See that corn meal in background, thats all you need !

Yes equal parts corn meal and oatmeal also add some crushed egg shells which i put in my spice grinder! Also chicken mash is good!

Having given up on worm composting for years after the meltdown I am now going to start again after watching your videos and since I have time to see to the compost properly now that I have retired.

Thank You Larry for sharing your very interesting and helpful videos..

love your videos....I have red wigglers and super red euro crawlers....love this new hobby

They love you Larry they do look happy

Larry, I have just started with worms. When I was doing research, I found your videos and watched many, many. I loved them. Keep it up!

Thank you for the tip Larry. Looks like a Great idea to me. Nice video! God Bless ✝

I've raised worms for 40 years, my dad did also. We used the highest yield of protein chick starter, soaked it in 5gal buckets of water until it ferments, then feed. The red worms love it.

Is there a recipe for using the chick starter (an amount) to the water? Thank you. I have started to grow worms.

Rolled oats is less processed but either will work! As far as the egg shells add some to the food but you can also sprinkle on the worm bed!

I just feed my worms mostly composted grass clippings as bedding and food scrap smoothies and they love it

Worm chow. Great tip. I'll be searching for some. Tfs

Love your video and the series you did really helpful 😊

great video's Larry . I have learned so much. but in the process of learning it has just created many more questions. I wont bother asking when you have so many fans that are still waiting for you to answer their questions. we all hope you can find some time to address some of them. God bless and looking forward to knew videos

Have been raising red wigglers for the past few years decided to try European nightcrawlers. Ordered the worms and set up a 27 gal tote with natural bedding ( leaf mold, compost, shredded leaves and a bit of native soil). When the worms arrived I dumped them in the bin, gave them a good shower and left them alone for a few days before feeding them. After giving them a good feeding, I checked the bin a week later to see how things were going. The food was all gone, but even after I fed and covered them, these little darlings were climbing up the sides of the tote. The red wigglers have never done that. So now when I feed them, I disturbed them as little as possible and do it under a good light. Live and learn. Just subscribed to your channel, look forward to taking a closer look. Stay well!!!

I am just playing around with the worm chow to see if it really makes a difference! Hey it is a lot cheaper than golf right!

The liquid that drains from the box is a great liquid fertilizer and allows you to use your scraps (they love tea bags).. If you add some brown material with your scrapes (which is better for your worms anyway) the moisture stays pretty spot on. Brown materials are organic things that sit and won't smell bad over time and are not overly wet. Popular ones include coffee grounds, AGED dead leaves/yard cuttings/grass (do not use fresh of any of those, the material should already be beginning to break down and dry. A leaf/yard pile is awesome for this) , shredded newspaper, chemical free wood pulp/saw dust (in small quantities-they break down very slowly). There may be others but don't give your worms citrus, onion family (onions, scallions, garlic,etc.), or chlorinated water. If you use tap water let it sit and air out over night or more. If you have a yard or garden check out worm tea (made from castings) and free range worms here on YT. There are so many great videos out there from people who know more than I do. Happy worming friends. Be blessed. --Caution,I heard someone crashed their worm farm with cornmeal so do your research and add it slowly.

Thank you for your videos especially for the one on eggshells. I have been grinding them by hand. It was hard work, took ages and never gave me the fine powder I got after 1 minute or so in the grinder.

Thanks too for the excellent tip on feeding compost worms. Years ago I had a 10 litre bucket with bought worms. Though I just threw the waste in it went fine till I put some mackrel scraps in it. It got so hot the worms melted. Did it stink. I could not save 1 worm.

Thanks Larry. Informative as always. I have a bag of Rabbit Chow I'm going to try. We'll see how that goes. It's easier for me to get locally.

Good job---worm chow sounds interesting

I am going to keep mine inside during the winter using coco for bedding. How often do you change your bedding?

What temperature should I keep the room for them? My red wrigglers seem like they are hibernating!

Hey Larry just started my night crawlers. What do you use for their bedding? Would you mind sharing your recipe or do you have a vid on it? Thanks so much!

They will handle down to 38 degrees and as high as 85 but thrive at anywhere between 65 and 75!

hey Larry, thanks for the great videos! I have a quetions for you. I've been trying to raise European nightcrawlers for a while now. but I'm not getting the size that you're getting, they're only a little bit bigger than red wigglers. could my worms not be getting big enough because I only feed them kitchen scraps?

Chicken mash is what you start baby chickens on! It is very fine ground meal!

How often do you change out the bedding in the night crawlers since you have no drain holes ? How many night crawlers did that bin start with ?

