Joey, here are some notes I kept. Sorry I didn't keep better references.
bentley: "Getting your cocoons to hatch shouldn’t be hard either. I would concentrate a bunch of cocoons in a small, opaque container with air holes. Before you add them, simp…
Thank you for the info Rom,
I'm only into my six month of worm farming and it is my first winter.My bins are inside but in does get down to to 50 at night in the room that they are in.I guess I will open the vents in there so that the room stays at…
The optimum temp for keeping worm bins alive (ballpark it to 65F or 20C) should be the optimum for hatching them. The cocoons need about 3 weeks to mature and then eventually hatch but can go dormant for much longer if conditions are not right. They…
I wonder a bit about that report. There isn't enough detail to know what was tested. If the purpose was to determine how much pesticide was present on the part of the fruit/veg that a person eats, the peel might not have been included in the test.
Hi everyone,
Is there a optimum temperature for eggs to hatch.It just seems that My babies have all stopped but there are a ton of eggs.
i do some times depending on how much paper i already have in there but as long is there is nothing on there that will hurt them like pesticides and the things you already stated.I say go for it.
Thank you,Lol I only have 2 lb of worms I got 1/2 lb from a friend 6 months ago ! removed all the worms 3 months ago and weighed them.I had 19 Oz's.Also we eat about 6 to 8 bananas a day here.We eat lots of other fruits, most of witch there's not mu…
Good luck, Joey. Just curious why such a high concentration? My family eats bananas regularly and I doubt the peels make up even 10% of our kitchen scraps.
I have a coffee section in my bin and it seems to get consumed less then pumpkin or watermelon.I wouldn't say my worms love the stuff but they do eat it.good luck with it tho
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
Thank you all for your replies.I do remember the member who lost all his worms and believe it was the banana peals.So I've been putting them in my compost rather then my worm bin.I have s many that I wish I could use them.
Here's what I'm going to…
Well, after a member here lost worms most likely due to banana peels, I started buying organic. They last longer than regular bananas, not sure why, but they don't rot as fast. A local teacher came over to see my worm bin and I told him I was now bu…
My sister looked up this list to help her decide which produce to buy "organic":
What Types of Produce Have the Highest and Lowest Levels of Pesticide Residues?
Looks like you'd have to worry more about pesticides on strawberries, spinach, cucumbe…
I use banana peels as I have them available. By the time they get to the worm bin, if they were ever sprayed, the pesticide used should be gone, like rom says, just a blind faith leap. I've never lost any worms that I know of from banana peels and I…
