I put tea solids atop this top layer.
I'll put together a time series to show them swarming the solids.
I really like those worms and bins. Im trying this with some of the worms I got from the castings I bought. I loved the brand black castings tm. There were so many worms and cocoons In there.My local place I shop at quit selling that brand. So now I am trying to make my own.
Thank you, great suggestion.On ebay they sell starter colonies of cocoons for like 6-8$ you get a ton of cocoons If you really wanna start ground up :p
Just a thought. I'm a fisherman and I've had night crawlers live through the winter in a relatively small container in my frig through the winter and they seemed healthy and lively in the spring.What would you feed them? Outside they feed on dead and decaying matter.. indoors you would have to supplement that feeding with something else.
Novel idea but in the long run i think you'd just either end up killing the worms with nutes , drowning them from too much water or you'll end up attracting bugs from supplementing there food source.
I'm a old/new farmer...if you're a farmer who loves growing good or better...your are always learning. When you know it all, you die.Worms love soil and all that's in it and they bring the nuitreints from the lowest level of the compost back to the top. They are god's best recycalers(spx). Their enemy is heat...
Bro my compost bin was full of flippin thrips and mites prolly not anymore thanks to freezing temps for last week but are those bugs beneficial to compost? Also respect on your arguing skillz @LittleDabbieMites and such are actually beneficial to a worm bin and are fairly common if you find there a nuisance you can discourage them by burying the food scraps a little and covering them up, the worms will have 0 issues finding the food trust me lol
When i get antsy / bored i like to poke around and see all them eating up the food, checking for new babies/eggs ect ect. Its a really fun and rewarding hobby! :D
