Kombucha SCOBY Worm Bin Experiment + lemon update | Vermicompost Worm Farm

Will compost worms consume a piece of kombucha SCOBY? Is it safe for for a worm bin? Will it cause outbreaks of mites or pot worms? We will find out in this kombucha SCOBY worm bin experiment as 3000+ red wigglers & blue worms turn their food scrap feeding & hopefully the kombucha SCOBY into natural fertilizer & soil amendments for my garden!

In addition to our SCOBY experiment, in this video we continue to side feed & checkin in on the lemon half we put in this Vermihut worm tower 7 days ago. I also added a sneak peek of the SCOBY 2 days later...not enough time for any results but a few worms have discovered it. And of course there are several worm balls as I dig in & uncover the previous feeding zone!!

Epigeic worms or composting worms are fascinating natural composters & fertilizers that are in most homesteaders bag of tricks to make free organic fertilizer & soil amendments as well as fishing bait.
