Worm farming blog update; Giant European nightcrawler

Well the greenhouse is dried in and almost complete. Just need end walls on it, but I don't see much point in adding them until next winter since spring is just around the corner and they will not be needed when its warm.

Also I have got started on building the frame for a worm bed in it. It should be good to add worms to by the middle of next week.

The other day when shipping out worms I run across this giant worm.

I think I am going to call him wormzilla.

He weighs out at 6.5 grams! The average size is about 1.5 grams and the next largest worm I have seen to this one was about 2.2 grams, so he is a giant. Hopefully I can get him to reproduce some more giant worms, but I am unsure if this is a phenotype or a genotype (nature vs nurture) caused giant.
