What i meant is I have Rread that feedinf worms Rabbit food and Chicken Mash that they will double in size and reproduce more. What about worm tea is it any good straight from the bin? How about feeding worms dryer lint? These are some of the things I am going to try in the futre and see what happens. Hi,

On April 15th I started an experiment, feeding a dozen Red Worms just rabbit food. The asumtion is that they will grow twice as big and reproduce faster. In the next couple of months I will Try different approaches and keep you informed. After reading this column many times I finally realized there is a lot people dont know about worms.

After 5 weeks I noticed a lot of cocoons in my bin. What I did next was using a 1/8 screen, I sifted the whole bin. The stuff that falls out is not 100% castings but vermicompost AND cocoons. I took the screenings and started my EXTREME bin along with another 3 pounds of purchased worms. The vermicompost and cocoons I used to start a new small bin. Michael,
