Here's an odd situation.  Doxie has generously set me up with cultures and about every 2 weeks I start a new batch with a dose from a previous batch.  For containers, I've been using the betta cups that Amp was gracious enough to save/supply from his job.  The ODD thing is, while I have a immense population of worms..... they refuse to climb the walls of these containers!  I think they're sufficating themselves? Time to pick up some of those Glad Containers... Anyone using the betta containers for m/w's and experiencing the same thing?  Bill

Bill......is this with new cultures YOU start or just all the cultures you have in general? Are you stirring the culture every few days to add air???

Yea.. I'm stirring them about every day... I think I may have solved my own problem....I was plugging the hole with filter floss and may have packed the floss too tightly... Bill
