That's some ultra premium high-end bedding. I miss some of the old defunct worm farming channels too - perhaps the ones I miss the most are (as you mentioned) The Crazy Worm Lady & the London Worm & Garden channels. It's fortunate that a couple newer worm farming channels - like this one - are just as interesting as those were :)
That’s probably the most work I’ve seen go into preparing bedding. Thinking of your garden well in advance! I like it. Good show!
I never thought to pre-load neutrients into my bedding but what a great idea! Totally changing my process going forward.
I make a similar prepared bedding, however I find it’s easier to mix everything in when I put the coco coir in a bucket, add several gallons of warm water, then add the molasses, egg shell, coffee, a tiny Mycorrhiza fungi starter, humachar, maybe ash if you have it, Azomite, Neem seed meal, alfalfa and anything else you like into the coco bucket. Let it mix well, I prefer a soupy consistency. Then pour half of it into a tub of shredded cardboard & paper and dried leaves, add a little fresh cut grass for fun. Then just keep adding cardboard and the coco coir mix, I use the cardboard to wipe out the bucket. Oh, and I usually can find some larger cardboard pieces from my active bins to toss for the microbes. It’s easy on the hands and I can get a head start on bedding. Currently I have some mushroom compost I’ve been throwing in too.
I use up cardboard boxes like crazy! So awesome they're a 'no cost' bedding! Thanks for your vids! 🙂
I put large clam shells in my bins and they seem to enjoy hanging out under them.
This is so excellent. Thank you!
Love seeing how you make your bedding Ann. DIY bin is looking good, nice feeding.
Great video Ann 🙌🏾😊
Good morning, Ann, this is an excellent video. Great tutorial on bedding.
quite the prepping for your bedding, I knew you did prepare it, but never knew how much work went into it. Thanks for the explanation.
Great mix for a garden bed, too! Hmmm...Great info.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🙂
I'm rewatching this video, I like sifting the coco coir to get fines for worms and larger parts for bonsai also. This video was very informative!
I love watching your wormy vids madam! 👍👍👍
I am surprised you don't use aged steer manure- this is what I do. I will add some cardboard but not as much as you--mostly green plants from the yard, leaves, eggs shells, veggies and fruits. Coffee grinds, old soil (to be renewed.) I don't use colored print. Pine animal bedding is also a thought for you--works well enough it's actually great for high alkaline clay soil. Worms really love the manure.
Thank you for mentioning worms "playing". I wondered why I find worms in my burlap blanket.
I am learning so much from this video!! I was today years old when I found out what the word azomite means!!! Yes, I do think the worms like to "play" or feel the different textures😂 Your DIY tower does great!! I think the difference between your tower and the VermiHut trays are the number and size of the holes. But worms travel all up in down in both so they both work well!! I find lots of worms in all the layers but they are definitely concentrated in the top tray which is the only tray I feed. Excellent video!!🪱🪱🪱
thanks for another great video. I appreciate the way you explain why you do what you do rather than just saying to do such and such. Knowing why is so important.
