Question by luvmy2twinkies*1cupcake: Tips on getting a worm farm/wormary going?
My almost six year old decided he wanted to start a worm farm so we searched for instructions via the internet. So far we have taken a plastic container and added potting soil and the dirt the worms came in (from the bait shop). We also added a bit of water, some ripe banana with the peel, and some human hair. What else will help these little creatures take off? At what temperature will they do best? I was debating on if they need to be inside or out because of the raccoons an moles that have been pesty in our yard. Thanks for any and all suggestions.
