Dumped my worm culture on the garden

I contacted Dan and Jennifer at CBW's.  It was a mechanical problem with the Fed Ex plane.  They offered to reship but I told them to let me check the worms when they arrive.  If  the worms were kept in an air conditioned room and they arrive at my shop early, they might be OK.  This happened once before and they were OK. 

Somebody tell me how long it takes the microworms to start climbing up the sides of their containers.  So far no crawling up :(

When I start new ones I pour a little water in the old one so lots of worms go in the new one. They start going up the sides only after they cover the whole top of the new culture.

The original cultures should have settled by now.

Do you have lids on your containers??......

Yes but I poked air holes in the lids.

...cool, ours stay covered and it helps a lot......

I'll shoot you an email if I don't see worms crawling up the sides by after work tomorrow.

Dan insisted that I dump my day late worms so I did.  He'll send more which should be in tomorrow and can stay in my new fridge until I can get them home and work them.

My Captain, I'm sending you an email.  Still no worms crawling up the sides of the containers :(
