Then squeeze the water out of the cardboard. Put it in your worm container, add some leaves, old ones from last fall if you can get them. Never use water that has Clorine on the worms if possible. Add some corn meal and keep them in the fridge if possible and your on your way.
Okay I need more clarification on this one please. Why the bottom only? Do you have a picture of this? Is the cardboard in egg cartons different than regular card board? I assume this might have something to do with the waxes they put on some cardboard. (I get the chlorine part from the water, so I assume rain water would be good to use.) So I've been making compost for our market garden, so I have a big pile of compost from leaves, grass clippings and vegetable waste, will this work in place of the leaves? If not I think I seen a big gob of leaves that didn't break down in part of the pile, I can get those... Maybe it was good I missed turning that spot. I'm looking forward to this new experiment, sounds like we'll be getting close to an inch of rain over the next few days, so might be a good time to catch some crawlers... Thanks for the ideas...
