Harvesting, Counting & Restarting 3 Gallon Tiny Worm Bin + Worm Time Lapse | Vermicompost Worm Farm

How many red wiggler compost worms will reproduce in a 3 gallon worm bin over 5 months? Find out as I harvest & reset this Tiny Worm Bin after I count every worm (in super fast motion).

First I check the last feeding we gave and take out the big pieces of cardboard we used to dry the bin. Then I slowly drive my self crazy as I count every baby worm, every juvenile worm, and every adult worm I can find, with the help of The Executive Producer. It took us over and hour and a half but we did it and gave the worms a bath to try to rinse off residual mites from the blooms we got the last few weeks. Finally we reset the worm bin in a time lapse so we can start this worm bin from scratch so they can turn my food scraps and shredded cardboard into natural organic fertilizer & soil amendments in the form of worm castings for my garden!!

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. If you've ever thought about vermicomposting or composting with worms to make organic fertilizer & natural soil amendments with your plant based kitchen scraps or food waste, this is the channel for you. I have 3 worm composing bins which you can watch from start to finished worm castings on the 3 playlists following each worm bin.
