A mix of aged manure and shredded cardboard would likely be a pretty killer combo!

For the benefit of both you and Candin (and anyone else who wants to find out how it went), here is a link to the wrap-up post:

You will find links to all the posts in this series, including my final wrap-up of the experiment.

I am trying the ice cream bucket reproduction thing too. 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?

It has indeed been a little while since my last update. 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.

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. Looking forward to updates on this experiment!

I am overdue for another update (I also need to add links to all the other 4 worm posts in each of the posts written – if that makes any sense).

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

What have you discovered?
