Hi Everyone
This thread is to document what could be abit of a mistake on my part, so if anyone has any input I would more than welcome it.
I bought a grindle worms starter culture online, they are not doing so good at the moment.
I decided to go poking around the garden to see if I could find any small worms.
The first slab that I lifted I saw a few small white worms, ranging from 5mm up to 30mm in length
I took a sample of the soil and picked out all the worms that I could find with a tooth pick.
It is note worthy that inside this soil sample were the odd mite and other creatures.
I was sure to pick around these and quickly dispose of the soil.
I ended up with about 6 worms
5 of them I have put into a tub of coco coir (this may not be suitable, after about an hour in the tub with some fish flake they are looking pretty lifeless)
the last one is currently sat in a tub of aquarium water to see how long they survive under water
he has been in there close to an hour now and still going strong
I am going out now so I will update progress some time later
if anyone is interested this is an image of the little sacrifice
