Comments on: Four worm experiment – the saga continues http://www.driftlessramblings.com/2008/01/11/four-worm-experiment-the-saga-continues/ My interests vary widely so I'll be posting about a little bit of everything.

Throw tons of fresh grass in a silo and you get some pretty potent juice squeezing out in a couple days. I'm going to give the 4 worm experiment worm bins a little more time then I'll likely dig through them again to see how it's going. Allen I remember the smell as one of fresh silage.

(about worms getting drunk) I've wondered that myself on a number of occasions. You do need to be a wee bit careful with any starchy wastes since they can ferment quite easily, potentially causing issues. I can remember trying out 'Timbits' (little donuts, just in case you aren't familiar with the Tim Horton's donuts chain) as part of worm composting lab experiment in university. Well all that starch and sugar started fermenting in a hurry (and the bin smelled like a brewery). I swear those worms were drunk - they seemed pretty sluggish. :-) Anyway, good luck with your challenge! I've found at least one or two cocoons so far, but still no baby worms. B.
