Re: [Killietalk] white worm keeper

["Bill Shenefelt" <william_shenefelt at verizon.net>]

I soak a slice of "italiano" bread(appears to have some mold resistance) in
reconstituted powdered skim milk.  Takes a slice a day typically in the cold
weather but only a couple slices a week in the summer when the room is at
68.    The box is a styro from a fish store.  "Dirt" is Magic Worm Bedding
from the fishing dept at walmart.  Bout two boxes of bedding maybe 6 inches
deep.  Just grab the worms in clumps when they finish off the bread, they
sort of "replace" the slice typically.  I only grab maybe twice a week, but
usually a golfball size wad total.
