I hope so
because if they are white worms, its gonna be hard to keep the culture going
but they surely reach a max size of 1cm |

Yes....
I lost my culture 8 days ago
When I went forward to increase the size of my grindal worm culture, I took some cowdung manure, organic manure and a liitle bit of soil from my garden to bring it to right consistency.
I used all my old culture hoping to see the worms flourish quickly
But not even a single worm survived the next day
I totally forgot that my garden is often treated with termite control pesticides
I lost my lovely friends all because of my ignorance and carelessness |

Don't feel bad pal. There are so many small things involved in a project like this. One or the other tends to go wrong. At least next time u know one thing that u are NOT going to do!
It isn't easy doing things on your own anway. look at most hobbyists, they just buy everything, very few try DIY stuff, and even fewer succeed. The one that do inspire others, and there is always a way of doing better next time.  |

Peat works best as a medium for most cultures. Try getting some..
Feeling sorry for your Grindal culture. |
