Food Tubes for Worm Composting do they Work? Day 0
Lately I have found many comments on the composting channels with people creating "Food Tubes". This consists of a paper towel tube or toilet paper tube stuffed with food for the worms.
After seeing so many people try this and pulling out cardboard tubes loaded with worms I thought this would be a good way to bait the worms and also show the power of worm composting.
The food was pulp that came out of the Omega juicer while making a healthy carrot, celery, spinach, and apple juice. The pulp is pretty dry although does contain a little moisture which is probably just the right amount for the worms.
Two years ago I made this bin for a friend and with the Pandemic it was all but forgotten till he reached out and brought it over to the house. Surprisingly the worms look really healthy even after two years without any castings being removed!!

The Pine Shavings Worm Bin has an interesting concundrum it seems decent moisture wise but is starting to have mites show up which I have found typically means the bedding is too wet. So I added a bit of moisture but will leave the bags off the top and see if it dries out a bit but not too much other the next week or two.

Final update on my small 10 gallon bin with multiple lemons. I didn't do many updates on this as I wanted to leave the bin alone but I think this is the last one with how the bin looks.

I added melon to lure the worms in both 10 gallon worm bins and with a successful haul of worms in bin 1 I had a second successful haul in bin 2. Now the material is still too damp at this point so we will need to continue to work on drying out the material in this system but now I have another bin that I can start adding food to as we try to get these castings in better shape.

After sitting with the lid off for over a month the top has dried out and it is time to add some food and mix the dry bedding back into the system. Overall it is looking really good and should be ready to harvest soon!

While harvesting my Urban Worm Bag (Version 1) the center fell through a bit along with a lot of material not quite ready to the garden or pots. So I'm running it through the sorting machine and will add what isn't quite ready back to the bin to be processed a second time!
