Re: NFC: that old feeder thing...

You might want to check out:

http://vermitechnology.com/catalog.htm

or:

http://www.wormman.com/

for commercial sources of worms and growing materials.

There was a mostly-hobbyist site that was extremely full of good husbandry
details, but I don't seem to have the URL any more. Anyone recall the
somewhat irreverent and humourous site I'm remembering?
