It might be a pretty good source. He mentions how some people just make videos. His is supposed to be about truth. As long as that is indeed the truth, then it should be okay.
Here are some "keys"
- Worms breathe through their skin. The skin is intolerant to acid, which may build up if the compost is too wet. ( carbon dioxide turns into carbonic acid )
- Reproduction is asexual. Eggs go into a cocoon.
- They avoid light.
- He uses plywood, which is raised off the ground.
- Mold is a pest. Avoid it.
- Have a way for the bed to drain ( drain holes )
- Beds and containers for the worms.
- They live in the top six inches. Maybe a bit deeper bed for living outside.
- They live in compost, not dirt.
- When compost goes into heat phase, it will kill of the worms.
- Be careful with using paper. Peat moss must be dried out.
- Pests need to be controlled. No treated wood.
- Use pure, crushed dolomite to control insects--- not garden lime. Make sure not hydrolyzed.
- Tricks to control ants--- use a can of oil under bottom of posts.
- Some types of insects not harmful. ( springtails?)
- Centipedes and millipedes. One of these will eat worms. Dolomite gets the one that doesn't.
- Most important thing-- not too much food. No more food than a day's worth.
- A small sprinkle is all the water needed.
