coir and rabbit droppings/ Timothy hay that the rabbits didn't finish eating, cardboard rolls, egg shells, coffee grounds.
All good for worms!
Coffee Grounds are not too acetic for worms?
@@chuckkady7282 the acid in ground coffee is water soluble, so the vast majority of it ends up in your cup. The spent grounds, especially if well brewed, are very near neutral pH.
Spent grounds are still high in caffeine though, which stunts or even prevents plant growth, so never apply directly to soil. Hot compost or vermicompost the grounds. There is a particular type of bacteria that breaks down caffeine. I forget the species.
@@Triggerfish70 Thanks :o) I will continue to dispose of my coffee grds in the land fill. Since the caffeine could affect the worms which I desire to raise.
@@chuckkady7282everyone says worms absolutely love coffee grounds. At the very least it should be safe in moderation, but it's up to you.
Thanks Greg. Keep em' comin'. Appreciate it. Good information.
Thanks Greg, this popped up by CZcams. Worms and gardening is a vital part of how I found your channel in the prepping community. Greg from NY to be specific. With all the war and control out there. Gardening is one of my biggest preps. Compost leading to worms. My compost is just full of worms and it's very wet and mostly food scraps with crushed leafs. If I want them thrive it looks like I have to make A dedicated worms bed.
I live in north Alabama too and just started a red worm bed for fishing and you probably just saved my worms
Awesome!
the worm "pee"/liquid that drains from the worm bin is the most nutrient-rich worm essence/emulsion full of humic acid and beneficial bacteria, good to harvest and use for fertilization/compost teas.
I'm getting so many mixed signals on this! Others saying leachate is toxic to plants. Do you use it successfully?
@@thats_alison745 I do use the leachate on my garden. If you want to be on the safe side I would use it on hardier plants and never feed diseased matter to the worms. Most professionals are hesitant to use it because it has passed through non-composted food scraps which can spread disease if it's already in your worm farm.
the water that drains from the bin is caused leachate. it is not the same as worm tea which has a much higher concentration of castings and nutrients.
Thank You Mr. Allison, for this informative and interesting video. You speak the truth, and you speak from experience, and in my book thats what counts. I have subscribed and will be watching more of your videos, as well as checking out your web site.
Thanx again!! Take care & GOD Bless!!!!

2feet soil depth for northern states
Bedding: well composted horse/cow manure sitting outside for months in the weather OR Peat moss soaked 24hrs then squeezed out to drip dryness; compost (gone through heat phase)
In ground bed line w/ 6 inch gravel surrounded by concrete blocks; cover bed w/ lid & weight; pure crushed dolomite(lime) in the bed to keep out fly larvae( a light dusting then dampen to dissolve)
Yup!
This guy just looks like a worm expert. Thanks for the info!
Hey I like your video I used to dig worms for a living selling them by the 1000 at a time and the best thing I fed them was a small sprinkle of cornmeal anout twice a week and digging them under piles of last year's cow manure I added a handful of that cow manure and the dirt it was with and it kept them alive for months and months
Never knew about the dolomite vs regular hydrolyzed garden lime.
This is the most information I have found in one place about worms! This just answered so many questions I have.
The best thing I've found and I'm no expert but I use potting soil with no fertilizer and rabbit poop. I also dry up egg shells and grind to a powder. Will sure start giving mine melons
New to this channel and found you gave great tips. I purchased 2000 worms 2 years ago this month. My castings look like what your bins are showing. I have noticed that in many videos where shredded paper is being used, the soil looks tan colored. Will be watching for more information you share. Blessings from Maine.
Hi Greg ! Happy holidays !! Diamond sent me over & That's a BOOM ! :)
BOOM! Thank you for subscribing! Be sure to bang the notification for updates!
@@greengregs You are welcome brother !The bell is a dinging for me ! :).Love From France !
Thanks for the video. I have the channel now for all of my worm-growing information.
hermorphrodietic. This guy is really smart so his pronunciations are pleasant and endearing.
Could you use wood ash to raise the pH of your bed, or is that bad for the worms?
Great video! Thanks for all the info. I've been wanting to get into raising worms to add more variety to my duck's diet.
