Worms At Work – Watch A 20 Day Time Lapse Of Vermicomposting In Action...

Seriously, though, this time-lapse of worms making their way through scraps to create rich, nutrient-heavy compost is absolutely fascinating. The video shows redworms (eisenia fetida) going through 20 days of vermicomposting.

Inside the worm farm approximately 2-3 cm (1inch) thick layers of compost and sawdust were topped with layer of grass clippings. Lettuce leaves were also added to the top. Photos were taken every 10 minutes over a 20 day period and the video is played at 24 frames per second.

All composting involves live critters breaking down materials. Worms in particular seem to turn over scraps to create very fertile, usable compost and mulch. So if you’ve never considered trying it, put it on your calendar for this spring.
