Re: [Killietalk] Magic Worm Bedding

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

The bedding is quite dry in the box and therefore 3 pounds for a box of it.
That is enough to start up an18 by 18 by 4" deep commercial  fishbox styro
for a nice worm culture.   Trry http://www.magicproducts.com/bedding.htm and
order from
sales at magicproducts_com
phone 715-824-3100

They are in Amherst Jct. Wis 54407
May be cheaper from them than walmart?

The stuff is very good.
