    I like things simple so when I got a culture I started like the guy on U tube but they would not multiply very fast, found out that using well watered oatmeal they multiply like wildfire and I keep them in a wall unit no fridge. I use 3 large plastic containers (with miracle grow potting soil, oatmeal and small holes in the cover for air) from the dollar store. To get a culture see if you have an aquarium club in your area there will most likely be someone there that has a culture to give or sell you.

    I have had a white worm culture for about a year. I got a wine cooler back in December and I have been trying to get the right combination of temp, water, food, collection method. I have found that 55 works better than 60 in terms of growth rate and bread is more consistent than oatmeal. Lately I've been riddled with copious amounts of micro size worms. I assume that these are babies and not another variety. Anyways I am having a tough time harvesting mature worms without getting a bunch of tiny worms. I have tried glass plates, screen.. Wiping my fingers around the edges gets a few but not the amount I want and consistent quantities. I currently have 6 cultures going and have split them twice to keep them in check. Suggestions??

    I thought I posted here earlier..... Anyway... Can't see it.

    Here is a picture of one of 6 cultures. I seem to have tons of baby worms and trouble harvesting the adults.

    I have tried to lay glass over the worms, screen over the food, wiping the sides. I have no trouble when the population explodes but if I just pick up a clump I gets tons of tiny tiny ones and not the mature worms
