Microworms in grindal worm box
I inadvertently introduced microworms in my grindal worm
boxes : ( I didn't think much of it initially, but now
microworms seem to be keeping my grindal worms from
multiplying fast.
I recultured grindal worms several times but each time
microworms come back strong after awhile and take over the
box. I carefully separate the grindal worms by rinsing them
in water a number of times but it takes only a few
microworms to start colonizing the soil. Once microworms
get going strong on the soil surface, grindal worms seem to
retreat toward the edge of soil in the box. When I spray
the drying soil surface with water, I can see microworms
wiggling all over the soil surface.
Would there be any way to get rid of microworms out of my
grindal worm box or do I have to get a new clean culture and
start over?
TIA,
Tomoko
