Do you think I could put my fledgling mealworm colony into my barrels? Looking forward to the pictures!I keep a mealworm compost pile near my chicken coop. I put the dirty hay and shavings and everything else dirty (even moldy feed) from the chicken coops and my sheep barn stalls into the compost pile and I feed the mealworms to my chickens. It works great and the mealworms multiply fast! I will post a picture of it in the morning.
I like having mealworms in the pile because
A. The chickens love to eat them
B. They multiply fast
C. Unlike earthworms, they don't need to stay wet and do fine in both dry and wet climates
