Texas Jumpers 
Have my worm factory up and going..{.BIG AL’S WORM FACTORY.)..Purchased a Worm Factory set up. Have my European Night Crawlers still in the shoe box and the Styrofoam bin I made for i/2 of them…Also, have the Red Wigglers from you in the shoe box and in the Styrofoam bin I made for i/2 of them….Purchased another 2 pounds of RED WIGGLERS and have them in “The Worm Factory”…..So, waiting,feeding,keeping moist newspaper in bin,in the dark office with air condition in my office. Feeding table scraps and some oatmeal,corn meal and grits mixed together. Adding about 1 dried egg shell per week to bin with coffee grounds and scraps!
Can one raise worms in plastic garbage cans? I have five that I use to compost leaves and kitchen scraps. I would like to have some worms that will take me fishing often.
p.s. I have discovered that I live in the same “hood” as you!
Garbage cans will work just fine. I would be happy to help you get set up.
I’m wanting to start a worm farm, but don’t know what to do after buying the kit and keeping it going for a bit. What do I need to expand the farm, materials, storage, etc.?
Lyle,
Check out my Care of Worms page. Let me know if this doesn’t answer your questions.
Kyle….Now have four bins of Texas Red Worms working around the clock producing wonderful, rich, black gold for my garden.
Also, have one WORM FACTORY unit with Red Worms making nutrient rich compost for the garden. Interested in perhaps some of the TEXAS JUMPERS to put in one of my garden raised bed areas. Hope to see you soon! Alan

P/S i also have African crawlers that are doing well
Chuck,
If your African’s are doing well, and you are having trouble with the red worms it could be that the temp is too hot. The other things to consider that could cause problems are the pH and moisture 70% or above. Red worms will get stressed at temps that African Nightcrawlers like. When temps get to 90F it’s time to cool them down. Ice bottles, controlled environment, increased moisture with some air flow. There could be other issues but if your African’s are doing well in the same type environment temp. is probably the culprit.
Thanks,
Kyle
My neighbor can come to your worm seminars on weekends only… I am so sad we missed the seminar 3/29. Do you have anything else planned?
Thank you for your shared info and passion for worming.
Debbie
Thanks Debbie, I don’t have anything on the schedule as of yet. But stay tuned…

I just became interested in raising worms. I’m happy to see that there’s a place near San Antonio I can go for help. I’m extremely interested in the jumpers I don’t care what state they are named for. I am also sad that I missed your last Garden fast. When do you plan to have your next one? I would love to go to all your demonstrations.
Don’t have anything on the schedule until early next year at Rainbow Gardens. Will post when date and time are set. As far as the Jumpers, it has become my favorite worm due to its consistent performance, flexibility, and ability to handle climate and soil conditions that are too hard for other worms.
I’m also interested in this. PLEASE keep us posted.
Lyle

If you are ever in Cypress Texas! Our preschool would love to have a presentation! Alianza Eco International School – Phone: (281) 643-7800 Talk with Mariana!

Nothing scheduled as of yet.
