Re: Grindal worms
I think you or Denny told us how to harvest the Grindal worms. Can you please tell me again. I have a culture and I know there are worms in there just forgot how to get my hands on the bounty! Thanks! Jack

Re: Grindal worms
I'd be interested. I've got to figure out a way to prevent the little flying insects from infesting it though. I may try a soil-less culture again. Denny
If it was easy, anyone could do it!

Re: Grindal worms
I use a piece of glass or plastic placed on top of the media and put the food on top of that, wetting it well. You can then just scrape them off the glass with your finger. Unfortunately white worms have not proven this easy to harvest.

Re: Grindal worms
Thank you so much. I tried last night with the piece of plastic but I did not wet it. I got a few worms but not many. At least I saw some of them for the first time. We will try try again! Jack ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

Re: Grindal worms
