They live in the controlled environment of my basement that ranges from 75 degrees in the summer to 40 in the winter.  I added 500 cocoons of enc from Emily the Crazy Worm Lady in 2019 may.  I have continued this population separately from the other systems to evaluate if they behave or process differently.   I see that the casting are larger, and they do seem to process bedding faster than red and blue worms. August of 2021 sees another 1-pound addition of European Night Crawlers from Northeast Worms. The ENC now have their own room.  2 halves of a 55 gallon food grade barrel is now the ENC worm bins.  1 bin is from the cocoon only bins and the other bin is the 1 pound from Northeast worms. They are sitting on industrial shelves propped up with bricks.
