  1. Just harvested a whole bunch of #vermicompost for the first time and it was cool. Spread it throughout many plants. There are sooo many new worms in that bin, and I was able to combine two other small bins into the big one, to have a single worm bin. #worms are cool.

  2. By the way, Smiley the worm on #SesameStreet? He's red and yellow striped, and Oscar the Grouch lives in a trash can. #Compost worms are red and yellow striped. Smiley is a compost worm. The end.

  3. Does anyone in the Barry/South Wales area want a 3 tier vermicompost complete with worms?

    I can't take care of it now I'm disabled and want them to go to a good home.

    Collection only from Barry.

  4. It is nearly two years since I last tooted about my #vermicompost bin. There are simple reasons for this: the system stabilized, I got used to it, and other matters in life distracted me from writing about it. There is, however, a recent development that warrants another update. In short, ... *takes a deep breath*... I feel disappointed by my own #design and I want a different bin. Let's explore this. 🧵🔽

  5. There was a snake in the worm compost! I guess the mice must of tunneled in from the ground so hopefully it ate some mice! I got it to move so I could dump my bucket of coffee grounds and veg scraps.

  6. @futurebird @vikxin I keep my worms on a vegetarian diet. But the thirst is there. I can feel it. #vermicompost

  8. Hi Folks,

    I'm considering trying vermicompost this year because our kitchen scraps serve as deer food in the compost pile.

    Any tips? I'm considering just using the worms from my compost pile and not red wigglers since they are not native and can easily escape.

    I'm planning to use the three-bucket method.

  14. Just peeked into my worm bin out of curiosity. The most recent feeding, from last Saturday, was covered in a LAYER of worms. I could only just see bits of the underlying material between the worms, it looked exactly like a worm ball! I could literally HEAR them SQUIRM! 🪱🪱💕

    Possibly relevant recent changes:

    🪱 prefermenting all greens with lactic acid bacteria
    🪱 not adding dry bedding (only damp) because I realized the bin was a bit dry
    🪱 perhaps just population growth

  17. @hannu_ikonen check out bokashi bins, I believe that'd be the most indoor friendly way of #composting - bonus points for being able to use it for citrus, onion, and garlic peel as well as coffee grounds. We placed ours under the kitchen sink, and use two rotating bins, then cycle it though a #vermicompost #wormfarm with added #charcoal to inoculate the #carbon structure with #microorganisms and make #biochar. This should be installed outside though, or at least in a garage type of space. With its small footprint, even a balcony space works well. It may take some time to get a feel for what works best for your situation, all part of the journey 🪱♻️ The quality and potency of the #wormtea and solids is amazing - your plants will 💚 it!

  18. #vermicompost question; my worms seem to be surviving but just not really eating much? Is it possible I started them off with too much existing soil and they're cool with that?
    Also I know I only recently got their moisture back up as things got drier with the weather change. I wanna get them to a point where they're thriving! #vermicomposting #wormbin

  19. Barely had the #worms a week and I've already had to bring them inside due to a cold snap here in North Carolina. They're in a bathtub with a quarantining begonia rex a friend bought me. 🤣

    It's so, so easy to spend all day researching the "perfect" worm care. It's not even that I want the utmost best castings out of this. It's that there are ~250 lil critters relying on me to provide at least a middling quality of life.

  20. Five months in, first harvest! 🪱

    ✅ harvest from the bottom
    ✅ only the contents I wanted to take out came out (needed to scrape)
    ✅ just castings (and some undigested wood), no worms
    ✅ slightly moist but powdery and non-smelly

    I'm still slightly worried whether the remaining contents will eventually settle down or whether I will have to stir the bin with a broomstick. Other than that, this self-built flow-through worm bin is living up to its promise!

  21. 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.

  22. 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.

  23. Add #carbon to a #CompostAtHome bin

    Wood chips, sawdust, #cardboard, #newspaper or paper, dried leaves, #straw or hay, pine needles, nutshell, and last but not least #compost.

    The more it is chopped the fastest the #fungi in your bin will process it.

  24. CW: Treat for the worms

    Because the #worms are such a blessing they will receive a treat for #christmas

    Some of our #garden #flowers have not resist the extreme #cold so it will be time to remove them. They will be chopped finely and give a volume of green.

    To balance this, I will add some pine needles that are a brown. When you chop them fine those are a real treat for the worms.

  25. 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

  26. CW: Feeding the worms

    Today the #worms have been fed the content of the #CompostAtHome bin.

    If you need to start a new bin you can use the harvested #worm casting to bring the biology and keep #composting even in winter.

    Our indoor #plants love it and the #worms are very active and look happy.
