Hi Bruce. Just a simple thank you for your work. We are starting a worm farm this week. We have done quite a bit of research, but still have a lot to learn. I appreciate your effort and shared knowledge. I, like you, have a business and find it exhausting when someone things “I have too much time on my hands”. Peace.

When composting worms using food scraps I cannot stress enough everything in moderation. I got a kick this past year how the US government listed pizza as a vegetable since it had tomato sauce. In reality tomatoes are a fruit not a vegetable.

Yes tomatoes are high in citric acid the same as Oranges and Lemons… Again they can be OK to use but in moderation.

Actually if you do things correctly, meany raise certain worms in the correct environment you do not need an incubator. In fact this is actually a scam that some websites promote.

Bill what Gramps means is to put the egg shells through a Fine screen (sieve) and Microwaving is sometimes called Nuking.

Found this out by accident. Got a bunch of raw egg shells. I washed them out in warm water and then decided to dry them in the microwave. Put them on a paper towel and cooked them on high for about 3 minutes. I could then reach in and pull that little membrane that is in one end right out.

The real surprise came when I ground them and dumped them through the sive to help get rid of the membrane, there wasn’t any. So today I had another bunch so I tried it again with the same results. Tried it on some that had been hardboiled. After grinding I had very little of the membrane in the sive, just a few small pieces.

So now I nuke all my shells

Interesting that is how I got into raising Europeans and Africans as from reading it seemed almost impossible to raise Candaians. Yet I have some in a small styrofoam container theat were bought at Walmart in the middle of Dec. Left over from a fishing trip. I feed them a little of the food I feed the others and mist a little water in the box once in a while. They are in the garage which isn’t heated. These have lasted much longer than the ones I have kept in the frig. To me it seems that the frig dehydrates them as they begin to schrivle up after a few days.

Thanks for the research.
