  1. If I could give only one piece of advice about how to setup a worm bin.

    Don't overfeed it.

    Let the worms the time to consume the food and feed them about 2 times a week the volume of food they need.

    Not doing this will attract unwanted visitors to your bin.

  6. A lot of pepper #seeds have sprouted in a #worm bin, the moisture, temperature, and nutrients made those seeds germinate because I keep the worm casting shallow. The #worms love it.

  11. January is the moment to start a #worm bin if you want to have some #vermicast for #spring and #seedlings.

    It takes about 3 months for a bin to be ready to harvest.

    Then you can either do aerated #compost #tea or apply the casting on your beds.

  15. Working on gathering organic matter to create a new #CompostAtHome bin for the #newyear

    The goal of this bin will be to have #compost for making a potting mix to start #seeds #indoors.

    Greens will be leaves of lettuce and arugula leaves of plants that were damaged by the winter storm. Browns will be wood chips, and maple tree leaves. The compost will be made of #vermicast and harvested compost at home bins.

  19. Because it will soon be the time to start #seeds #indoors, I wanted to share my #PottingMix recipe for #seedlings:
    #worm casting 1 volume
    #compost 1 volume
    #garden soil 1 volume

    The #vermicast keeps the mixture moist and helps the #seed germinate faster.
    The compost is made with more #carbon and #WoodChips to give a good texture
    The garden #soil helps the #seedling not have a #transplant issues.

  23. CW: What is leachate in a worm bin?

    Leachate is the result of the excess moisture that you can collect from a #worm bin

    The main problem that you will have from it is that there is a good chance that this liquid will be anaerobic. Bad #bacteria have developed in this liquid because it has been standing for too long without oxygen.

    To avoid this issue it is best to adjust the amount of water in your worm bin and have no #leachate.

  27. @harshad That is so right. We owe everything we have to the life in our soils that sustains us.

    Even though I know my soil is alive with worms there’s always a bit of relief to see them whenever I uncover any soil. They are a joy. #SoilHealth #Soil #Vermicast #Vermiculture

  31. CW: Feeding the worms

    @suevb @nicole2g Mine are in the shed too with a little extra cardboard wrapped around the outside of their bin to keep them a bit warmer while still well ventilated. -4°C last night. I can’t check them until tomorrow. 🪱 #worms #vermiculture #vermicast #vermicompost

  34. @nicole2g @compost I’ve never used peat as an ingredient in making my own compost but I will add leaf mould to a compost mix for seedlings.

    Next year I may experiment a little and add #Vermicast #Bokashi or #IMO made from rice water to the potting mix.

    The compost is made from anything and everything I can get my hands on at the time. I will compost everything except brambles.
