Here’s how I do a trench feeding in my mortar bins. Start with very small feedings if you are just starting out, but this bin is pretty established. I use cardboard to soak up the frozen foods and then I bury the food.

Congratulations to @Kimberly Newton for guessing the exact number of cocoons!!! Your prize pack will be on the way Monday morning!!! Here's some pics of the prime locations in Big Ben where I've always found crazy amounts of cocoons(over 300 per handful). The folds in the pond liner create the perfect environment for breeding and cocoon deposition I guess, but theres always loads of em here. I raked back the top layer of castings to get to the good stuff. Also I repurposed @Cherene Packard cups and worm chow bag from my order she sent me(knew they'd come in handy). Get a bin ready @Kimberly Newton got all the big worms out but I did see some baby wisps and wouldn't be surprised if theres over 300 cocoons so you could end up with 500-1,000 worms in a couple months. I put some broken up pieces of squash/cantaloupe sprouts in the top of the cups for moisture and food for the babies to eat on their journey. I will pack them in a box with cardboard fluff and shredded cardboard that can be placed directly into your bin, and a couple other goodies for you and your worms. Hope you enjoy and thanks again for playing!!!
