I just ordered 500 from www.Arbico.com - out of Tucson - they were about $33 for 500, includes shipping. They sell them in lots of 500 or 1000.
I have mail ordered them before but need to do it soon before it gets too hot.
I did not start my farm. This is still something I am looking into. I too am looking for worms. If I locate something I will let you know.

I am looking for local worms. Do you have a list of local suppliers?
Thanks,
Kathy

Thanks for all your input, any help in t…

I have just built my garden bed (a raised, lasagna garden), and thought I was ready to plant. When I took a ph reading of the soil some parts were 10+, the lowest was about 9. I do want to get this garden planted as soon as possible, already running…

- hiya and thanks again for the eggs! One of my friends works at the Boulders and would like 2 or 3 dozen. She says she can come by and pick them up from you after work. Is that anything you're comfortable with? Let me know for future reference and I'll give her eggs for now.

- Hey Peggy,
I have a ton of egg cartons for you. When would you like to effect the transfer? :-D
How's the garden going?

- Hiya! Everyone loved the eggs. Will you be coming up this way soon? If so, I'd happily place trade egg cartons for eggs....
My garden is great. Still have a little lettuce left, and the tomatoes are setting on. My old peppers are covered with peppers. (If only I could remember what I planted!)
You should definitely consider the lasagne garden method. Of all my beds, the ones I coverted to that method are doing the best....
Hope to see you soon!

- Hiya Peggy,
I have a bunch of egg cartons for you, and, if you have more eggs to sell, I'm buying another dozen. I could also email all the others who bought last time and see if they're ready for more...
Hope all is well and your garden is thriving!

update:
Just found out my neighbor had an infestation in his garage and he now uses an "ultrasonic repellent noise machine" to keep them out so now they are hanging in my yard!
I am bringing the food and water at night and have no brush in my yard.…

I've done a lot of container water gardens but never with a wood barrel. I have talked with others who have and it can work, but leaking is an issue. I've seen plastic inserts made specifically for these 1/2 barrels but I would just use a piece of p…
