I've added a couple fo small feedings of coffee grounds and mixed vegy & fruit scraps along with a small amount of corn meal. The worms are eating at a really unbelievable rate. They are really voracious eaters and don't seem to wait for the food to break down the way ef's do. They just climb in the food and munch away. I think the feedings have them settled down a bit and they don't seem as anxious to crawl. I just want to keep you posted . The bedding seems ok and the worms so far are doin… Continue

The Encs Are Here
01/17/2008. Today I received my shipment of european nightcawlers from a worm grower in missouri. I must say I didn't count or weigh or anything but I think I got a great deal. The worms are very fat and were quite active when I released them from the bag into the bin. A couple of weeks ago I prepared the bin for them using mostly corrugated cardboard and torn paper along with a couple of handfuls of peat and then a small amount of food consisting of some shredded carrot, coffee grounds, lettuce… Continue
