Lol not sure if you were serious or not (I'm not too good with written sarcasm) if you were serious you have to buy this type of worm food that when eaten turns the worms a fluorescent green. It's actually pretty cool haha.

Progress Of The Worm Farm And Clean Up Report

My farm had been soaked for weeks because of heavy rain that had fallen onto the farm while I was at school so the worms were getting irritated, the bin was very heavy and it was starting to smell bad.

I decided I would redo my entire farm and tell you about it as well as some progress pics.

I started my sifting through the soil to get all of the worms out and get rid of the old dirt. I drilled some more holes into the bin as the small amount wasn't draining well.




I added some new shredded paper bedding about 1 and a half inches thick.



I also made a nice mess for me to clean up


Once all of that was done I added the fresh soil....It looked beautiful, literally .


Here's a picture of all of my worms. Some baby's are there too! About 45 worms.


I then mixed some carrots into the soil and got the worms back home they seemed to like it a lot better than the old one.


Everything was good except for one thing very young worms (white stage) and eggs were destroyed and lost in the renovation because they were too small to see.

All in all it was a great clean up and I got to see how my worms were doing. (they were very moist and juicy) <------That's what she said

Thanks,

I guess that worm food is a secret formula. I remember seeing the green worm featured on tv show a few years back. It was pretty cool.

Nice photos of your project!

The formula actually isn't a secret in a sense. They allow you to buy it online from many different retailers and if you dig deep enough you can probably find the recipe yourself .

Thanks for the update Nick!

I'm sure glow-in-the-dark worms exist. I'm also sure they would be KILLER fish bait.

I did a google search:

And:

BUT turning them green is different from glow-in-the-dark. Glowing worms would be most effective. You can buy glowing powder, but I think it's toxic. If it were somehow stabilized and fed to the worms, it still wouldn't make them glow because it wouldn't get incorporated into their skin.

More searching to do...

Heck they have glowing bunnies and rats... why can't "they" make glowing worms . I'm sure it's possible.

Hmmm. Not sure. I think it's through eating but I'm no professional .
