The Easy Way to Raise Mealworms.

Great article @notabitail !

Very well written, clever, funny, and organized.
Thank you!

This is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I've been looking for a way to grow worms for my ladies for years but most peeps make it too difficult- like you need your doctorate degree or your name needs to be MacGyver. Thanks

Very informative! Great use of photos

Such a well written article. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I especially enjoyed the step-by-step instructions with pictures. Agatha thinks you are the bomb for doing this. Thanks again.

Very helpful and informative. I'll be using this to help my tiny mealy colony grow.

Well-written article! This article made raising mealworms sound very easy and simple. Good pictures as well, and showed the different stages of the beetles' growth.

Thank you for this article, demonstrating an easy, low fuss way to do it! I think we are going to give this a try!

We have been going back and forth over whether or not to raise our own meal worms. We had also seen the 3 drawer method and it seemed like a lot of fuss which turned us off the idea.

Almost tempted to try this.

This is the first article I read that actually makes me want to start raising mealworms. It sounds easy enough to raise mealworms this way.

Was a bit disappointed I cant use the processor from my old Mac though.

very easy to understand , well written, and humorous as well. great article!

This is a GREAT tutorial. Thank you!

Such a good guide to raising mealworms! Great article!

Nicely done. I may try this.

Excellent!

I use chopsticks to get the mealworms out if I only need a few

Easy instructions, easy set-up, easy maintenance ... and super-easy on the wallet! Harvesting is easy, too. Just pick up a scoop with a dollar-store kitchen sieve and shake it gently. Smaller worms and eggs fall through. Live beetles crawl over the edge, leaving the dead ones in the basket as extra chicken-treats. If you want to keep the pupae, just flick them out with a finger-tip - and if you pick your scoop carefully, you may not even have to do that!.

Excellent article have been thinking about doing this my self

Nice article. The pictures really helped. I am not sure what the egg carton is for. Looks like you put carrots in there. But in the text it sounded like you put the carrots in the corners of the tank. What am I missing?
It would be great to add in one more piece about how you separate out the worms to feed the chickens (if you do separate them).
Thanks for writing this.

Very informative. Thanks for writing this @notabitail!
I'm going to start a mealworm farm for my chooks.
I have a tank, and the drawer. I've not started the farm yet.
I might try both.
Thanks!!
