I have worms in my compost barrel but I never put worms in my K100 bucket since the food only stays in there 30 days then I transfer to my compost barrel and it really gets hot in there and worms do not like it too hot- will kill them but hey, I never tried it.

No, Bokashi uses an oxygenless environment to ferment the food scraps. The worms would suffocate. However, after the food scraps have fermented in the Bokashi bucket for two weeks they can be added to a worm bin (in small amounts) to be converted into vermicompost.

No -- it is really meant to ferment kitchen scraps and should be kept relatively airtight while it is "cooking." I am pretty sure worms would die in there.

This is strictly a de worming product. You need a different package for those things.

Yes i beleive this would work for checking for worms .you might want to order extra slides.

Should be safe. nematodes eat the larva in the ground. They shouldn't give your cat worms.

no, the worms are not included. there is a website listed in the directions that will give you a listing of worm farms. i got mine from uncle jim. lol

While you technically can, I've always been told that the tumbling action will kill them before they have a chance to do anything. This type of composer is best for rotting and not worm based. A standard compost pile would be better for worms.

If they are what I think they are, they are called pot worms. They thrive in low PH and high moisture conditions. They wont hurt anything but they mean that your bin is too wet for the red worms (which are red when born). Add some newspaper, straw, dry leaves or finely ground egg shells (or even a combination of all) then mix in with current bin contents to help dry up excess moisture. Bin bedding should only be as wet as a wrung out sponge. After correcting give it a few days to get back to normal. White worms will dissolve into your compost so no need to remove. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Yes, the worms are ordered separately. You should have your factory on hand/setup before the worms arrive.

That is actually exactly what I purchased and used it for. Well, the worms anyway. There are a few different sized sieves in the kit. I started with the largest one to get the larger chunks of soil and worms out of my compost material, and then reduced the size of the sieve until I was left with uniform pieces of soil. It worked like a charm for me. I would definitely advise that you dry the kit after each use. Mine rusted much faster than I was expecting. I'll be buying another one soon, but take it as a word of caution.

No worms - you've got to buy separately, but got mine from uncle Jim's a couple months ago and they're still going strong.

U could, but its not that effective. They don't absorb well. You're better off using vermiculite for your mud problem, or try to dispense your water more evenly. Verm is very airy and absorbs great

A plastic container with a lid, like from sour cream or a spread. poke small holes in the lid to allow air in. The worms are shipped in crumpled news paper, so you will need to provide food, like wheat germ, apple, bread, ground up cereal, etc

Yes you could pick up Giaridia or worms in the yard, especially if animals defecate there. It will get on the outside of the ball.

Well, worms are a natural by-product of composting. The worms eat the food scraps and their waste is what makes up the compost and the compost tea. You would not actually have to put worms in the compost tumbler with your food scraps, they come naturally to eat the scraps. I don't think THIS compost tumbler is meant to house worms or be a WORM composter. There are special compost devices specifically for WORM COMPOSTING.

the box is pretty well marked and the worms are in bedding inside a nylon kinda bag (nice) and then in a box. the worms come with instructions on how to care for them as soon as you get em. they thrive nicely but they WILL get out of the bed you put em in. not bad though cause more worms means more worms in the long run.

Yes he can, as long as the worms are no bigger than his head. So Yu can feed him anything that is not bigger than the space between his eyes, hope this was a help ;)

Partially; some insects and eggs and nematodes are pretty small. You might consider heating/drying the soil to sterilize it.
