Larry I’ve watched a lot of your videos and I love every single one. I’m in
CA and am a bit lost on the worm idea. Where do you store the bucket? What
about watering? Do you add any food compost? Lots of questions but I know
you have all the answers :-)

Composting with worms is amazing, this bucket looks better than the
stackable totes people are making on youtube. With the incredible cold
weather we had last month, my worm bins are froze solid lolz Time to start
over, stuff happens!
TIP: I use Tamale flour because it has some lime in it, just add it with
your food scraps.

I’m trying to figure out where food scraps fit into the equation? I
thought that was one benefit of composting worms?

where do you keep your worms during the winter, does it have to be warm for
them? I live in north florida but it does get pretty chilly here in january
and february and I was wondering if keeping them in a shed would be alright
for the winter? thank you in advance :)

Hi larry, what do you do to make sure the cocoons are hatch & baby worms
can go back into the bucket? will the cocoons hatch without any worms
around it? How long it takes to hatch?

Hi Larry. I was just about to get started and I am confused. Got me 2
buckets with rubber o rings. I know you mentioned you don’t drill holes
because you know how wet to keep the bedding but would you recommend
drainage holes for a novice? Is 70% peat, 20% coffee grounds, 10% food
waste too much coffee grounds? How much Lime do I need in a 5 gallon
bucket? Do you ever sale any of your EEs?

Larry will the worm bin survive in a minnesota garage? You know how it gets
here in the dead of the winter.

OK, I see I need to watch your other worm video for more details. I want
to make some good vermicompost and this is probably a good way to start.
Your other video seem to be excellent guidance. Thanks for sharing your
experiences and experiments. Since some of my neighbors insisted I get rid
of my goats, I need another way to compost fruit and vegetable scraps.
Obviously I also need to use a worm food recipe from time to time.
Wondering about how often I need to feed them and how to tell they need
feeding for good reproduction.

thank you for the vids. When you screen your compost, would you say it’s
mostly peat moss since that’s what the bulk of the bedding is when you
start? or do the worms eat the peat moss and convert to castings? i’d like
to end up with mostly castings when I’m done composting, and not peat. Hope
this makes sense! God bless

A larry this is will for Lafayette, Louisiana. love your videos and love
how you know so much good information. Just want to tell you two new worlds
(field capacity). That is what you mean by when you say the soil should not
be too wet and not too dry.

Great video! I hope to get into vermicomposting this Fall. Do you screen
the entire contents of the bucket? How often do you screen it? And when
you start a new bucket, how much peat, lime, etc do you put in? What about
adding Azomite or other rock dusts for the worms to incorporate into
compost? Thanks for the great ideas!

Larry. This is a great way to do a worm farm. In my previous worm farm, I
had five 5-gallon buckets with lots of drain holes in the top four buckets,
and I would rotate the top four out every couple of months. It was a lot of
work to set up and it worked well but it was not highly productive. Your
technique is a whole lot less work and I think the technique would yield
much more castings.
Because of the daily summer deluges in Florida and because worms can’t
tread water, I do believe I need to have some kind of drain system if I
leave the top open, I am thinking two buckets, one with a drain. Before, I
stuffed the drain coconut fiber to keep the worms from transferring to the
bottom bucket and drowning. I also like the worm tea from the bottom
bucket.
I have heard that the African and European worms are invasive because they
unbalance the eco system, and cause the native species to die off. I stick
with the native worms to be on the safe side, even though I know they don’t
produce like alien worms.

Love the simplistic idea of this. May have to give worm farming another
shot. Thanks for the video.
