【SDGs】300 Worms vs Banana ＃vermicompost ＃earthworm

Experiment of vermicompost. You can understand how earthworms and microorganisms decompose garbage.
Vermicompost can not only decompose garbage ecologically but also create natural fertilizer.

Crazy how my parents are thinking their son is probably studiying to be a docter or an engineer while he is watching a video of worms eating banana.

I was raised by worms from a young age and this video brings back memories. Thank you!

WOW. Its amazing to see all the micro organisms at work in quality compost. Worms were definitely not alone at work here, simply amazing how nature works

If he were to cut the banana in half length wise they might have finished it off in half the time. The waxy cover on the banana kept it from breaking down. I always cut fruit and veggies up to speed up the decay process by exposing the softer fleshy parts

Took them almost 3 weeks to eat that banana... I could have eaten the whole thing in less than 10 seconds

My wife and I decided to try worm composting when our state passed mandatory composting laws. Instead of putting it in the yard waste bin we decided to try to get the great fertilizer for our gardening attempts. We use a subpod (not advertising for that here) and started with 2k worms and I have been honestly amazed how much they have eaten of 4 large watermelons, countless bananna peels. Once I shucked 10 ears of corn and put the husks in and it took a bit but its all gone. The amount of shreadded paper we've used to provide absolutely amazing how much they go through and how much volume they reduce it to after castings are produced. I'm nowhere near filling either side of it with castings but I'v put at least 10 times worth of food and paper volume wise through there.

why Potassium is important in plants:
- Potassium regulates the opening and closing of stomata thus regulating the uptake of CO2 thus enhancing photosynthesis.
- It triggers activation of important biochemical enzymes for the generation of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP provides energy for other chemical and physiological processes such as excretion of waste materials in plants.
- It plays a role in osmoregulation of water and other salts in plant tissues and cells.
- Potassium also facilitates protein and starch synthesis in plants.
- It activates enzymes responsible for specific functions.

That was so interesting. To see how well the worms devoured the banana. Thanks for sharing.

Another type of food the worms love is pumpkin, if you got a spare pumpkin or an old one or got to many, put some quarter cuts or half cut pumpkin in the freezer for a day or 2, freezing it makes it go soggy and very soft, after take it out leave it to room temperature and then put it in your worm farm with the skin side facing up, the worms really love pumpkin like they did the banana. 👍

RIP banana (2022-2022)
You will be missed dearly

Great video. I was struggling to figure out how much I should feed my worms, and that's helped a lot! Thanks!

[pozzee]

Absolutely loved this video, so educational
Maybe for us who are not as aware, a comment on what was eating the banana and thus what the worms were eating would have been good. But I did find out through reading the comments.
Thank you for doing the video on a full just ripe banana for your experiment.

That's it I'm going to start me my own worm garden to make my own worm castings for my plants that is just too cool to see in time lapse thank you for sharing!

[kelleycarter]

Great video!!! Thanks a lot, very informative! I just started a worm bin with 250 worms. Got them out of the big compost pile in the yard so they're not all big but either way thanks for just setting it in there. It's shows how long it would take in nature VS how we can be creative with this knowledge! Well Appreciated! 😁

[soujrnr]

Worms are simply amazing!!! Thanks for sharing this! My wife and I are on our way outside right now to build a new compost bin. Our chickens are crap factories, and there is simply nothing better for our gardens and flower beds than "seasoned" chicken manure from the compost pile!!

I gotta find a away to become a Saint if I don't want to end up like the Banana.

[ronniemead]

Short and sweet and to the point. This is how I like videos.

[mosg]

Thank you for sharing this! They love tomatoes too. :)

Nature Trip, nice video keep up the great content

[andrewbloom]

Me at the beginning: "Fortunately the time lapse means we don't have to actually SEE the worms"
At the end: OH DEAR GOD I THOUGHT I WOULDN'T HAVE TO SEE WORMS
