From Mark
My worms seem to be thriving now. Have dozens of them in every handful of compost. How quickly will they reproduce? How long before my population outgrows my 20 gallon plastic container? They are in my garage and it is getting a little warm, so I put a frozen gallon of water in it every day to keep temp in high 60s. They seem to like it. I keep one jug in freezer and one in bin and rotate every day. I am ready to harvest my first batch of compost in a few weeks. Mark.
Great to hear. Excellent idea with the frozen water bottle.
Your worms should double in # in @ 90 days. You can start a new bin at any time. While harvesting castings is a good time to take inventory, see how they are doing, and start a new bin. You can get another 20 gallon container or multiple 5-10 gallon ones. Now the fun begins, watching your worms multiply and produce castings.
Thanks for the update.
