Out of the 45 mature worms, 10 have decided it is time to spin - some more will decide later today, I'm sure. So far they have all chosen loo roll instead of egg cartons which may mean I'm about to have a worm crisis of some sort, but I've called the neighbours to see if I can come up with some more.
See the worm on the bottom right? Do you see the way the scaffolding is finished and the cocoon is starting to take shape? It takes about three days for the cocoon to be finished. Once they're at this stage, ensconced in the scaffold and clearly spinning, I can take them out of the cake trays and leave them uncovered. They're not going anywhere.
