Another experiment proves me wrong as my red wiggler compost worms tear through a huge blended blob of long term food scraps turning them into natural organic fertilizer for my garden in the form of worm castings right before our eyes in a time lapse!! This will help you decide if you should blend your food scraps for your worms!
In this video we also start a new experiment with shrimp shells to see if we can watch the worms devour them and to see if they will form a worm ball in an avocado shell on the surface of my VermiHut worm Tower. And you'll get all my tips and tricks for running a worm bin along the way! Here is the results video: [ Ссылка ]
