African Nightcrawlers - Protein Poisoning? 03/8/2023
The bin is cold and I'm sure the worms aren't liking it at all since these African Nightcrawlers prefer temperatures in the 80s. I'm hoping to make some changes next winter to help them out but for now they are still in the system waiting for that warmer weather.
Finally Fly free and ready for a feeding. I'll continue to monitor and make sure nothing else comes out but hopefully we can get this bin churning out the castings!

The red worms are doing great in the Hamster Bedding but I think the new bedding I'm using for my hamster might be slowing down how quickly they can consume it. Also adding Diatomaceous earth as it is anti caking which should help prevent the castings from clinging together.

Finally got around to setting up the new Urban Worm Bag V2.0 and loading it with some European Nightcrawlers. This video will cover the changes made and show how I prepared the bag system for the worms.

Lots going on in this system from plants growing to the bin drying out way too much. I'm going to get the bin up and working fully again and hopefully expand to more systems with the ANC worms!

Well after a rough first week things seemed to get a bit better but I'm still dealing with a large heat issue in my VermiBag. I removed the bag covering the inside of the bin to allow more air hoping things would cool off a bit and added a more dry bedding material.
To really see what is happening with the Bokashi added I might have to dump out or really dig down to see how things are going. There is still a smell but no wear near as bad as when I first dumped the Bokashi contents out.
So far I'm really impressed with the VermiBag and how well it is handling the material and how much air can flow through the bag.

Well I have two new vermicomposting bags to compare with the Urban Worm Bag. I just received the Mini and Max versions of the system. This video shows me removing the bags from the shipping box and going over them. I'll have a more detailed review and video on building the frame later.

Happy to see so many baby worms in the system. Leaving the cover off a bit helped dry it out but it still didn't need any water. The hemp bedding is also breaking down really well which is a good sign.
