<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I suggest a meeting, because none of
this is making sense.<br>
we are not using earth worms, so soil is not the right bedding to
use. red worms do not burrow into soil, they rest on the surface
of bio-organic waste and shredded carbon-filled paper, like
cardboard....<br>
what fabric? what roof?<br>
there is already experts who know how to do it, its all on the
web, so there is no need 'experiment'. the worms will die without
the proper conditions.<br>
is Rudi an expert in red worm composting? it does not sound like
it. <br>
best wishes<br>

<div>the fabric wouldmostly be there so teh soil doesnt fall
through the holes of the crate.</div>
<div>most of all rudi, our agricultural engineer adviser said,
there needs to be substance. he recommended to add about 1/3 of
soil to the crate, so the worms will be better protected. if
you dont have soil you can just buy flower soil, like for
potting. the units we have are just not really ideal since they
are quite small. it is an experiment...<br>
