Re: Microworm culture

[George & Melanie Caruso <caraway at erienet_net>]

I use the quick oatmeal. Mix a small amount of oatmeal with water to
form a runny paste then add a pinch of dry yeast. Add a bit of your
present culture to this and you should have a new culture going strong
in a couple of days. If the mixture gets too dry just add a little water
and stir it to keep it on the runny side.This culture usually lasts me
over a month before I have to start a new one.
Take Care,
George
