A viewer suggested putting my cardboard into the shredder instead of doing it by hand. I was always worried about breaking the shredder but thought I would give it a try. See how the cardboard and shredder turned out!
Time to add some more food to the bin along with some fresh bedding and crushed egg shells. Hopefully the bin is doing well!

While the red worms love the hamster bedding the one issue I have found is bugs really like it as well. I added some dolomite to try and tap down on the fruit flies and fungus gnats and we will see if this helps keep the numbers low.

Long time between updates and wow the worms are still alive and the castings look amazing. If it was Spring I would have wanted to harvest the entire vermibag with how perfect the castings seemed to be. With it being winter I added more food, some Vitamix Foodcycler output, and water and covered it back up!

After a rough second try adding Bokashi to my worm bins I thought I would try a soil factory method Instead. I also switched from a dual bucket system to a single bucket method with carbon (paper/pellets) to absorb moisture.
Last instead of doing multiple videos this time I decided to do a single video from beginning to end showing the process and how it turned out.

Here is a time lapse video taken over 19 days to show how worms consume shredded vs blended food.
I have done other tests with this in the past and this shows how differently the worms work on food depending on how it is prepared.

I know many people are confused by all the different sources of paper bedding you can use. Hopefully this will help you decide on what you can or should use in your worm bins!
