 Have you dealt with Unco Industries? - 2007/03/24 15:23 I'm considering buying earthworms from Unco Industries and raising them commercially. Have you had any experience with them? Can you recommend them or caution me about dealing with them? Any input will be appreciated. Thanks, John.

 Re:Have you dealt with Unco Industries? - 2007/03/24 17:21 Have you ever grown worms?
I would recommend you do a lot of research, like what you have done here. Ask lots of questions.
If you have never grown worms, I would advise you to start with a pound or two and determine what to do next when that bin is running successfully.
Whenever there is money involved there are always people who will be happy to rid you of yours. Susan Quinby-Honer

 Re:Have you dealt with Unco Industries? - 2007/03/24 22:39 They have a well thought out and expensive! system but once you have the experience and know how to raise them you don't need their system so why not just get some worms and start raising them on your own. You can start and fail a lot of times and still not spend the amount of money they want up front for the first try! You can start a pretty big operation for only $150.00 worth of worms and a bunch of old refridgerators and freezers. Everything is basicly free except for the worms and most of them are free after the initial 10 lbs. If you treat 10 lbs. of worms right you will be amazed at their production. If you don't treat them right you will be amazed how fast they die! With your own worms you lost a hundred and fifty dollars with unco's you have lost thousands. It was an easy decision for me. You just need a source for some of these free items, cardboard, newspapers, cottonseed mote, horse manure, or rabbit poop. I think you could actually raise them sucessfully on just cardboard.

Do they wear suits to supper, listen to classical music and go to art shows? Y'all have fun, whatever you're doing.

 Re:Have you dealt with Unco Industries? - 2007/03/28 10:34 I called them bout 4 years ago. I was skeptical. I just figured it was a lot of money for worms . When he thought i was not gonna purchase. He was like well i gotta go. i think its a pure money grab.

get started on your own. With in a few months you will know if you like it or not.
