[DiscusMad]

On another forum there is alot of talk about DIY worm farms and they seem to be going great with little work anybody here that runs there own worm farms I have started my own worm farm to cut the cost of buying them.

Well for about 2 tea spoons worth of Blood worm @ $3.75 After 3 weeks they have increased by 3 times.
has been sugested to me to decrease the water level and I could see a better increase of worms.

what are you calling blood worm?

i thought they were a larval stage of a flying insect
i find them in the fountain at work, but would imagine it hard to culture if adult flying insects were involved, or at least in a smal space

Hey I just wanted to ask if putting toilet paper would work and what do you feed the worms... oh and also how deep is ur water atm?

Thanx

my water is about 3inc I think when you put any paper its going to make it harder to get your worms out of the soggy paper
