Worm Growth Info

The greenhouse is full of worms now, 4 full months after starting the worm bins with an initial population of 15,000 red wiggler worms.

One mature worm will produce 99 hatchlings over the time period of 11 weeks and those hatchlings will take 8-12 weeks to become mature worms.

15,000 worms x 99 hatchlings/11 weeks

= 1,485,000 hatchlings

The 15,000 worms keep reproducing given their is enough space, food and proper living conditions.

So.. for another 11 weeks

15,000 worms x 99 hatchlings/11 weeks

= 1,485,000 hatchlings

At this point (22 weeks) there are about...

15,000 mature worms 

1,485,000 additional hatchlings

1,485,000 juvenile worms (about to start reproducing)

In another 11 weeks there will be over 1,500,000 mature worms...

Fortunately the worms will slow their reproduction.

15,000 worms eat 7-15 pounds of food per day,  

1,500,000 worms would eat 750-1500 pounds of food per day.

I would estimate there are over 60,000 mature worms in the bins.
