A learn to worm COURSE?!? How exciting?! Between you and Vee, I want to be a worm farmer!!!! 🪱❤️🪱❤️ Love you Captain Matt!!!

Very exciting Captain Matt. Thanks for sharing the information and your news. I love the notion of sharing expertise. I worked in IT for a while and one of the practices was review by peers of your work. At first it felt wrong. But getting a panel of your peers around a table to walk through a submitted work was transformative. The whole of the technical workforce shared their individual strengths, and as a result the whole workforce soon worked at a technical strength of our combined, shared capabilities. We went from a group of individuals each working to achieve, as a group, at the lowest common denominator level, to a bonded team achieving results close to the highest common factor level of capability. The worming community can do this and we can all benefit, along with the gardens and customers we support.

Exciting stuff going on - and seeing your enthusiasm for it all is the best part 👍🏻

Keller Korner Worm Hut in Connersville, Indiana appreciates your videos. 🪱

Hello Captain, I am André Oliveira and I am from Portugal and you have been the greatest inspiration in these last weeks. I am starting in the world of vermaculture, by the way I bought my first 300 worms yesterday. I am super excited about the possibility of attending your course, I can't wait to learn with you not only for the knowledge you transmit but especially for the giant intusiasm that shows in all the videos. Big hug from Portugal and ... I´m Worm People.

Captain Matt you are the bomb!

Captain, I think you need a bigger garage. So many cacoons, you may run out of space of grow out bins. All I can say is YaHooo, thems a lotta worms! Keep up with the great work you are doing.

Couldn't agree more, Sandra. The world needs all the Worm People!

I like the idea of using the big bins as a place to hatch the cocoons and then the large bins act as a nursery and a place to grow out the worms👍👍 Thinking out loud 👉👉The only reason I have breeder bins, nursery bins and grow out bins is because I am producing batches of worms that are generally all the same length, they are sized from birth. Is it necessary, not at all? Is it advantageous? Yes, with ENCs and ANCs. Would I recommend someone go through the process with RWs? Not unless they are wanting to produce a certain amount/weight of worms and castings every week, or they truly want to understand the life cycle of worms and have predictable outcomes that are absolute. With those large CFTs that captain Matt has once they are at full production, they will hold 30 lbs. of worms, no problem, allowing one to remove a 1/2 lb. a week and still maintain the 30 lbs. of worms. Plus, they can easily take 10 to 15 gallons of shredded/sifted compost or peat on the top a week and deliver that much out the bottom. Done thinking out loud. Thanks for the upload! Enjoy worms and have a great Day!

Great idea. I do the same in laundry tubs.

Well that's a GREAT problem to have 🥰 time for an upgrade to your space

That is exciting news!

Thanks!!

Love your videos and information Captain Matt. Where do you get your black breeder trays?

Can you advise what a CRT is? I am a newbie home farmer and I use a simple 360 and another DIY tiered system for my “Rescues” Lumbricus T. We had a landscaping project and I couldn’t see them killed and now it’s cold out 😂

Love all your stuff! Where do you buy your mortar bins?

I may have missed it, but why would I separate the cocoons out?

We do need to train those who would love to have a worm farm.

Diatomaceous Earth food grade also works well for the gnats, worm on!

Right on, MB. I tend to use BTI more than DE, myself. Here's a good related post on WormPeople.com .. would love to have more of your perspective in the comments of the article wormpeople.com/dealing-with-fruit-flies-and-fungus-gnats-in-the-worm-bin/

Hi Captain Mat, I'm very new to raising worms....only have about 100 now. I've been watching your videos for a while an truly enjoy them. I have a couple of questions I have not seen answered on your show. First, your huge bags, when you sell them will you remove the worms or will they go with the huge bags of castings? Second, you have said you have heat for your breeding bins. What are you using.... heating pads, small heaters? I hope you have the time to answer my questions, I realize you are very busy. Thank you for your time Sue

Hey Susan, so great to hear from you. We'll extract (most of the worms) from the big bags and bag castings for retail sale. Keep an eye our for a short video this week about the heating pads. Thanks for asking!

All I keep hearing about is sharing and learning and all the sudden now there’s a corse with a charge ?

Ps...I'm trying to be a wormer and need to grow lots of big European night crawlers...for fishing...thnx again..

how many total weeks to fill the one ton bag? You can't own the truth, thanks for sharing it.

Sir, do you hatch your cocoons in casting ?

How many breeders do you have in one bin to get 1000 cocoons from each?

Do you have holes in the plastic that’s on top? Same question for your bucket covers

Not in this case… but monitor it to ensure air is getting in from sides. Buckets need holes.

Find a way to ensure enough oxygen while rodent proof. Pipes, screens, etc

It is a little confusing what you do with the breeders. Are they put in the previous CFT with the cocoons?
