Optimized Outdoor Vermicomposting with Euros

I had a recent email exchange with an RWC reader from the UK named Mick Poultney. He told me about a YouTube video featuring a short (but still 13+ minutes) segment of a show filmed by “The National Vegetable Society” (NVS). The NVS wanted to feature Mick in the program after they learned about his rapid vermicomposting approach. I can see why!

I watched the video and found it was really interesting – so I thought it would be valuable to share here.

Reminds me a lot of my own outdoor vermicomposting approach (but with a whole bunch more ingredients) – and just generally a great example of what I refer to as “optimized” vermicomposting!

*** UPDATE ***

I asked Mick for a list of his composting ingredients and he sent me the following image!

Looks great to me!

‘Yo’ is you and ‘bostin’ is er….:-)

Wow that’s amazing how quickly those materials break down. This seems to me to be a mixture of both hot and worm composting. Is that right Bentley? Those ingredients look like they’d heat up. Yet at 10 days there’s worms on top. I’m a bit confused by that. Can’t argue with the results though.
