πŸͺ± Weekly Worm Farming Office Hours are Here!
πŸŽ‰ July Launch Month! All Office Hours are open to the community throughout the month of July. Beginning in August, Office Hours will become a Premium Membership benefit. Starting this Monday, July 6th, at 12:00 PM Central, I'll be hosting live Worm Farming Office Hours every week. These are live group calls with me (Cherene) where you can ask questions, troubleshoot your worm bins, and learn alongside other members. This is separate from our 24/7 Community Hangout, which is always available for members to chat with each other. Whether you're just getting started or you've been worm farming for years, you're welcome to join! Bring your questions, photos, or videos, or simply listen in and learn from everyone else's questions. Some topics we might cover: - Feeding - Moisture management - Bedding - Worm castings - Cocoons & breeding - Troubleshooting ...and whatever else comes up! I'm really excited to finally launch these, and I hope you'll join me Monday!

@Harry Caulkin central time zone. Is that what you’re asking? 😊
Um...?
What are these orange thingies? Some kind of egg? There haven't 'been worms on these - well a couple - but not enough to make all of these, so they aren't cocoons. Mites?
Um...?

They look like cocoons! πŸ˜‚ Do you have potting mix in the bedding? I know slow release fertilizer looks kind of like that too.

@Rick Redding i'm curious to see what they are!
Major Bin Reset
These are the 4 bins that I had put what turned out to be mostly dead worms on. After cleaning off the dead ones, the mess left behind - despite me trying to get it all - attracted swarms of fruit flies. So I sprayed with dunk water, then went through the bin SLOWLY and picked out the few surviving worms - about 60 out of over 2,000. Now I have them out in the sunshine for the day - 93⁰ later - and going to bake them to death. Talk about a super fast dry down! ;)

I really don't know!! I would go with rosy tipped worm but I'm not very familiar with that species! Great experiment to see where it goes!
What do I do?
I finally sifted my mini tower for castings!!!πŸ€— I accumulated quite a bit!!!πŸ™Œ Idk if the yellow dots are sand or cocoon. I wanna say the clear salt-looking bits are the sand.🫣 But i don't wanna feed my plants worm cocoons. As it is, I kept inspecting the castings, I kept finding whisps. Do I just put is back into the bin?🫠

Nice!! It’s hard to get every last cocoon and wisp, and you can do your best to do it but sometimes they just go live their best life on whatever plant you put them on πŸ˜‚ depends on how much time you want to spend on making sure they are taken out. If I’m about to get them dry enough (not bone dry, just not muddy) I sift to the 1/12 and they catch most of the cocoons. 1/8 catches a lot but the small ones fall through
