  4. Remember kitchen scraps and paper do not have nitrogen in them, be sure and
    add green stuff now and then.

  7. How are your worms doing? How often do you check on them? What do you do
    when they have eaten everything up and they are just crawling in their own
    pup?

  8. Any suggestions for a west Texan in 90 to 100+ heat?! I have a spare room
    in my house thats not used, but how bad does the bin smell? Lol ive ordered
    some castings online for now and just started my garden. My first time
    gardening in far west Texas! Worried about the lack of rain and heat here.

  9. Can you use Earthworms and Red Wigglers at the same time or will it set off
    a Watts Riot in worm land? I read that they burrow deeper but I have a
    fairly deep worm box.

  12. Kim and mad scientist– You dont have that many worms but in time they
    will multiply and like Larry hinted you need to check just to see how
    quickly they are using the food. I normally will put food in a corner and
    once a lot of worms are on top of the food I go ahead and add food to the
    next corner so it can be breaking down. Before you know it you will have
    ” the best plant food known to man” Have a great day,, Steve

  14. I didn’t know that the worms are a special type. I also didn’t know how
    nutritious the castings are.
    I learn something new every day in gardening.
    Thank You and the Mad Scientist for this valuable video.
    I subscribed for more interesting and valuable tips.

  15. Nice vid.
    Kim, Larry Hall channel has nice worm vids…
    He’s using peat in his bins… perhaps you should have some in yours?

  16. Your videos on making a worm bin has been by far the BEST one I’ve
    watched. So much information. I definitely need more worms so I can have
    castings sooner, going to start another bin shortly. Thanks! Love the mad
    scientist too!

  17. The enzymes in castings is a powerful insecticide that is a near perfect
    fertilizer. The book “Worms eat my Garbage” is informative and entertaining
    for your Mad Scientist. Coconut Choir is my preference to start a bin
    before adding other food. Worm Tea is awesome to use with astonishing
    results, check it out.

  20. Which do you prefer vermicomposting or composting better? Does your compost
    pile decompose faster?

  21. Thanks for posting the video Kim. I’m trying to get all my ducks in a row
    before I set one up. One question came to mind. Where should I put a worm
    bin in the middle of the winter. I’m in zone 5 and it gets mighty cold in
    the winter time. I’m assuming I wouldn’t be able to keep it outside!
    Perhaps in the garage? Thanks again!

  23. Kim begins her worm ranching days! 🙂 They definitely do love to eat, poop
    and make baby worms that’s for certain. Have fun with it Kim and give all
    of them a hug from me…..ok maybe not a hug.
