Worms and Biochar: Increase Microbial Bio-Diversity 2024

Video Description

Biochar is a powerful tool to increase increase microbial biodiversity and expand the microorganisms available to your worms. Microorganisms account for most of the food worms consume inside of your worm bin. Often, we think our worms eat food scraps, but it is actually the microbial life on the food scraps what feed our worms. With this in mind, there are different things you can do to improve biodiversity in your vermiculture system, one of them being adding biochar. Biochar works like coral reef inside of your worm bin. Given that your worms work very hard to make the best organic fertilizer for you, my hope is that this video will continue to inspire you to try new things to improve the quality of life of your worms!
