Two tailed or two headed red wiggler worm ?🪱🪱
Found one of these in my worm bin today! I’m sure it’s not all that uncommon, but it’s cool! I found an earth worm like 20 years ago like this as well.

Does it have two heads or two tails? 😂

A Photo Tour of My Operation
1: The trommel in action. Worms fall off on the right and come out pretty pure

2: 10 of the 100 pounds harvested yesterday

3: My rack system

4: Showing how you can slide out a rack to access it

5: My CFT i scooped up from terra vesco when they went out of business. RIP. Don't know who the other people were who got the other few hundred feet of CFTs but I wish I bought more!

6: an older picture of a worm casting harvest. Was about 1500 pounds. I'm very focused on just growing worms and castings are a byproduct so I don't make that much.

7: The 100 pounds of red wigglers from yesterday packaged up
