Wood Worm Farms

There are two polar opinions about those worms:

1. They seem to produce more castings and reproduce at a faster rate.

2. "Perionyx excavatus are undesirable to home composters and bait worm sellers. They will compost in warm outside conditions but take over worm beds and drive the E. foetida out. They never ever get big enough for bait. They migrate for no reason even during daylight or with bright lights over them. They will be all over the floor in school or home bins. They are very undesirable for tropical fish food. Cold temps kill them."

I think many factors are unaccounted there, and one of them is the bin structure and material. So I decided to test a wooden bin with P.E. (or vice versa?).

Hense I ordered a pound of Indian Blue worms (many thanks to 'Chickadee'
from thegardenforums.org) and started a new bin.
Let's see how will they do.
