Container problem or something else? - 2008/05/08 07:31
We've been selling Efs to bait shops and convenience stores for a few years. We package 50 worms per container with peat moss that is fairly dry. We used to use a 12 oz. container, but lost our supplier. So we have switched to the blue bait containers. We are now putting them in an 8 oz. container. The problem is that now they are starting to die off after appox. a week and a half after getting to the bait shops. The ones we've sold as compost worms seem to be doing fine (from those we've heard from anyway). The only thing we've changed in feed, is that we have added silage. We get it from farmer that we, also, get cow manure from. The worms seem to love it.
We started using the 8 oz. container because we use those for our leaf worms and encs. We were trying to save a little money as the blue containers cost more than the ones we were getting  . We have ordered some 12 oz. containers to try, but I thought I would ask here to see what you guys thought. Any comments or questions would be greatly appreciated.
