Test bin 1 harvest (75 worms in 6months) next week

Hi all,

Well, finally it's been 6 months since I started my first experimental 10 gall tote, and I'm going to do a "harvest" and head count to see just what my 75 pilgrims have become.

My estimate say it should be just over 1000 adults, plus 1000's of cocoons. Well, I'm not counting cocoons, but hope to count at least the adults. There does seem to be a lot in there.

I last fed this bin blended scraps last week, so I'll let them fast for the rest of this week to make life a bit easier during the sort.

I also intend to weigh the total, just to see how they compare to others (weight to number). Will I see any monster 1 gram EF's? I hope so! lol!

Maybe I can turn some of them into fish.

I'll try to do some pics as I go.

Think I'll use the "Bently turbo method", as this is only one small bin.

Here's a link to the earlier photos / post.

Till next week, happy worming!
