Captain Mat, thank you for sharing and teaching us, the younger worm generation. I have been watching, learning and practicing your methods over the last few months and my worm population is thriving!!!! I've just built my 1st bulk bin, my breeder buckets are prepped and I'm very excited. I still have a way to go but I'm super excited and without your channel I probably would not have had such good progress or enthusiasm. So, all the way from South Africa, thank you sir!! 🇿🇦 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

And in doing that I have found myself in the a whole bunch. Mr Father pasted in 2019, found memories of fishing and baiting that hook. The best part was walking into the bait store and going over the fridge and getting that little coverd cubs of worms, and the the candy ile, and the soda ile.