As long as you place any food only in a corner of your bin and not strewn across the top, you can feed your worms anything you want because the worms themselves will decide whether to approach or move away from whatever you give them. In this way if you want to introduce any special materials you want in your compost, the worms will process the material for you. So for instance I live near the Pacific Ocean and periodically I'll harvest kelp from the ocean and give them to my worms. The worms will eat the kelp which will infuse the minerals from the kelp into my compost. And, it doesn't hurt that some sand is introduced into the bin to help the worms digest food better. For your purposes, ask yourself why you want the wood ash. If it's to modify the Ph, that's probably not an effective reason but if you're trying to balance something or are targeting a special need creating compost for a specific plant, then go ahead and give it to your worms... But as I describe which will allow your worms how much or fast to consume on their own.
Thank you so much for this extremely informative video. I just set up my worm bin for worm castings. I just subscribed too!
another thing I have found is if you are going to add household scraps ... you need to cover them with the 'dirt' in the container ... helps keep flies down as well as limits the amount you add and places the 'food' where the worms are
This is my dream worm bed, lol. Currently composting in a large bin container.
I thought the thumbnail was Gandalf...Though I was NOT disappointed
He could change the thumbnail to include the words, "Gandalf Grows Worms."
Fantastic information, Greg! We definitely want to cultivate worms. I guarantee there are little to no worms in our soil. 👍
That can be fixed!
Green Dream Project Modern farming kills all like in the soil from microbial through to larger creatures like worm, first to go are beneficial fungus like common mushrooms
You are the Man! The real worm WHISPERER! Love your video! ❤️❤️❤️
This is the BEST most comprehensive worm farming video I've seen on CZcams, and I've seen a lot! Thank you sir!
Thank you for that!
Ordered 10,000 more red Wigglers from you. Green Greg has the best price and healthiest Wigglers on the net!
Thank you!
Jesse are you Gregs brother in law? LOL...
Just got my order of worms thank you! I cut them all in half with scissors and now have double the worms! (kidding, don't do that) Great content, sub'd
LOL! Yeah don't cut 'em in half!
Haha 😂
Wrigglers are some the best worms at regeneration, if you actually did cut your worms in half, I’d say you’d get above 80% survival. Wrigglers can make 2 worms from 1, nightcrawlers usually just can regrow the posterior on the head end.
@@TheFrogfeeder wriggler can make 2 worms from 1?
lol wut
Oh ... My ... Goodness ... Thats too funny
This is a wealth of information!
Always informative. Will be ordering my worms tonight or tomorrow!! Thank you for sharing.
Great info, much appreciated thanks :)
Thank you for the knowledge, love the internet for the mountain grey beard wisdom. Secondly, it is great to have confirmation on Spring Tails. I have lots of them for years and they seem to help if anything
They do! Glad I have them now!
Beards are knowledge receptors
Thank you Gandoff the great worm farmer for all your helpful tips. Thinking of getting a bed started. I seem to use and buy a ton of the castings. To the point where I think it would be cheaper to have and manage my own bed. If I could only get the wife on board - lol!
Ty very much iam just starting you be blessed ,,iam going to give it a shot
THANKS for info! some thoughts below. May be common knowledge - but adding as 'Food' to this bed of treats you have. peace ~- *
*Ants Don't like Medicated Powder* - they Back Away. I put in Sock and 'Bop' it on . . Wonder if Mint planted around works?
LIZARDS like Worms. They like Ants too. =] COFFEE Grounds put in beds feed and add their roasted scent. Cheers!
Love it. You know your worms. That’s the truth👍🏻
I thought the packaging in the worm bin was for some cheap beer named "Shop Light" LOL
Can confirm re: water will not necessarily kill your worms. I came out one winter to find my plastic container bin with a layer of water a couple inches thick *on top* of my compost/bedding layer. I pulled the compost and bedding out and found that the worms weren't all dead. They didn't seem happy about all the moving around or the excess water, but they survived it.
Yeah, I've seen that many times.
Borax for ants sprinkle around the base of beds. We used to put a line of 40 mile team borax around the foundations of . the house and barns plus use line on your potato plants and tomatoes plants for bug control gramma did when i was kid in 60s when I was a kid
Also cinnamon. Worms hate it.
I used to have a band when I was younger. There's no time for that in my adult life.
Thanks. I live in Cullman, Al. I'm gonna make a bed and give it a go. For convenience. I use worms to catch bream. Use the bream to catch catfish. So I can go catfishing without having to go find and buy worms. 24-7. Anytime
