African Nightcrawlers Swarming the Food or Bedding? 7/27/2021
It has only been 11 days but these African Nightcrawlers are relentless on consuming the bedding material. Food was still left in the system and while the worms were in the area they really seemed to be going after the bedding more than the banana peels in the system.
A few people have asked questions about BTi and what I'm doing so here is a video showing the simple process I'm using to add this solution to all my systems and ensuring it is activated.

Here is a video of me sorting the worms for shipping. I also do this when a bin has become too wet and I need to replenish the materials.

This system is still doing amazing and luckily we had a bit more material we could add this time to keep it going. But I think we might need to do a bit of sorting soon with how quickly the worms are moving through material and how many are happy with the bedding/food these systems are getting.

It has been a long time since I last had an update on my Vermibag Max and the system has been chugging along in the background as a summer workhorse. As we move towards winter I will need to try and close the top up and hold as much moisture in as possible but during the summer it really sheds the excess moisture to keep the compost nice and loose!

Had an emergency as my freezer needed a to defrost and all the food scraps needed to be added to my bins. The Urban Worm Bag received a lot a week ago but now it is time to see how the worms are doing with this feeding.
