Don’t know what that is.

Vermiculite compost? Lol.

I wanna add some worms to my soil and go organic I think. Even if I smoke it, I’d rather smoke shit than chems.....
Composting with worms lol. Found a handy little trick I think and wanted to see if anyone else had tried it.

Just adding worms isn't going to help much. You have to build an environment for them and your roots. It sounds hard, but it's not. When you want to go organic, let me know.

Brewing some worm tea now for the hydro bucket and the hempys.

Let’s do it.

Don’t care to do a process so long as it’s manageable.

Not to say I can’t take a challenge. But fuck. There’s a book out there that’ll teach you to do brain surgery. Go give someone brain surgery. You know? Just don’t wanna do anything too too complicated.....

Worm tea. Hydro bucket. You gonna put worms in yo bucket and teach them to swim?!

No lol. I take the worm castings aka worm shit, which is full of bacteria, and put it in a bucket of water with some sugar and bubble it for 24hrs.

It's the more organic equivalent to running hydroguard or that gff.

Tel me more on this. Worm castings are available at Walmart ..... like not having to drive over 75 miles one way to get supplies.

Those worm castings are junk for tea in my opinion. When you raise worms, you get fresh bacteria, fungi, and the compost/castings that come with them. From the store, most of the best bacteria have died off and there's hardly any fungi, if there's any at all.

You can use the store bought ones to make a tea to feed with, but it won't be as beneficial with all the bacteria. Even homemade compost without worms has more bacteria.

Fill a pantyhose up about halfway, tie it off to the bucket, fill it with water and a cup of sugar, stir it up, and bubble for 24hrs. Then dilute it 10:1 and feed.

Hello yeah. I can do whatever I put my mind to. Can run agar plates of mycelium and make transfers to new plates. Put those to grains. Etc.
You can grow worms no problem then. If you fish or have chickens, the worms have multiple uses and the byproduct is better than anything you can buy.

If I had a 5 gal bucket . How can I make a worm farm in the bucket in summer heat and humidity?
Could you splurge and get a storage tub instead?

Heat and humidity are fine as long as the worms have good bedding, good ventilation, and are out of the sun.

Compost bucket to make worm food. Super easy to make. Kitchen scraps, grass clippings, sawdust/cardboard and some water in a 5 gal bucket with a lid.

Drainage for the worm juice. Liquid gold.

Ventilation holes all the way around.

The inside. The sawdust is bedding. Sometimes I use coco. They like it damp, not wet. So you want to put everything in there loosely and I fluff it once every other week, just to check and make sure the worms are happy.

Super easy once it gets started.

Sorry man I thought by “worm castings” you meant the store bought stuff.

Nah man. Just tell me how to start this beneficial worm farm and I’ll do it. I have a few soil plants I was gonna transplant to DWC but fuck it let’s try the living organic soil. It’s roots organic soil and haven’t fed anything non organic. So let’s do it. Fuck it. YOLO

You did tell me how just a few posts up. Thank you.

Love running a nice humid tub. Anyone else do mycology work? Have hundreds of spore prints. Some really rare ones. Free to anyone who does this kind of work. I’m firing bulk substrates back up this week and would like to run some witha. Friend from here.
