  • Why buy worms - Why raise worms? Raising worms for profit. This video explains the benefits from having worm to recycle your kitchen and paper waste to produce the best compost for your plants, and the economic benefits of raising worms. I cover how you can grow the equivalent of a steer a year in a 8 by 24 foot plot of land, and discuss the products you can obtain from those worms beds. I cover why worms are great for the garden too!
    Buy worms from me at Greg Gregs go to greengregs.com/
    Or go straight to the worm order page: 6vw.621.myftpupload.com/buy-w...

    I made one from an old bathtub that came in with scrap metal that I sell when I have a trailer that is full. If it's successful I will never throw bathtubs away.
    You're right about that worm compost doesn't burn op plants. I once had a bucket I forgot and when I walked by it weeks later it was full with tomato plants. Apparently I had thrown rotten tomatoes in the worm bins.

    My grandfather farmed works for at least 30 maybe 50 years. :).
    He had about 50 large long beds. Shipped them every week. He picked thousands by hand each day.

      My fish ale loved fresh worms I ( long ago) had Oscars both them and my fancy tail rescue goldfish that was about the same size growing with them when I rehomed them they were all at least nine inches. They would all come up and eat the worms right out of my hand.
      Even the ones I had before that would. Hand feeding them crawfish or live fish was a little more difficult. Bringing the worms into the bright light with stun them and make them easier to hang for the fish.
      It's a neat little thing and people always get a kick out of it when they come to visit you and you show them your trained fish

    Greg I appreciate you. I run a large 100% organic hemp grow on 170 acres in South Texas. After getting the grow up and running I took a look around and decided I would like to start my own soil building program with a worm farm front and center. My dad lives in Whitwell, TN, so maybe I can come for a visit soon. Looking forward to watching more of you and will be ordering some worms in the near future. Thanks!

    Anyone with a aquaponics setup using bass or any predator fish with the space to do large worm farm should. Worms to feed fish, fish feed the plants. Plant scraps feed the worms, and the compost created can be used for any garden beds. Almost closed loop- Reducing input in the system. That's how I'm setting up. So thank you for the information matey, I'm still researching the worm aspect to save on fish food.

    When you talk about waste and shit we throw away and shit like that, I think about plastic. Plastic has been in the news these past few years and it is horrible how things as plastic has affected our lives. But I LOVE plastic. I have learned to do something with plastic that no one has ever thought of. I take plastic wrap, p[lastic milk jugs, [plastic water bottles and I make fishing lures from them. I re-fill my 1 pound LP tanks from a 20 pound tank. I fill my 20 pound tank and re-fill it from my 500 gallon tank then I fire up my one pound tank with a torch tip and cut me a piece of milk jug and I hold it with a pair of needle nose pliers and warm it, (not burn it) but warm it untill the plastic is plyable, then I start forming it with my fingers. I keep turning it above the flame and forming it. I form it into the confuguration that I want or need. I can add more plastic to it, whether it be from a plastic sandwich bag or more from a harder source. I use different colors of plastic and form them together. I can use darker colors of plastic for the eyes, etc. I let it hardened then use tiny eye screw to screw into them and take snap swivels to connect the hooks. I have made and sold lures for saltwater and deep sea fishing using 3 to 4 2 liter pop bottles.

    Thanks for producing this informative and inspiring video...I'd love to start a small worm farm in the UK...and will be watching more of your excellent videos. Quick question if i may; would you think i could raise them outdoors in the UK climate (Im located in Shropshire, Midlands UK). I have just 0.5acres of agricultural land but no electricity on site and the worms will be sharing the land with 15 Honeybee Hives. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks Neil

      Well if it snows you need a big pile of compost or material and could tarp it. When it gets below zero your worms definitely may die if you don't have a big enough pile. But i raise worms in an IBC tote and i think mine died outside, but in the spring or summer i found tons of worms. So maybe they didn't die or hatched from eggs. I put like two feet of added stuff like alfalfa and lawn clippings and then put a tarp over it. I live in Utah, US, so we have months below freezing. Another idea is you could put a IBC tote or pool etc in the ground so it's more insulated by the ground. Or maybe just put material around it and over it for insulation.

    I raise worms and give them away. I also use the castings and give my casting away also.

    Greg, i’ve been working at worm composting for use in my garden for about two years now. I only have two small bins in my garage. I sometimes have trouble getting enough to feed them because we don’t have a lot of waste. When I’m short on produce waste can I use grass clippings and dried leaves? We had flyers of some type laid thousands of eggs but they’re gone now for the most part. Any ideas on where to supplement warm food would be great

    For a worm box would cob work? Or clay? -It could be fired with a bonfire 🔥 which can make a pretty glazing. Then you wouldn’t have to replace your boxes every 2 years. Let the trees grow. The lids would need pneumatic lifts for the weight though.

    Just love your videos! I am going to buy some worms from you, but I want to have my beds ready first. I have a bunch of 55 gal drums. You have any pointers on making a worm bed out of a 55 gal drum?

      I've been wanting to ask you, MI, about comparing worm compost and traditional compost. Why do both? If someone has limited physical strength, can using only vermicast be sufficient?

      @@texaspatty4697 I'm not the guy but I keep a super lazy compost heap in the back yard to use for bedding.
      Half the point of worms is to save money and be lazy, yeah? Another easy and lazy free bedding I do is cram last years leaves in a barrel and hit em with the weed whip.

      @@uglyweirdo1389 Thanks for your response. I still am wondering if worm castings are "as good as" traditional compost in a garden. If anyone has used both and compared, let us know.
      In my experience, worms ARE easy! And traditional composting is not so much. Thanks!
