What is at the bottom of the plastic container? Earth?

@GrollerG Potting Soil. If you use dirt from outside you will get a lot of contaminants that will mess up your culture.

30 years ago I was the Detroit king of tubafex worms. Collected them in the poluted Rouge River, as it ran through Detroit, and them cleaned them out under running water for about a week. Sold about four quarts of solid worms, per week, to local pet shops. Same sort of thing. Half your commenters want to buy a starter culture. How did you get them started?

@rustytool100 A starter culture has to be obtained from someone. Usually by hand. They just do not ship. Get them up in the 70s and they die. High 60s and they just never really recover. Best places to find them? Try a killifish club. They are usually available at the American Killifish Association national conventions. Next year at St Louis. But go to AKA.org, affiliate clubs top center and find a club you can get to. I am in Georgia, got mine from someone in Michigan, met in Raleigh at weekend

I have never had any other stuff growing in the white worm containers. But small white bugs are bound to be tasty to the fish. They could be anything. The fish won't care, feed them all.

I use Arnold's Whole Wheat Bread, less than $3 at Walmart. The yogurt I make myself, less than 50 cents per 6oz container. One container last me a month if I wasn't eating one myself every day. Pretty cheap when I was buying 2 lbs of blackworms a month. You can certainly feed them dog food, cat food, fish food, all that stuff. But you will not get the production levels that I achieve. But that may provide enough worms for your needs. And no comment on the quality of most people's diet.

Wonderful video man, real good job. My only concern about trying my hand at this now is that I might end up raising too many!
