The Earthworm Nursery
The top picture are Vermipods. Vermipods are small clay balls and inside the clay ball is the earthworm cocoon. The cocoons look like little apple seeds (see picture 2). You put the vermipods in a net and dissolve the clay and then put them in the small plastic container titled Vermipod Earthworm Cocoons. Some of the worms hatched out right away. Once they hatch then you put them in the Earthworm Nursery, that has dirt in it and you sprinkle in some food. Stay tuned to see how big the worms get! I ordered these from http://www.insectlore.com.
