On starting my red worms - 2006/05/12 12:28 I promise this will be my last question for a while

I have these plastic containers that I have saved over the last couple of years that ice cream comes in these hold 1 1/2 gallons. If we drill some air holes in the tops would these be okay to start the worms in until there is enough then to add to a large bin. (Now these are worms I will dig myself from the manure piles.)

I think starting small until I can learn to guage how much manure to feed and not cause a heating problem, would be better before I start a big bin. I can really keep a closer eye on these and have the control to learn what I am doing. I know that in a small container like this I can add just small amounts of manure at a time, but this a learning process for me.

Any thoughts on this? We have a bunch of 5 gallon buckets, but they have no lids

I always wanted to be somebody; I guess I should have been more specific.
