Update, well, not precisely. Earth worms are all alive and that's positive. THe second generation has hatched a week ago and is already starting to look like a worm.
I put 2 separate colonies into 2 different enviroments (cause of my explorer nature
). The first enviroment is unprocessed compost (a pile 1x0,5x0,5m, which has been ripening and decaying for maybe 7 months).
The other colony was placed into fresh fresh organic material (apples, banana leaves, what we didn't eat at home...).
Both groups are fighting and literally making noise (which can be heard even if you are 1m away from the boxes) and I wonder which one will reproduce and at faster. What I now know for sure is that the food doesn't have to be decaying, they will even eat fresh and scraps from the kitchen...
Both piles weigh up to 10kg.
