im just get some of them....
and it should be easy the take care of them....
but is quite hard for me, and im dont know why....
in one hand, the salvia is overwatered (im water twice a week)
in the second hand, in the same spot, the red worms container is totally dry (im water everyday.)
what going wrong>

Sure mate, i will take licture tomrrow,
They just move today to a new pot,
-
I have a tub also. Mine is in the shade. So about 70s F and the container is too wet most of the time.
-
the on a plastic tube... the "master' of the redworms here told me put them only in plastic or something like this...
i feed all organic things that i have, also newspaper and carton...
without: meat, spice food or citrus
im sorry but i forget take a picture as i told you. im hope to remember tomorrow
also im not such a professional grower... im just start and learn. and one of my conclusion is they dosnt like my last container (im think it was too small for them)
Peace :)

Does anyone have a solid source on where to get some red worms? And since I am in central Florida I would also like to know what kind of worm is better for this climate?

Probably someone near where you live grows them to supply fishing bait. :)
I had to locate a pound of red worms to stock my worm farm when I first got it.

I found a bait supply farm just outside the city limits. There are also online sources and if you only want a few of them, obtain some red wriggler fishing bait.
I live zone 8b and red worms (Eisenia fetida) do fine here.

That is good to know I believe we are in 9b I heard of some tropical species that are aggressive eaters and do well in warm moist environments. I don't remember the name of these worms off hand but red wriggled seem to be a solid choice. Thanks for the pointer I'll look into it. Thanks

I dont have a tradional 'worm farm' but several worm towers
Their a great dirt cheap device for the garden, My soil is mostly sand and where ever the towers are I can see a difference in growth and soil comp.
Ever see the rub 2 sticks together trick to bring worms to the surface ?
-- Pound a 24" stick 2-4" into the ground, and rub the stick with another stick for 2-3 min. and up they will come (as long as their their)
