You did fine, sounds like you are off to a good start. The chicken layer mash is supposed to make the worms lay eggs quicker, but it is a matter of opinion....
If you put a light over the bin, they won't come out. Only thing I can see from what I read is the bedding you put in there may be heating up. The bedding...
Guess what? I took the worms back and they told me they sold me the wrong kind of worms. I wanted redworms not jumping worms that they also called red...
I agree with les. You are doing fine. A light will keep them down. two things on the escape. One: if you have a window rattler the vibration may have...
Hi Elaine, When all of your worms escaped the first time, was it raining at the time? Worms can sense hi-low pressures, and will escape no matter how good...
Elaine, Well, if they aren't composters they would be earth worms and they won't live long in a compost environment. They are built way different inside, but...
<<And lastly - if you can raise a human, worms will be no problem.>> Very funny David LOL!!!!! Okay I'm putting everything you all are telling me in my memory...
Connie, those other worms are long gone, I took them back to the store and got my money back. I now have what is supposed to be redworms. I was getting ready...
Elaine, Where is here? In any case you can probably raise worms outside unless it gets too cold. If you are using a tub it will need to be in good shade, but...
I'm in Okeechobee, Florida. It gets pretty hot here, and I only have one shady area-open areas get scorched in the sun. I already have to water my garden twice...

Barbara, Well, I didn't "get it" after all, my last worms died. I don't know what to do. It was not hot. It looks like when I put them in, they just died. Now...
The worms you find in a manure pile (that has composted out the heat) is what you want to use for vermicomposting. They are called a lot of different names in...
I've had 2 lbs of red worms in an 18 gallon bin for a few months and they seem to be doing fine. I have not seen any cacoons but know there must be some...
Hi Gail, The worm egg capsules are about the size of grape seeds, and they are oval round shaped and kind of shiny, they range in color to light green to dark...
You can't help it. They are tiny. You know those pins that hold shirts together in the package? the ones with just a dot of resin on the head so you can get...
Thanks for the great info Connie. I haven't really decided why I am raising the worms yet. I just like doing it and the castings are good for my plants. If...

Hi Elaine, Don't despair, its probably not your fault the worms died. They probably went through a lot of stress, before you purchased them. Have you talked to...
