I just built a worm box, what are you guys using for bedding?
-
Not sure how big your box is. I've used Frabill worm bedding in the past with pretty good success. Don't really know what is in it. Looks a lot like ground up newspaper and dirt which is probably what it is. They just put dirt and old newspapers in plastic wrap and sell it to people like me :chuckle:
In all seriousness it did work at keeping them alive and growing
-
We always used shredded newspaper, potting soil and coffee grounds.
My dad was all about making sure the coffee grounds went into the worm box.
-
Horse manure. Free and it will compost quickly.

Yep :yeah: and a little horse pucky as well. It’s not too hot and composts well and stinks minimium.

Raised and sold nightcrawlers for years when I was a kid. Went out and picked up some good thick moss and used that. Sprinkled a little water on it occasionally and changed it out occasionally. Worked great.

I keep 400 0r so on hand in the spring and early summer. I just use a mixture of potting soil and dirt from my garden. It does need to be changed out every 3 weeks or so. You also need to feed them. They make a food for them that is sold at most sporting goods stores. dry crumpled up leaves work also. Do not use grass.

Thank you for all of the replies, I will be back in Washington this Wednesday, maybe this weekend I'll get it together and running
