The timing for this is great! It reminded me that I found a local mushroom grower a few months back and I needed to touch base with them again. They sell a tractor scoop full for next to nothing! It’s time to schedule a pick up! If it works as well as I hope I’ll have my husband pick up a truck load to use that along with my other bedding materials. At the price it will help keep the worm bedding cost low, actually a little lower than it is now. I just ordered a large feed mill/grinder similar to the one you showed in a recent video and guess it will make quick work of breaking up the substrate as well as the other bedding materials. Can’t wait for it to arrive and to get the new bedding going. Thanks for sharing all you do. Your videos are awesome!

That is the most interesting bin with all of that mycelium growing through the castings like that. Fascinating. I am using rotted pine wood and leaf mold as the bedding. Fungal content is key.

Rotted pine wood and leaf mold have great fungal content. Very nice :)

I'm currently awaiting spores for pink oyster mushrooms to grow in shredded cardboard substrate. I use a lot of mushrooms in my kitchens and was looking forward to using the SMS in my worm bins and my compost heap. Thank you for this video, you've given me a head start on seeing it in action.

Thank you, my friend. I am very committed to trying to produce the best worm casting I can within my capacity, I am tired of hearing that "costco has the same worm casting at half of your price." My mission is to educate people and not let those big corporations stole their money.

Mushrooms break down wood and other carbon material like wood and hay etc which helps the worms break down those products. It becomes a closed system. I started growing mushrooms at home for the same reason.

Yes, I have a pile of logs very old, may be 5+ years, and I have always mush and some fungi growing and the wood is become to be spongy

Thanks for the video. I've got a cordyceps spent mushroom substrate which is mainly mycelium and brown rice and just wondering for any hints/tips to feed my compost worms. Did you try and have a success with particular this type of substrate? Any help much appreciated! THANK YOU!

The one you have works perfectly. It will take a little time for the worms to eat because it is not perfectly composted, but it will add a lot of fungi to your bedding and final product. Just try to broke down as fine as possible

@@northeastworms Thanks a lot for advice! I really appreciate it. Also, I came with an idea to inoculate it using EM1 to start the process of decomposing the brown rice which might help to make the brown rice softer for the worms!

With so much mycelium you might get a flush or two of mushrooms as well.

I am new in worm farm business, just start with one CFT last week. Early a lot for you and other worms people from KZread. I was doing more research on SMS. I found somewhere it got salt?? My question is do I need to good wash before to use in worm farm?? I got hand in some SMS. Thanks in advance.

@northeastworms

Can have salt. The answer is always moderation. Depend on the size of your system. SMS is something that you add to inoculate mycelium, is not a source of food

At what percentage do you use the SMS? Could I use 100% sms and food scraps in my worm bin?

@northeastworms

I use what I have , I don't have a precise percentage. I suggest adding a good percentage of carbon sources

Perfect medium imo (pardon the pun 😁) It's cool to see the "war" going on between the fungi and bacteria in the worm bin. Super charged castings. Cheers Gaetano 🌱🍄🪱👍
