City Farmer's Worm Bins

[crock703]

Anyone know if there is an easy way to get red worms for free (or the cost of shipping)?

I have acarus, or mites, in my worm bin.

They don´t hurt the worms, I think, but they eat the food.

Do I have to get rid of them? How?

Thanks 4 your answers

i swear your meant to put the scraps and what not ontop of the bedding?

Actually, you should bury your scraps to prevent fruit flies.

Great thanks! As an apartment dweller I found my herb garden lacking in flavor, and came to the conclusion that it was because of using plain old potting soil.  Now to find some worms.
