I ordered some euro night crawlers a couple months ago, and they seem to be doing fine. After much research on bedding I decided to us the ''Black Kow'' manure from Walmart and nothing else with it. The worms seem to be alright with it, but it gets very compact, and I worry about it being to compact for the worms. I think I may be over watering the bed. Everything I've read about preparing the bedding say's to be able to squeeze a handful and only a few drops of water should come out. Now to squeeze a handful on manure and get a few drops of water, the mature is like wet mud, it's to wet. Have any of yall had to deal with this using mature? I know a lot of the guys use peat moss but I've read some bad things about using peat, like you should rinse it real good, and change it like every 15 days.... My worms are still alive, so maybe I'm over concerned with it. Any help in this would be appreciated....
