Can A Worm Bin Replace Your Trash Can? | Vermicompost Worm Farm

Checking my Urban Worm Bag harvest to see if I can start treating my worm bin like a trash can where I just throw whole food scraps, unprocessed cardboard & paper in the top & get natural organic fertilizer in the form of worm castings out of the bottom for my garden!! We also feed the worm bin a huge banana tree flower & start to increase the feedings. In this video we go over the basics of running a worm bin & find out how long it takes food scraps to go in at the top & come out as vermicompost from the bottom! I also show you how bananas form from their flowers and why a freeze stops all ripening of the bananas. Epigeic worms or composting worms are fascinating natural composters & fertilizers that are in most homesteaders bag of tricks to make free organic fertilizer & soil amendments as well as fishing bait.
