    Good morning, Vee, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸
    My hair has been long since I was 30! I'm not sure about you with short hair. What does Joe think?
    I definitely buying a colony would be great.
    Have a great weekend

    Are these worms from midwest worms??? The bedding looks like theirs. Big fan of both of you :)

      No I got them from another farm way up north, they grew huge. A lot of farms use the same bedding. I work with Midwest worms often.

    Ok, I'm sold! I want the starter colony. However, i see that your chow is out of stock...and the pdf is no longer available. What do I need to do differently for the colony than for the adult worms? Can I just do the regular layer of paper then layer of food scraps? Can I do bucket layers or stick with a tub?

    • @TheGardenAndWormLady
      @TheGardenAndWormLady  7 місяців тому

      You treat the starter colony exactly like you would your other Worms. The difference is they travel in their own bedding mix with Peat Moss instead of 100% sterile environment.

    Hello! Thank you very much for the helpful information!
    I’m brand new to all of this. I see that you use bubble wrap to cover. I’m concerned that these won’t keep the worms in. Is it really sufficient?😅
    Other than convenience, what other advantages do shallow bins offer? I was thinking of using a storage bin prior to seeing this video.
    🙏😊

    • @TheGardenAndWormLady
      @TheGardenAndWormLady  5 місяців тому +1

      There’s no worries using the bubble wrap. It keeps the moisture in just don’t wrap the entire bin put it on the surface like I do. The shallow bins are more for breeding. This year I am creating a course and I will announce it when it is ready.

      You buy mosquito thugs on Amazon. They are rings that help you put them in water to control flying insects. I take a quarter of a ring and I put it in a gallon and I use that water to wet all my worm bins down. Keep the fruit fly, and any flying thing under control.
