Hello everyone. My name is Tony, and I'm making a first attempt at worm farming.

I read up a bit, and started my bed in a rubbermaid bin, using peat moss 50/50 with dirt from my front garden, a handful of eggshells, and topped with soaked newspaper run through the paper shredder.

My first 2lb batch of European Nightcrawler worms was sent during a heat wave. They were all dead/dying, and destroyed my bedding, too!

So I started over, and now the worms are doing great after one week. I had some bait worms from the bait shop, and I threw them in there, and they are doing great, too.

After a couple of days, I put some chicken food in (recommended by seller) and they chomped it down really fast. I've been reading here, and have many questions about ENC's.

Any advice for a first-timer ?
