Question, do you know what the worms look like when reproducing? I checked on them today and a few of them looked like they were melded together, I was hoping this was them reproducing. I am hoping for my first cocoon within a week or 2

I fully plan in adding more bins if I begin to have success, start small and grow. Just like the worms haha. When it comes to feeding I have seen people burry food and just leaving it on top, So far I have just left in top, covered with a damp news paper.

The worms seem healthy and have had no jail breaks despite daily movement of the bin and checking them. I keep them in my basement in a storage room it’s cool and dark, hopefully by next year I have a nice system going. I am not expecting anything to take off quickly but am anxious to see that first cocoon!

I appreciate your reply and to feel like I have some comradeship in the worm world.

Love the enthusiasm, Josh!
Euros are definitely a different can of worms (haha) but they are great as well. Just tend to be a little more temperamental (don’t like vibrations etc). They are just about “perfect” as a bait worm though so I think you chose well.
My recommendation would be to get at least a few bins going so you can take worms on a rotating cycle. Hard to say for sure how many you will need (depends on how often you go and how many worms you use per trip) but this will at least be a good start!

I just started my first worm bin, I thought I was buying red wigglers but wound up with the ENC after reading about them I decided to stick with them and see what happens, I started with 60 worms, it hasn’t even been a week yet but I am excited to see what happens. I’ve stumbled across a few of your blogs and can’t get enough.

Any tips for someone just starting out? My end goal is to have enough works for fishing bait and never run out.
