What is going on everyone Kevin from Epic Gardening here as you may have guessed if you

been listening this week we are here with Steve Churchill of the Urban Worm

Company he makes the Urban Worm bag which is my favorite worm bin.

I've used five or six over the course of my life,

and I've also built some of my own.

And this is far away my favorite.

So it's really cool to have him here in the Epic Gardening

Podcast Studio.

And today we're talking about misconceptions that you might have

about either the worm composting process or just how worms work in general and how you can use

them in your garden.

And the very first question, Steve, it's one I've gotten quite a bit and

I'm sure you've gotten it much more than I have is the question, hey, can I just put any old

worm into my normal composting bin? Yeah, I get this one a lot and the answer is no.

If you are successfully doing hot composting,

then you are gonna have a material that is probably 130 to 150

degrees Fahrenheit.

The worms, of course, are fleshy creatures just like you and I we would not survive in that

environment and neither would they and this is just one of the downsides of

having a term called verma composting because people think it's just a subset of composting when it's actually a completely different

different process and it is a it's a physical process whereas composting is much more of a chemical process.

But again, yeah, you do not want to put worms in your normal compost.
