Its hard to tell but they should not be dry. Once ewc is dry it is very difficult to re-hydrate them.ColdSmoke said:Is there a way to tell how  fresh bagged casting are?
Sure is. They are amazing little creatures in that whatever goes into them goes through their gizzard and comes out higher in nutrients than when it went it.meinchoh said:Amazing how scientific worm poop can be, isn't it?Â

Can you post a link to a good tutorial, or video for building and maintaining a worm farm?Noah Yates said:By all means do use all 20lbs!!!   But im telling you man... you should start your own worm farm... they are soooo easy. And there is no better feeling than looking at beautiful healthy plants and knowing that you created their nutrients (that is with help from the worms ofc ) Start small and work your way up to a worm empire

I live in north Texas where summers are blisteringly hot. Can earthworms survive in an non air conditioned garage? Winter time here seems ideal for worms.Noah Yates said:By all means do use all 20lbs!!!   But im telling you man... you should start your own worm farm... they are soooo easy. And there is no better feeling than looking at beautiful healthy plants and knowing that you created their nutrients (that is with help from the worms ofc ) Start small and work your way up to a worm empire

I don't think composting worms like it much above 80 deg.winston61 said:I live in north Texas where summers are blisteringly hot. Can earthworms survive in an non air conditioned garage? Winter time here seems ideal for worms.
one pound and it's been going for over three months...they can't seem to get through the first tray. I checked it out and there are still small piece of vegetables and leaves in there...Check that...it's been just under two months.ÂNoah Yates said:Hey ColdSmoke. You will have castings much faster than that. How many pounds of worms did you start your farm with and how long has it been running?
Castings take a long time to get unless you have 10,000 worms and are feeding 10 lbs of food a week.ColdSmoke said:Â
I have the worm factory, but it's taking forever for them to eat everything in the first tray and move up. I think it will take 6 months before I get my first castings.
Yes you would have to bring the bin into the house or you will kill them.ColdSmoke said:I don't think composting worms like it much above 80 deg.
