After the first full week and the difficulty keeping the bedding moist, and the decision to add a cover to retain moisture the following observations were made this week:
- Day 8 little changed
- Day 9 can see worms appear somewhat clustered under the potato
- Day 10 over half of the potato is gone
- Day 11 almost all potato is gone observation- side of bin opposite potato has no worms
- Day 12- dry bedding misted down, no visible remains of potato
- Day 13- worms are beginning to spread out through bedding again
- Day 14 November 27- bedding dumped, all 50 worms alive and accounted for. A quick look didn’t observe any cocoons
Worms fed more potato and Bin reset on day 14
Will go through bedding more thoroughly on day 21 for cocoons.
