I've had this one bookmarked for quite some time .... good site, I just can't afford their starter kits ;)


And here's one for worms http://www.happydranch.com/ :mrgreen:

I've given up on redworms/red wigglers/ composting worms ...... both my worm bins went TU this summer ..... the compost turned to paste, regardless of the fact that I didn't even add any water, when I dumped both bins on the compost pile for the Fall, I had about a dozen worms between the two bins ...... what a waste of time and money ..... I should have had at least the 1500 worms I bought, but ended up with none! I'm thinkin' our summers are too hot for them ........ I'll probably try Mealworms next year, I still haven't found a place to buy live Tubifex Worms, they used to be my fave for feeding to fish, but that was 30-odd years ago ...... now they are out of fashion, I guess - all I can buy is dried ones, which are almost worthless :( :(.

If you guys need some worm starters, send me a PM. I need to scale back for the winter. I'll send you as much as I can cram into a flat rate box for the cost of postage. These would be redworms in worm dirt, castings and eggs.

Large flat rate boxes are 12X12X6 and cost $14
That is plenty to seed a worm bin.

My paypal account is the same as what I list on my e-mail address here. jack @ badflash dot com (e-mail munged to stop robots)

Be sure you either have a verified paypal address, or include your shipping address.

I was thinking of putting a link to their site under "Suppliers" in the FAQ, so I emailed them for their OK .....
I just got a couple of emails back from these folks, here's one of those that will tell you their status ATM :( :(

NOTE TO ALL: Their website contains a lot of valuable information, don't hesitate to visit it and get a real good education in the process.


We stopped selling cultures and supplies several years ago and leave the site for kicks. The business got to be a burden when I went to West Yellowstone for the first time in several years and took my cultures with me in the truck and shipped from there. That was like writing on the wall. But you can get a lot of material from Aquabid.com folks.
Take care,

It's really early here but maybe it's just because I'm a little "SLOW" however his statement about "writing on the wall"..... I didn't understand that at all or what he was even trying to say...maybe it's just early :mrgreen:

Yeah, they're out of business, they just leave the website up for the info it contains ..... good folks!!

Perhaps he felt the business was heading in a dead end direction for him, with having to sell from his truck, i.e. he could see the writing on the wall.
