whiteworm feeds

I find that my whiteworm culture do better when I feed them plain
yogurt. I've tried the bread soaked in milk or water routine and the
culture crash on me within a couple of weeks. They seem to be quite
healthy, fruitful, and stable on the yogurt.

Best substrate I've found for microworms is oatmeal--the slow cooking
kind--with a pinch of yeast sprinkled on the top, and additional dry
oatmeal added about once a week to soak up the liquid.  Cream of wheat
and cornmeal sour much faster for me, and the culture never seems to get
going with Gerber's cereals.

Just my 2 cents. YMMV.
