Worm Diaries: Tiny Brown Dot-problem, Under Control!

oktober 15th, 2011

YEAH! The bastards are (almost) gone. They're spider mites or some such. They thrive in moist Wormcities. So I added some dry newspaper and cardboard, the condensation in the lid stopped and tiny brown dot populations effectively shrunk (though not completely abated). Now, I have a great deal of trouble with timing the whole feeding thing. The need food 2 to 3 times a week now, because the last time I gave them only on portion a week, they ate all the newspaper. The levels of compost have significantly risen, as well as the fluid in the sump. Remember the therefore intended brick? It now serves its purpose with regards to swimming worms. As always, here are the visuals. More and more people are pointing out that it is gross, worms and food together. But they're all part of one very big ecosystem, so deal with it. Also, I find that they have a strange, slick, shimmery charm. When they do not disgust me to the core. Yucky tiny worms.
