Re:parasites/supplier sent them help - 2007/11/04 07:50 Did you ever find a solution to you worm mortality problem. If the supplier responded with favorable help of if you were ignored please let us know who it was so we all don’t have the same problemYou only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn’t move and does, use the duct tape. WELLS,vermont jerry walker 2008

Re:parasites/supplier sent them help - 2007/11/04 23:29no supplier did not respond favorably said it was probably a gas bubble from any empty belly hahahahahah dont really want to trash the guy over the internet more than i already have read first post it will tell you who and you still dont get it e mail me at wormherder@starspath.com and i willl trash real good to you about other things as well...but suffice to say picking 2 hundred worms out of your beds twice a day is not real fun smell doesnt come off your hands easy nor out of your nose plus they die off in cups in my customers stores doesnt make for good business......

Re:parasites/supplier sent them help - 2007/12/26 20:07i lost a lot of worms never did find exactly the reason did as suggested changed bedding and feed only veggies it helped but still lost a lot. when i cupped them for stores they would last 3-4 days and then entire cup would just die ended up with a lot of compost for my pile and the neighbors were not to happy about the smell but they wont complain again when i bring in fresh manure for compost pile now.. smell was terrible out there even when i burried it the flies just seemed to uncover it and make it smell again. i tried the man paul coleman he was fair with his worms and treated me right on 50,000 and havent had a problem with his shipment that i got in early november (i think...) Has any one tried biodone in the carolinas ????
