Mega thanks! It is so neat to actually SEE what we are told goes on within the soil web population. Please pass my thanks along to Ms Jack. I will use this video as a resource to show to folks whom I attempt to tell about vermicomposting.

Very informative video. Lots of good scientific information explained. All this time I thought we were all doing this just because worms are fun;)

Pseudo scorpions rule.I wish you could buy those by the box.Drop them in and they beat the red mites into submission!
Who knew they were the “Big dog” on the block?

Adding my thanks for the awesome link, Bentley.

I am sure I will be hearing from a lot of the folks I have given the RedwormComposting.com link to. It is getting to where I can predict how soon it will be before I hear from a friend after one of your particularly stellar posts.

Thanks again….

Thanks for helping us share our work Bentley! You’ll be happy to know we have your photo of the worms mating posted on the lab incubator with a little censorship black rectangle over the xxx action. Only vermicomposters get the joke, everyone else just looks at us funny! I should have realized who “Mark from Kansas” was when I saw his comment on the You Tube video!

Our project website is close to a public launch and I’ll keep everyone posted. On the site you’ll have access to a lot more pseudoscorpion footage (including ~50 pseudoscorpions attacking a fly!), teaching resources and scientific reports from our study. And this video will be available in a high resolution free download so people can use it for teaching and public outreach.

I always appreciate the enthusiasm and curiosity of the vermicomposting crowd, glad to be a part of it all!

Allison, any chance of sharing the percentages/amounts of each part of the base with vermiculite, greensand, rock phosphate and blood meal, please. Many thanks for a great video .. I’m forwarding it to several master gardeners already! Bob
