I regret not watching your videos before I started. Solid info! I’ve replaced my bubble wrap with one that has bigger bubbles and it’s so much easier to pick off the slackers.

And because you've been such good Wormies staying in your new home... Road Trip! whoo! lol

Great video for anyone wanting to start a worm bin.

Want to commend you on the good advice you give us worm farmers! I especially enjoy your Vermihut series where I learned a lot myself even after doing it for almost 4years. In addition I have an Urban Worm bag also. BUT I am most proud of my four 17 gallon totes with 15 gallon grow bags inside. I keep damp cardboard on the bottom of the bin that the bags rest on.

Oh Patrick, Patrick, Patrick. Does Autumn know you started another worm bin?? I see you caught the worm going rogue up the side! He was making a run for it.

What a fantastic video! I'm binging on several! I've been putting this off for long enough. It does get cold here in Tennessee and I'm not real sure if inside is where I wanna grow my worms so I'm trying to figure all that out!
You explain things very well and I appreciate that! I hope to add "worm farmer" to my list very soon!!
Best of luck to you!

A note of thanks for your Vermicompost channel. I recently did a workshop for a gardener's group and spoke about Vermiculture. Your information and experiments has been helpful as I expand my colony of worms and have a diverse set of bins. I live in zone 9B on the Space Coast and you are also located in a similar zone, I find your information useful since we can relate with similar weather conditions. I shared with the group your channel link is well worth watching to help them get started with their worm composting. Many thanks!

sure hope my 4 tray 360 worm bin is enough... we fill our coffee can size compost / kitchen cuttings can 1 - 1.5x a week. Thanks for your vid.

Nice informative overview 👍🏻 6th iteration of the tiny worm bin now underway... yay!

[ames]

Wow! Very well explained! Thank you! 😊

[texaspatty]

Clear and accurate. What a great into video!

[hardhunter]

Great video! Learn by doing. I'm not quite ready for second bin yet, maybe next year. But thanks for all the good information you put in your videos.

[-ChrisD]

Great job on this one. Thorough and instructive, well done!

[clivesconundrumgarden]

Fantastic Brother !! Perfect presentation. Really shows how much you've Learned by Doing 🤜🤛
Awesomeness 👍👍👍

[TheDumplingMan]

Great video for beginners Patrick! It's been a joy to watch the video although I (re)started several bins myself. Good road trip to you, Autumn and the grandworms. :D

[GardenMyselfHappy]

Hi, I'm a new subscriber and starting to set up a bucket style wormery. I've found your advice really helpful and in a small bin too. Thanks for sharing
Merry Christmas, Jane

[pa.fishpreacher]

should the coffee grounds be dry? I sprayed some old coffee that was not used with some water. Will that cause it to heat up? i know coffee is a nitrogen source ( I add it to my compost piles all the time. I didn't leave my lid off and probably fed to much based on your video. thanks for sharing the knowledge

[annsalty]

I think if everyone watched your videos more people would be worm composting! Very excellent instructions and thorough. 👍🪱🪱🪱🪱