Wow, I would be in fishing heaven!

I have a question by giving them the dry dood and laying down the wet paper does the food stick to the paper and still eat it

what is the best temperature for earthworms to live / breed in? (I noticed that my red wigglers bred only above certain temperatures/ seasonally, though they were in a 1/2 basement, unheated.) Great info- Thanks! > do you have a method to how you harvest them / for each of their containers?

do u mix the corn mill and the oat mill to feed the worms?

Where do you get so many worms at? Like do you just find them or go to a Walmart and buy out their whole fridge... And also do you fish with them to keep the numbers down?

new to this. great video. can you throw as much of the worms into the fruit trees i have in my garden. any down side to these worms in the soil. thank you!

You have a great assortment of worms =) I started with red wigglers last year and I'm looking forward to warmer weather when I can bring them up from the basement. I'm having so much fun with them! I'm subbing to your channel to learn more! Thanks for a good video =)

Hello, what is the white powder that you feed the worms, what components they carry. Hola, que es el polvo blanco que le echa usted de alimento a las lombrices, que componentes lleva.

Thanks for the videos keep it up cheers

hey larry, i feel the same as you about earthworms (nothing cooler) but hey... you have to try putting down some fresh carrot pulp collected from your juicer and watch how fast it vanishes. like a full half gallon over night!!!

As they grow and multiply I will split them into 2 tubs!

I have a question I'm new doing this worm bin. by you adding the powder food and adding the wet news paper will that powder stick to the paper and still the worms will eat it

I read ph level 8.4 with nitrogen soil conditions fits best. What do you think ?

Rolled oats not instant oats right ? If you had a 2# feed mix 1# oats and 1# cornmeal how many egg shells would you add ? Would a food processer /chopper work as well ? Or a blender ?

My red wigglers plastic box are full of sow bugs. Dang! How do you handle the algae in the pool?

where do y put your finished worm poop? inside, in the garage. can I put it in the pale outside next to the wall on the north side? will they freeze, i mean their cocoon? thank you

If you only feed with worm food will you only have worms in your bin instead of all the other bugs that come with composting?

When you start a bucket how long will take be for they start having baby s

Larry, do you have lids on your bins or just the newspaper?

Salute from Brazil! Very interesting vídeos! Do you know if it can be used as bait for fishing in saltwater? Did anyone ever try? I love fishing at the beach and feel tempted to start a worm Box!

ground corn works good for us, over the winter thats all we give our worms,

My fish would like this.. 😋😍

Larry, do you prefer a drain bin or not a drain bin?

Hey new worm farmer here. I'm wondering if I put red wiglers in with my night crawlers if they will kill each other off. I ordered 1000 today and have room for them in my night crawler box. I'm wondering because I feel like the red wigglers would help keep their that cleaner since they are really good at composting. I'm planning to use the red wigglers for fertilizer and the nightcrawlers to sell to fisherman

I don't use European night crawlers but the red worms. Do this European worms need to be in not so wet bedding. I ask you because my bean is always so wet that i can't sift it but I'm afraid that if i let it dry i will damage the worms.

Can you feed red wigglers to the chickens as source of protein?

What would happen if you raised reds with nightcrawlers in the same bin? Are they carnivorous ?

Keep a light on the worms at night, and during lightning storms, this will retain the worms, they will never crawl out.

How do you keep compost worms in the bin for those who use uncovered bins on shelves?

I make my own chow - half the fun :)

How big of a bin should i use for my 200 euro nightcrawlers? I want to try to keep a steady colony of 500 worms. I am currently using a bin that is 16 L x 11 W inches and is 7 inches deep. Is that enough for 200 worms? and will it be enough for 500 worms??

Hey Larry, I was gonna start making my own worm farm. What should I do first to be prepared? AND Where do I get that much worms? I'm sorry if I'm bothering you but this is our project, and I'm completely NEW about all of this!

i have feed corn put in the blender an it is super fine

What size bin is it and how deep is your bedding

So you soak your newspaper? I put myn in dry and it comes out soaked in less than a day. Is it soaked because they are breaking it down?

Can I give my worms only paper and aged compost as bedding?

thanks for sharing

How long have the bit made for the worms.'. Can you over feed the worms?

Once the egg shells are nukced is there a self life on them ?

Any recoommendations for an substitute for the Purina? It has Porcine - Pig & Fish meal. I would like a work around those ingredients.

Can you feed nightcrawlers grits?

Cool Video Larry, I used to keep worms for fishing when I was a kid, now I', old and want to start fishing and worming again, are you still doing this? Thanks for posting
