Urban Worm Bag Version 1 - African Nightcrawlers Still Around!! 08/17/2022
I left this system a little longer than expected but it appears the African Nightcrawlers are doing okay. Hopefully with the extra moisture and food they will continue to grow and hopefully we will start to see some baby urban worm bag.
After having the worms sit for over two months they should be ready for a large feeding and probably some water with how dry it has been. Adding this much food to the Urban Worm bag shouldn't be an issue.

I know we have touched on this multiple times but I have had some really great comments about bedding and especially cardboard so here is a video on a good source for cardboard!
This video was from a few years ago but I still get large sheets from Sam's Club and Costco and have never been questioned or stopped when taking the sheets. A few of the other stores such as Target would not allow me to take the boxes as they reuse them.

It has been 5 days since I added the food tubes as the first time the food was gone and the tubes were nearly gone as well. So I started this test again with some frozen food tubes to see if I could slow the worms appetite enough to be able to see them fill the tube.

Approaching a month since we harvested and added some compost rolls to the Urban Worm Bag and it is time to take a look and see if they are consuming this or if it needs more time. If the food is gone it might be time to do another harvest as well but will have to check the bag first and see.

So many are asking if worms can process citrus so I thought this might show you the truth that yes they can.

It has been quite some time since my last update and it is time to check out the Urban Worm Bag and see how it is doing with the European Nightcrawlers. I have been adding food frequently to the bin most of which is the pulp that comes out of my juicer. So the worms have been eating lots of carrot, celery, and spinach pulp.
If you have any questions about the items in this video leave a comment and I will get back to you!

Not sure what I'm seeing in the urban worm bag with the European Nightcrawlers but I'm hoping it doesn't cause an issue later. Either way we will keep feeding the worms with large quantities of food and keep the system moving along.

I have had my European Nightcrawlers in my Urban Worm Bag but decided to test them in a bin/tote with Coco Coir as a bedding material. No worms this time but this is only the initial setup to get the microbes and bacteria going so the worms can chow down right away!

I had a brick of Coco Coir ready to go this time and added some to the system. Hopefully this will help increase the moisture as we come around to spring and summer here. The higher temperatures should help the African nightcrawlers build up in population and next winter we can do some hot composting to keep the temperatures up.
