GeraldtonWA Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 I've started a microworm culture using a starter culture and following the directions on this sites "article" section. Its been going a week or so and is thriving but there is not much material left. Do I add more cereal or yeast? Or start a new culture and discard the old culture? The article did not comment on this aspect. Thank you.
Zui Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 I would start a new container with new material and split the culture, add more cereal to the original and keep them fed. HTH :)
Mr_docfish Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 no need to add more yeast - you already have it in there... all you need is more cereal and keep it moist. Splitting up into two cultures, one week apart, will ensure you always have plenty of worms on hand.
Marianne Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 I just use flour and water, and sprinkle some yeast on top. It smells like I've been baking for a couple of days, then the odour disappears until the culture starts going off.
forever_and_a_day Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 i find oats the best. i don't take very good care of my MW culture at all... i just let it go off (the oatmeal doesn't smell) and revive it when i have fry...
shadoh Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 Personally, I find Farex the easiest and longer lasting over weetbix. I guess at the end of the day, it is down to personal choice. I'm sure that the worms themselves aren't that picky *lol*
