@Armornone I have …
@Armornone I have studied this to the utmost degree. There have been trials and studies that prove otherwise. Traditional compost is more or less tilth for the soil, vermicompost has way more beneficial protozoa, bacteria, and actinomycetes, because it is done at mesophilic temperatures. Traditional composting is an aerobic process that is heat intensive during the process of it settling to “normal” temps the beneficial bacteria die. I can send you scientific studies if you don’t believe.
@Gtor3636 Dude, you …
@Gtor3636 Dude, you get the same result without dealing with all the worms.
Nature will break down the stuff naturally, you don’t need worms to eat it.
This worm idea is horrible, its done by people who can’t wait. I am sure those worms take a lot of energy and stuff away from your compost.
Stick to the natural way.
@Armornone Wrong, …
@Armornone Wrong, traditional composting has significantly less beneficial bacteria.

That caught my eye too. I hope the girl in this video drives more safely from now on for her own sake. Driving with no hands is very dangerous.
I appreciated the lesson on vermiculture, though. I’m thinking about starting a worm composting bin myself. I have a compost pile outside, but I’d like to try vermiculture as well. At least now I know to leave the lid ON!

could be a movie, ok short video.

Well it was a good story. I do want to draw your attention to something. In Canada, it’s against the law to let go of the steering wheel while driving. On several occasions during your clip you let go of the wheel for several seconds. In the event of an unexpected change of road conditions or something jumping out in front of your car, you would not be able to react correctly. If this clip were see by law enforcement in your area, you could be fined or face suspension of you licence. Be careful.
