Since I posted this a while back I have moved my worms out to the shed where natural light comes in and they now have a more natural light pattern...I don't notice them escaping any longer. Keeping them moist and well fed is the key to happy worms.…
I leave a light on above my worm boxes at night with the lid on. I keep the lid on so the bedding doesn't dry out and so the worms can crawl anywhere in the box to eat. If any of the worms decide to peek out from under the lid, they will sense the l…
I am a newbie but I have AN! I was told about their suicidal tendencies also.
I only got 1/4 pd and they are in an 18 qt bin. I have had them about a week without one trying to escape (yet) Now you are making me wonder...
Could it be that you have…
I like this idea...I think I am going to try this next time I get the chance. Seems like a good system. Thanks
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
I'm glad this group got started...because worming in the south is a whole different ball game...we have alot of issues with moisture and heat. Thanks!

Its dry!
Its so dry here in Florida that I have to run a hose to the worm bin every week or so to make sure there is enough moisture. We desperately need rain and no matter how good a fertilizer the castings are - the plants are sloooooow growing without a consistent moisture level. We should all do a rain dance!

I don't have a shed to put them in, but I do have some shade.

- Hi Tiffany,
Since you live in Florida, I have a question I'm hoping you can help with. (I live in Tampa.) I have a stackable tray system and keep it indoors. I've been wanting to start a bigger wooden bin outside, but I'm afraid the heat might make it a futile attempt. Do you have an outside bin? Do you think it's possible to keep an outside bin here?

- Thank you for your comment on my cooling system.
I noticed that you said that you were introduced to vermisytems by research. I am curious do you do research in soils, entymology or any related fields?.
