Andrew, Sometimes I wonder how worms ever survived without...

Way to go Richard! You have the worms' favourite food right there. Unfortunately you will have to stand in the cold whenever you want to "play" with them, LOL.

As far as feed goes nothing better that I have found. We have 2 horses and so no lack of feed.No I have not had it tested yet. However I have read reports that it is very high. As far as weight goes with moderate moisture I would say around 90 to ...
