What about the "skin" on the inside of the eggshell? At first I was peeling that off because it made it easier to crush the shells. But one time I was lazy...
OR, you could just buy a plastic tote from Walmart ($5), drill a bunch of 1/8-inch holes in the side (for air) and a larger hole in the bottom (for drainage)....
Unless, of course, you are interested in harvesting the castings. I'm sure these high-tech bins make it much easier to harvest castings. But, then again,...
... I think you're off by quite a bit. The $200 bin has 128 sq ft of surface space, which should produce over 3 cubic feet of castings per day. At $9 a cubic...
I just bought a pound of worms. I placed in the worm bin shreded news paper about 2 inches fluffed up, and then the worms with some of the castings that came...
Drew, This happens often enough. Seems a pretty safe bet that it isn't inhospitable bin conditions, sometimes they do it when the weather turns, and then like...
Your worms are probably very hungry. They can't eat anything until it is rotted - including newspaper. Two pieces of bread is not enough food. They won't be...
Drew on 8/7/05 said ... Well, they need some food. Try throwing some watermelon in there; they seem to really love that and will grab it before it rots even. ...
All things being equal - they're probably looking for food. The stay where the food is, and if there ain't any, they go hunting for it. Fresh newspaper bedding...
I have looked in the bin and I don't think I have any worms left??? I think they all left home. Is this possible? and where do you think I should get a new...
Hello. As this is my first post I'll introduce myself. I'm Adam, or Scurvy, or Hey You if you can point it in my direction, I'm not too formal. The older I...
I have a couple worm bins. I started one in June with only a little over a hundred worms that I got at the bait shop down by the lake, and then I saw that...
Hi all, This is my first posting on this forum. My name is Simon. I am from Kuching, Malaysia. I am having trouble importing the red worm from other country....
ID yes but it's complicated. 2. If it is PE, they work fine, if they do apparently tend to be a bit temperamental. But if they are the native worm, they may...
I've never seen them myself, but from what I've read the distinctive blue sheen to them is supposed to be pretty distinctive. Yes, they can be used for...
Hi all, I'm raising goats in the Philippines and I gather a lot of goat manure. I was wondering if I could raise some worms to convert my goat manure into a ...
Goat, sheep, horse, cow--it all makes great worm chow! Try the wormturns group, the Worm Digest site, or the wormturns site to help contact vermiculturists in...
Sorry this took so long to reply to. I'm starting out small at the moment to see how well the worms survive here (so far, so good). I have access to 200 lbs...
Safeway chucks a quarter ton of veggies a DAY?? OMG!! Here, they don't let ANYONE have the dead stuff--too afraid you might eat it. *snort* Like I'm...
Hi PA, Ben asked this on the 'Worm_Growers' yahoo group, which isn't that active...so I told him to come here and ask. I figured some of you deal with and have...
Yea, I hit the 2 local grocery stores here in this hick town about getting their throw away produce, and boy did I get a BIG 'No'...geesh. I do have a...
Well, when in doubt, compost...but if you have a windrow type situation and keep it well dampened, the worms themselves will just move on into new material as...
That is a shame. I get produce waste from our local Safeway stores whenever I ask. They are very happy to give it away. That means they don't have to pay to...
