Good night friend
Neat!
Thank you SO MUCH for demonstrating your outdoor worm bag harvest method, Patrick. I appreciate your dedication to picking out the worms individually so we get to enjoy a time-lapse😊 I guess I never realized the size of this bag before. Having you kneeling beside it really gave me a good perspective. It's not as big as I thought for that many worms! My bet is it will take the worms longer than you think to get through all that dense avocado flesh. Mmmm….lobster 🦞

Thanks, My Dear, for the shout out! I'm so glad your worms are getting the benefit of your "Dad Meal" 🪱🪱🪱
That's a great idea about harvesting the outside lip of the bag. You are tempting me to give bags a try. 👍💓👍
Ah your killing me with the Tshirt lol it's 20 here. Glad the time lapse is back. I think you have won me over and will be using one of my damaged grow bags as a worm bin. And the EP throws a flag on the field. Oh no flag ignored!!
@05:59 Oh no…. typo! It was fun seeing that extra hand reach in to help when you were picking the wormies out fo the screened material. That was a seriously generous feeding alright 🙂 When I grind up the egg shells I always run it all through a kitchen strainer to make sure it is all tiny particle size… and since eggs have that thin inner membrane that adheres to the shells, I do all the straining of the small particles with a fan blowing so that all that lightweight, dusty membrane material blows away. Kind of an OCD approach to grit prep, I know – hahaha! Presumably, the crustacean shell would not have any of that membrane stuff to contend with – but I would not know. I don't eat anything that lives underwater
That's cool, I need to do this. I was thinking about one of those 5 gallon bucket sifters, but I do have an extra vermi-hut tray like that one. Funny you have three arms. lol Steak and lobsta, good stuff. I shreded a bunch of boxes after Christmas and I have probably a year supply of cardboard shreddings. lol Thanks for another great video, have a nice week.
Great job Peggy. Great job to you to Patrick. 🙂
Biggest avocado ever!! Wow!
Thank you that was very interesting, nice feeding you gave them i gues it will be gone in 2 weeks
