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 :)

What would you suggest using instead of a plastic tub?

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)
