Dear Ed et al.,
It's really hot here in Oklahoma and I eventually bought a wine cooler, in
which to keep my worms. After buying it I discovered if I put my whiteworm
containers on top of my freezer they were cool enough. I have a >10 year
old, cheap walmart freezer and the door insulation isn't so good anymore.
Grindals are doing well in the heat, 74 - 78 inside the house but I've had
to dump and replace 2/3 of the bedding as it seems to sour very fast.
A freezer lid is a lot cheaper than buying a wine cooler.
Earl;

Subject: [Killietalk] Beef heart
Hi all. The weather here in upstate New York has been terribly hot this
season. My worm cultures are doing terrible but still alive. I have no
air conditioning. Because I don't have much to offer the fish I have, I
bought some beef heart @ $69 / lb. and ground it up for them. None of
the
fish really seemed to like it. The majority of them just spit it out
after
a few tastes.
Right now all I have available is BBS, mosquito larvae, and fruit flies.
They don't even like the dried flake food. Any suggestions? Thanks. Ed
Brandt ( P.S. - If they don't like the beef heart I might as well feed it
to the stray cat in the area. I live in the middle of nothing in the
country with hard well water.) Join the AKA at
