Note the cococoir seedling mat get fed right to my worms.

@Hellybootwader @paulcox Ok, I will add a toot or two to the worm box toot I currently have pinned to my profile. #WormCasts #WormCompost #Vermicast #Vermicompost
@futurebird @vikxin I keep my worms on a vegetarian diet. But the thirst is there. I can feel it. #vermicompost
I got a worm farm! Since I started trying to grow my own food and composting I've wanted one but with moving it was just one more thing to move.
So now we've moved and I have one!
Big thanks to @Uselessgeneration colleague who passed on his old worm farm.
Pretty sure I'm more excited than the average person to have pet worms now! They're mainly going to be used for composting my dog's poop - will definitely report back on how that goes!
My worm compost bin arrived! I am so excited!!!
Worms and starter kit arriving tomorrow or Tuesday .
@lizzard @compost. Regular compost is drier than worm compost for our outdoor compost pile in southern Minnesota. Have fun with the composting! @compost May have more to add. #compost, #Vermicompost, #compostodon.
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.

@Purplejavatroll. We like the Hugelkultur circle of life. The Nurse log circle of life is also wonderful. #pillbugs, #Vermicompost, #Vermiculture, #rewilding.
No. You look compostable. Into the worm farm you go. Muahahahahahaaaaa. #WormFarm #vermicompost #wormstodon #takeawayboxes

This half a pumpkin touched the back of my fridge and got frozen, because my fridge is an AH that way, so I decided to gift it to the worms in my worm casting storage/ secondary processing bin. They seem to appreciate it.
I came back later and gently scooped up the majority of these wrigglers and put them in the worm farm where there is plenty more to eat!
@Platform_Journalism. We will watch the bokashi examples for inspiration. Our four season composting is vermiculture. #minnesota. #compost, #bokashi, #Vermiculture, #Vermicompost. Compost will save the planet.
@compost. #compost is extremely successful recycling. Imagine a recycling contest in a college study. Nothing can come close to the system of food waste and members of the biological team like woodlouse, worms, mites. #Vermicompost, #Vermiculture, #compostodon, #sustainability, #foodwaste, #soildiversity, #humus, #woodlouse, #MiteMonday. Keep up the good work. Shout at the neighbors. Are you going to compost that?
@BroadforkForVictory. The podcast from Australia was a good idea. I know the soil life helps the plants access the minerals. We have compost tea and worm tea for doses. I have to hold on to the ideas about timing and more. #nodig, #compost, #Vermicompost.
@BroadforkForVictory. The allotment has great green cover crops. It will be a good compost day. #nodig, #allotment, #compost. The ground is slowly freezing here in southern #minnesota. The earthworms should be digging down for the winter. #Vermicompost, #Vermiculture
@TerryBernstein. We are not #compost professionals. The orange peels are composted. The store sticker is not. We have an outdoor compost bin and an indoor #Vermicompost station. Enjoy the November gardening.
@EVDHmn @hannu_ikonen Vermiculture is a small practice of saving the planet. It’s a circle of life. The plants photosynthesize sunshine. The red wrigglers consume the greens and the browns. The results from the business end of the worm are castings and worm tea. It is wonderful. #Vermicompost, #compost, #wormtea, #Vermiculture, #resilience, #growyourown, #climateemergency
@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!
#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
