Yay @quochuy! I wish I lived in Australia, I'd totally get your little worm farm. We made ours out of repurpose buckets but so far they are staying alive!
Any chance to buy your E book as a separate product?
Welcome and so glad to see you.

Hey @thetreeoflife! Actually @quochuy is so amazing he already made the e-book free to download on his website! Here is the link: https://thelittlewormfarm.com/storage/app/media/uploaded-files/eBooks/Worm%20Starter%20Mix.pdf
I am hoping he will included it as a free product on Homesteaders Co-op under his store as well for more exposure!
Brilliant, thanks for the link! 😊
Our worms are still alive after setting them up 3 days ago so I'm hopeful, but we could use some guidance! 😂
Nice going! I am sure @quochuy would be happy to answer any questions you might have after reading his guide :)
Almost any container is good for a worm bin but ones with more surface area are better because that what’s affect the size of the population.

That is absolutely fantastic. I will definitely be ordering some when I get back from my thing. I hope we get more Australians selling stuff as well. I am going to have to look into what I can sell as well of course.

Yay for Australian steem commerce!
Voted for @quochuy!
@thetreeoflife is gonna be the US worm supplier. ...Right? :)
Glad to see another country added to the list. Pretty soon we'll be able to say "the sun never sets on the ethical permaculture commerce empire!"
Haha can we quote you on that @nateonsteemit?
I hadn't thought about it.... But we are getting pretty darn good at making 3gal double tiered worm farms. 😂 And they are perfect size for an apartment closet.
Haven't gotten much tea yet but maybe after we refine our worming techniques we can US supply. We are always looking for ways to create income as well as community in our off grid!
Ps... Also voted for @QuocHuy!

It's on chain, of course you can quote it ;)
It'll be a cool business! If you don't do it, I will. :) Youre only a few days in, so the worms haven't had time to make tea yet I imagine. I wonder if that stuff would benefit from aeration like compost tea... 🤔
I'd imagine so, the aerobic bacteria would probs appreciate it.
I have heard you can keep worm castings for up to 3 years so long as they are aerated, I haven't heard how long you can keep worm tea.
I hope for at least some time... We won't be gardening till spring. And we hope to transform our landlords land using worm power alone. 😂 🐛🐛💪

In the worm world, there is tea and tea...
What comes out of a worm bin due to an excess of moisture is commonly (and wrongly) called worm tea or worm wee. But it is neither. It is actually a leachate. The excess moisture from the added food or water that
seepsthrough the layers of the worm bin and gets collected in the bottom tray. That leachate can contain the good stuffs from the finished compost in each tray but also contains indigested food and because of that it contain some phytotoxic compounds. The leachate sometimes stay in the collection tray for many days and thus become anaerobic. If one insists on using the leachate then two things can help reduce the risks: use the leachate as soon as it is produced and dilute it 1 part leachate for 10 part water.Proper compost tea is obtain by
steepingsome finished compost or finished vermicompost in water and aerate it by either stirring the mixture or using an air pump through some sort of air diffuser. This extracts nutrients and microorganisms out of the compost and keep the tea oxygenated. Adding some microorganism food (fish hydrolysate, molasses etc...) will feed the bacteria, fungi etc... and allow them to multiply.Thank you for the vote!

Awesome info. Thanks. We were having a challenging time figuring out the difference between leachate and tea. It makes much more sense now!

Thanks for the shout out!
Vermicomposting not only allows you to divert waste from landfills, it also produces the best soil amendment Nature can offer.
One little clarification, I’m not yet into Permaculture and what I do is just what I feel is right with a mix of techniques and tips learned from other internet gardeners.

You're welcome!
Oops I am sorry Quoc Huy. I just assumed you were because my observations of your work and thinking looks very permaculture from where I am sitting... maybe it is the same mindset without applying the label. I will be happy to make that edit.
No problem at all. I could be applying some permaculture techniques without knowing it 😂

The label is not as important as the intention :)

Awesome! A good worm farm is the basis for clean kitchen garbage. Black soldier flies are the perfect extension of it, to use up all the non-vegetarian kitchen waste. Add a spirulina cultivator, and you'll have everything you need for some wonderful fish-food, the only element missing from most typical aquaponic systems, to close all the loops.
Props, props, lots of props! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing this good info :)
