I am finding it hard to figure out how much to feed them - they don't seem to eat as much as I've read in my booklet or online. I think most of ours are still alive.....I'll have to do an investigation.<BR/><BR/>Where do you live? I know that here you can get a pound of worms for about $30.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519799778366176741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310300.post-37996525665382980822008-08-13T17:45:00.000-07:002008-08-13T17:45:00.000-07:00I have had the same system as the one you have, fo...I have had the same system as the one you have, for about a month now. It's true, it doesn't smell, at least if you don;t put too much food in there. But it looks like I only have about a dozen worms left. Yikes! I can't imagine what has happened. I followed the instructions to the letter.<BR/>And no.. they don't crawl out :-) If they come up to the surface it may mean that you have too much wet mater and it's getting too hot in there for them, so take the lid off , until it cools off, and add some dry matter (shredded paper)<BR/>Now I have to go and find who sells the worms for the last amount of $. I am finding them online for $75 a pound... again... Yikes! Any ideas here?<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Astrid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310300.post-44739355009120615842008-06-24T20:59:00.000-07:002008-06-24T20:59:00.000-07:00lien - i'm pretty sure they won't come out.....if ...lien - i'm pretty sure they won't come out.....if they do, you'll probably hear me yelling!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519799778366176741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310300.post-29004375831554254962008-06-24T03:48:00.000-07:002008-06-24T03:48:00.000-07:00What an interesting factory.

Very rewarding to recycle like that, good job.<BR/>We have a large 'bin'-thing outside, we throw everything in, also all the things you mentioned we probably shouldn't. Packed with worms, never heard them complaining!
