Brandy’s Garden Using and Raising Worms in a Raised Bed
Hey everyone, it’s Brandy, and I’m super excited to share a new chapter in my gardening journey with you. Today, I unbox something I’ve been eyeing for a while – a worm composter from Vego Garden that I snagged for $49.95 (That’s not an affiliate link. I just like the worm composter, so feel free to click it!)
In my latest video, “Worm Farming in Raised Beds,” I take you through my front-side garden, also known as the ‘blue door garden.’ It’s where I’ve faced some challenges with raised beds, but hey, that’s gardening for you – always something to learn and improve.
These beds, built with pickets during the wood craze of 2021, have served me well, but it’s time for a revamp. I experimented with different methods like hugelkultur, but it didn’t quite hit the mark. Now, I’m diving into the world of worm farming with this cool composter.
Why worms? Well, they’re not just slimy little creatures; they’re like garden superheroes. Worm castings are gold for your plants, helping with soil aeration and providing top-notch compost. Plus, it’s an excellent solution for recycling kitchen scraps.
In the video, I unbox this sturdy composter that honestly looks like a heavy-duty laundry basket. Vego Garden even threw in a cute magnet with care instructions. No onions, garlic, or meat bones – got it!
Now, the fun part begins. I’m planting this worm composter in one of my beds, and if it works out, I might become a full-fledged worm farmer. Worm tea, anyone?
I’m sharing the whole process – digging the hole, preparing the bedding with compost, cardboard, and leaves, and, of course, adding the stars of the show: the worms. Not just any worms, I’m thinking of going for red wigglers; they’re like the rockstars of the composting world.
If you’re curious about this worm farm or thinking of becoming a fellow worm wrangler, check out the full video here.
