thanks, andrew! it's good to be here :)
i'd say i had about 10-20 worms to start out with. my bin is about 2' x 3' x 2'
i can't see the maggot picture, but i asked the guy i bought some worms from (today! i just blogged about it) and he believes...
Welcome to the group, Rickie. Overfeeding is something we've all done at some point. It's good you recognized that early. Roughly how big is your bin? Would you say your "handful" is a measuring cup full? 1/2 cup? I recently learned that 1/4 cup o...
i just started my first worm bin this month! my friend helped me make the bin out of some ikea bins and installed a spigot. my mom gave me a handful of her red wigglers.
i think i have overfed them, for now i have much more of other species in my...
Hi Melody! Congrats on starting in the worm "biz"... :-) I started my bin last December and have two bins going now... no idea how many worms are in there, but it's a LOT more than what I started with. I've only harvested one complete bin's worth ...
Hi, I just started my first bin yesterday, like you, with 1/2 pound of redworms. Just wondering what all I can feed them. I put in some leftover artichoke we had in the refrigerator, and they seem to like that. Also, I have read that food should b...
Hello! Nice to find a California group. I just started my first worm bin yesterday 9/16/09...I am interested in any tips!
I'd consider myself a newbie... only been worming for a year now and in all that time I've only filled a tray and a quarter of my little Wriggly Wranch.
Hey guys, currently I only have two plastic totes with probably 1000-1500 worms....I am looking to transfer over to my two bath tubs that i have ready, and am in the process of building a worm harvester with a 55 gal steel drum cut in half and som...
Are you a classroom teacher, alternative educator, homeschooler, or anyone else who works with both worms and kids? Let's share ideas!
Hi Stephen...there is a guy that lives by me that feeds only steer manure to his worms. My understanding is that the two kinds of manure are very similar.
i thought that it would be nice to have a group for pioneering with new tybes of worm farming or new types of worms that you cross bread or any new ideA that you have with worm composting
Good question. My business is vermicomposting, I compost at several sites to include my own, in volume over 100 yard per year. I started with 1/2 lb of redworms 4 years ago. I currently do not live in California, but I did at one time. Some of my ...
Sue, you need to make sure that the worms are staying moist enough.
I have used coffee grounds that have been cooled down. That will help jumpstart the worms. If you look on craigslist, you can often find people giving away manure of all kinds.
A group for people who use the Wriggly Wranch (and others stackable tray) worm bin to talk about / share experiences.
I figured there might be enough intricacies specific to the Wriggly Wranch (and every other model of worm bin) to warrant a group
