A mix of aged manure and shredded cardboard would likely be a pretty killer combo! 8) Hi Creepycrawler – in my experience, cardboard and other paper products seem to stimulate worm reproduction.

You will find links to all the posts in this series, including my final wrap-up of the experiment. 8) LoL – I guess you haven’t checked out the “Hot Topics” page, Candin.

I have two buckets. one with 1/2 old potting soil and 1/2 with pulverized garbage and 30 juvenile worms and started december 10, 2008. the other is 1/2 with dirt and 1/2 with pulverized garbage and 25 mature worms and started Feb. 2009. I'll being looking to see the results. supposedly this method will produce 1000 worms into one million in a year. What kind of results did you get? hay vermiman,

I'm actually going to be ending the experiment fairly soon so I can put the stacking system to good use with a normal population of red worms. Before doing so, I will attempt to count all the worms/cocoons currently in the system to see how well the reproduction experiment ended up going. B Hi Alex,

I just stumbled on your blog today and it's quite intersting :) I'm hoping to order my red worms sometime later this week or beginning of next week. I think I'm going to use the Oscr Jr. bin.

In a nutshell, I have lots and lots of juvenile worms now. Just waiting for them to grow up so the system will start working a little faster! Anyway, I'll try to get a proper update up soon B Hi Michael,
