malawi_man Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 how would i ship micro worms in containers because the mixture on the bottom would fall off if the container was upset?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interfecus Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Cover them well and don't worry too much about it. As long as the container is very well sealed you shouldn't have a problem. If it falls away a few bangs should restore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Where are you shipping to?? I just send mine in an envelope as a letter I received one from Matt in Auck after I explained how to send. That worked perfectly ok You may see the results at Napier from that shipment. I also sent some to Bikie, she also has been successful at getting her culture going. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 The time I sent them I just used a small zip lock bag and sent that in an envelope - I wasn't really send an actual culture just enough for the person at the other end to seed a culture with.

Alan Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Yep, Rob, I'm similar but cheaper. A piece of 'glad-wrap', a heavy smear of the top working area of the culture, wrap it up and sellotape, send. On arrival, Add to a piece of damp bread that has had a small amount of dry yeast spread onto it. Wipe the starter onto this. Micro worms will start climbing in about a week using this method. Straight away, make a new culture as a back up, in case the first should go off. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
