Valuable info I'll be watching tonight for sure.
Am I right in thinking... Once the population is stable, I can split them in half and make 2 bins?

Yes, mate.
Also, check the vermicompost for any eggs.

Never give advice. Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.

I keep mine in an air-tight container. If it's not air-tight then it will dry out over time. Do check from time to time as you'll find young worms in there as they've since hatched.KD wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 9:32 amYeaahhh sick!
