    If you want to improve your garden or beds it's a good idea to promote raising your local earthworms through adding soaken woodchips, soaken paper & cardboard, clean manure, soaken leafs, kitchen wastes, to the soil. Red California worms are excelent to raise because you can use them to make Humus and to feed birds, fish, cattle, reptiles, I don't know how efficient diggers they can be.

    Do you have to re-bag the casting you resell? If so m, how? Or do you know of a really budget friendly way to bag castings (labor is not an issue)

    • @UrbanWormCompany
      @UrbanWormCompany 10 дней назад

      So we used to make our own castings here but we began selling far more of them than we could make so we have a partner farm who supplies us with bulk that we can rebag and sell but we've also partnered on a more retail-friendly bag. These fancier bags are generally unnecessary unless you're trying to get into more corporate retail stores. We have used Uline Kraft bakery bags for the 2lb bags and Uline sandbags with hangtags from VistaPrint. Both are pretty cheap. I actually have a business course that covers vermicomposting and vermiculture and I stress why working your tail off to start a small vermicomposting operation isn't always a good idea. I think it's much more profitable to buy from a bulk supplier (like us, to be honest) and resell locally at 3x markup in most cases. We can deliver a 2250lb tote anywhere in the lower 48 states for around $1250, all-in. That's about 55 cents per pound. Here's a link to check out the course: urbanwormcompany.thrivecart.com/urban-worm-u-business-course/ Here's a link to our bulk worm castings: shop.urbanwormcompany.com/products/bulk-worm-castings-2000lbs

    These worms produce a lot of castings. However the castings don't have the nutritive value for plants that other worm castings have. The microbiome in the worm gut should determine the qualities of the castings. Some humans with digestive irregularities have benefitted from fecal transplants. I wonder whether the microbiome of a Canadian nightcrawler or red wiggler could be transferred to the jumping worms.

    Okay, quick question I bought two pounds of ANC's and used then to start a bin and my second UWB. I used a combination of coffee, spent grounds, and shredded paper. After 2 or 3 days, my worms effectively melted. I saved some from my UWB, but only a handful or two and I'm going to see if I can transfer then to a bin to try and repopulate. I also believe that flies, not BSF, laid eggs in the grain and those maggots may have harmed my worms. I have since thrown the rest of my spent grain in the compost to get it to start breaking down. Hopefully, I won't make that mistake again. My question is, what is the best setup to give my few remaining worms the best chance to repopulate. Any suggestions would be great.

    • @UrbanWormCompany
      @UrbanWormCompany 12 дней назад

      The 25-33% number is the food waste and bedding in total. Most of that will be food waste when it comes to weight. And I think that 2kg of waste per day is very aggressive but could be done with a very full mature bag with a healthy ecosystem of worms and bacteria.

      So "carbon-rich" is anything 30:1 or over in my book. Even something like chicken-manure which is as high in nitrogen as you can get in terms of manure, is still 6:1.

    @anaconaway 27 дней назад

    I took a couple 5 gallon buckets, took the bottoms off and drilled holes in the sides and started my compost with 100 ordered worms. I now have thousands and have bring some inside to make compost all year around. I’m constantly finding worms all over my garden when I plant and they even snuck into my above ground hot compost set up. I will admit that my garden was hand tilled so it was soft and fluffy when I first set it up, but I practice regenerative agriculture so I try to not disturb the soil as much as I can and the worms are still everywhere. So I would say that if you do a below ground set up correctly, they will create a good product to spread around AND go through your earth. I’ve only recently had a couple of the deep dwelling nightcrawlers come in to take some food with them, but I also attract springtails and isopods (which I collect as pets) and have a very healthy ecosystem. The only real downside is that they are, in fact, a pain in the back to harvest. I’ve settled on pulling everything out and sifting through it above ground.
