I just bedded 4,000 little one's (4-5 inches) Sat and their eating about 8 pounds a day and beginning to mature. Mostly they eat shredded newspaper that I run through my Fellowes paper shredder. I've burned up a couple shredders but this one's going strong 3 years now. I haven't had time to surf this site yet so I don't want to say something that's been discussed already. Write anytime..Milt

This past week, I separated the top 5 inches of material, which should include most of the worms, and made 5 separate composters with that material. What I have left is some beautiful vermicompost just ready to be placed on my garden containers. You must have quite a large garden or farm to use your vermicompost?

Thank you very kindly for your compliment I believe from yesterday. I cannot access my original YucatanNeem@gmail.com account so I also for now cannot access my page. I just signed up using my newer EcoTechMexico@Gmail.com email and new membership so maybe I´ll see you around on this site from time to time. We have so many projects demanding our time that we work 7 days and I very rarely have time...or take it...to enjoy the several sites we have memberships with. One can learn a lot though and it´s also nice to exchange w/ nice people as well in English from tome to time because I am probably the only English within an hour or two of our project.

Best of luck and success to you and thanks again for your generous comment!

Thanks again,

Hope I do as well as you...your pictures are wonderful. And I am thinking I may have made a mistake. I stripped my newspapers rather than shredding with a shredder like I saw in your pictures. I also had order a bag of shredded cardboard with my worm order so maybe that will help offset the newspaper strips I used. Almost a week and they are still alive at least.

At 6:26pm on January 8, 2012, Tim Dobrynski said…: Thanks Joe. Appreciate the welcome. My worms have been in my bin for 48 hours, now. 2,000 ordered... only a handful survived the trip... a shame indeed. Survivors seem to be doing well and my fingers are crossed. Wish I had found his site before ordering from the internet... found a few locals offering 'native' worms. Live and Learn.

I would definitely contact the place you bought your worms from. If they don't offer to make things right, I would announce their place of business here on this site. (I hope it wasn't ole Uncle J) Next time, order your worms from www.redwormcomposting.com Bentley will do ya right! You'll get great, healthy worms and more than your money's worth!

German xhardy garlic is my specialty, I dehydrate it on teflex sheets into Garlic Crystals, ten times stronger than fresh garlic with no aftertaste. I also can up to 100 quarts of marinara for the year, with 14 herbs, veggies etc., no sugar or salt or black pepper. It is primarily for home use, but I have a few determined customers. What do you grow? Lucy

At 10:56pm on January 27, 2012, elizabeth jacobs said…: i just started composting and was wondering if you would be willing to share some red worms with me?

At 4:07pm on February 12, 2012, Matthew Wilson said…: Hey, sorry I just now saw your friend request. I added you, thanks for the request.

At 7:14pm on March 10, 2012, Hannah said…: Thank you for the welcome! I have a small garden for vegetables but also thinking about using containers for some this year.

At 11:12pm on March 11, 2012, Bonnie said…: Thank you for the welcome, Joseph. Indeed, that tub is an interesting piece. When they see the spigot they realize it's not just a toy box. Curiosity leads them down the rabbit hole and they wished they'd never asked. We love our pet wormies. haha
