Fast worm growh before selling 2 Years, 11 Months ago Karma: 0  
I would like to thank everybody on this board for the information. There is a lot of good information, Thanks Members and Moderators.
When I was just looking around this board I read a thread that talked about feeding the worms something special to give the a boost in growth before selling them. I have tried a search but couldn't find it. My son has been raising worms for about 4 months now and has had several people interested in buying them. He would like to feed them to make them bigger but I can't find that thread. He has ENC.

Hi Phil; I would say that to give worms plenty of space and food and keep them at the low end of the comfort zone for them. 58_62 deg F for the ENCs(Eisenia hortenses).

Put the worms that you intend to sell in new bedding at around 4in. deep and feed straight mash. This is the only thing that I can recall reading. This is also the way I do it.
Just be sure to not mix the mash in with the bedding or you could overheat it and kill your woms.
