Yes, I agree with Marty. It takes a little longer, then BOOM. I've been more focused with composting and worm farming for about 3 years now, and this Summer I had the BOOM! The soil just gave a real boost to perennials that I'd been nurturing for 5 years and the annuals powered. Keep going with your worm bins, I am. Learning as we go, and a big thanks to Marty

I know jealousy is an ugly trait but I don't mean it negatively. I'm so jealous of where you live and how much you're able to do. I'm stuck in a town where the zoning planner drives around almost military style looking for any signs of non-compliance. They tell you what kind of trees and plants you can put in your front yard and which you can't. I hate it here, but for many reasons I won't go into, i can't move not now anyway. Even gardens, simple vegetable gardens are considered 'farming' If you grow more than your family size will reasonably eat. Wtf, I always grow more than I'll eat at the time of harvest. I give lots away and I preserve. They've yet to come peek under the leaves of my plants to verify quantity, but I wouldn't put it past them.

Thanks Marty you are an inspiration. I’m moving soon. The new place has bare red clay soil(the kind that stains everything) I am thinking of getting truckloads of woodchip in to just cover all the exposed soil with it quite thickly. I’d add coffee grounds and let it sit there for a year. I reckon I can implement your system of open bottomed worm farms where I’d add my kitchen scraps and maybe scraps from the local cafe/shops too. After the first year I’m hoping to scratch up a couple of veggie beds by just moving aside some of the decaying woodchip to plant into - might need to add some compost, we’ll just see. Eventually I hope to have enough money put aside to make some raised garden beds- we are not getting any younger😊 Anyway I’d appreciate any advice on this plan/dream.

You could pile the woodchips in 6ft x6ft piles and layer it with grass clippings, kitchen scraps,and any plant matter and you could also scrape up the top layer of clay and layer that in the piles too,after a month or two it'll be nutrient dense almost completely processed top soil, you can leave it for 6 months or even a year then you'd have high quality compost fertilizer,you want to make sure get a good ratio of scraps/plant matter to wood chips and u don't want too big of piles of just straight chips cuz it could catch on fire from the internal heat

I've actually never seen so many of them on the top tray - I've got the tumbleweed can-o-worms. On a large scale the smell would probably not be good - but a good resource that would otherwise be discarded and end up in landfill.

Hey Marty have you thought about building an aerated static pile? It would eliminate a lot of the turning. I'm curious about your worm bins. From the vid it sounds like there's no bottom and the worms come and go as they please. Is this correct?
@martysgarden
3 жыл бұрын
Hi Eric, I have thought about that,,and will look at a static systems when I have more space. The big worms farms have no bottoms and this allows the worms to roam freely. Keep in mind I have hundreds of thousands of worms through the system. So I can do this. The large farms are designed to hold stocks so I don't lose worms every time I sell my compost. It's been working really well so far for me. I am working on this system as an offgrid design that can be applied in developing nations to create income. If all goes well it will be taught overseas in the next year or two. Thanks for watching Marty😀
