Harvesting Red Worms

Hi everybody!

I’ve been doing some research lately. In this video I test if I can harvest hatched worms out of the finished vermicompost. The second project is taking those babies and starting THREE new plastic bins. I want to start a 4th but, haven’t decided yet. I am running out of room and don’t want to overdo it too much. In two of the bins which are in the house, one has more greens than browns and the other has more browns than greens.

The one with more browns seems to stay moist longer. I have been also using a secret food amendment.

I’ll let you know about that later, I haven’t decided if I like it or not.
