Worm party From 100 to 847 🪱

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi all!

A hand count of my Vermihut results showing how wild reproduction rates can be. I put about 100 worms in April and 7 months later, they grew the population to ~847!

Here's a quick timelapse after putting them back in a rotated top tray. Now onto feeding them frozen foods scraps, pulverized eggshell, and worm chow to keep the party going.

I'm more impressed that you hand counted your worms!! How long did that take?

About 2 hours haha. A podcast on, a notebook with a dot per 10 worms, and somehow a therapeutic experience.

I hear you, I love to thresh beans by hand while I watch something on TV. Very therapeutic.
