Excellent presentation. Thanks for all the hard work young man.

me and my friends in school rescue the worms on the ground from being stamped on I wanted to know more and save some worms then release them!

Great vid! Thanks

Funny how people come here to learn about worms and then pretend to be experts in the comments section.

I save raw vegetable scraps, egg shells, fruit peels etc and when I have enough to run through the blender I add some water to the mix and blend it into a thick soup texture and pour it in the worm bed. My worms love it. The worm castings go in the garden. I also hunt worms in my backyard and add them to my raised bed gardens to help enrich the soil.

Hi. I want to raise worms for my garden and for composting a little. Did you ever make that video on changing the bedding for your worms? If not, can you give me the basic instructions--just kind of a 10 Commandments version of changing out the dirt? Thanks! Also, is there a certain temperature they need maintained? Obviously, a lot of worms are going outside in my garden, but the ones I am trying to raise and breed will either be inside or outside depending on what temperature they need. We live in Texas, so summers are hot and winters get down to about 30 degrees on the coldest days. Thanks!

Keep up the videos

thanks great video

Good video, how long in between feedings?

Hi Matthew...Is it corn meal good for European Night-crawler worms ?Or what is best food for them? Thnx

Can you raise the red worms or red wigglers together or with night crawlers??? Or do they need to be seperate?

Can you store them at room temperature or do they need to be refrigerated?

hi Matthew, Nice video..Any reason why you want to feed very little for the first few weeks ? In a new bedding do they normally stay at the bottom ? Thanks

@howard977

Red wigglers are top feeds . They like being at the top few inches of your bin .

Corn meal makes a great food source for them. They get huge.

what is all that contraption moving all around in the left bottom corner? I only see it in that part of video.

I have been catching and saving nightcrawlers. As always KZread this has been interesting., ALL the various methods, the different ways to Harvest , most importantly, how to keep them alive.( I )want to sell them because there is no area down here that sells worms other than red wigglers or Canadian (not common to the water) I would appreciate it if someone would show me how to box them keeping them cool and lively. Finally, What's the best food for them while they're on the shelf? Thank you for your time! GARY BOUNDS!

Nice video Matthew, I was wondering if after a few day of keeping the light on if the worms stay in without keeping the light on once they are accustomed to the tub and the bedding?

@codiphany

Thanks. Usually the light isn't necessary at all, however I recommend it for at least a couple days. Like you suggested, after the worms get settled in the light isn't required.

Go online and search mite images and see if it is mites.If it is then get ur worms out immediately but don't wash them,then get rid of the mites and ask worm experts what to do and meanwhile keep the worms somewhere safe with soil and food.U can also research online if u don't know any worm experts

VN Dustoff Most people that grow worms will tell you that worm farms have mites. It is part of the process. If you feed your worms a lot of fruit (esp melons, watermelons, cucumbers) the mite population will increase. You can treat your bin with diatomaceous earth (I've had 'food grade' recommended to me) or you can drop in a melon rind, let it sit a day or two then pull it out. The mites will be drawn to it and you will knock the population down. Aside from being "yucky", the mites usually aren't a big problem.

can you feed these worms with apple or any fruit?

This is true, Trevor. However, certain "worm chows" are formulated so the worms will grow larger and be more active. Not to mention, the chows are fine and grainy. With that said if you decide to go with kitchen scraps its best that you make them as small as possible....creating MUCH surface area for microbes to assist with the decomposition process.
