Re: Microworm culture

I have found that using quick oatmeal works well. use as much quick oats to a
depth of 1/2" in your container, add enough water to make it on the runny side
because as the oatmeal sits it will absorb more of the water and thicken.
I add a pinch of dry yeast and stir it together. You can always add a little
more water if needed. Add your starter to your mix and your set for a few
weeks. very little odor until the culture starts to age. Then just start
another.
Good Luck,
George
