@MirandaB @ScareCrow - how are you guys getting on with your Dero worms? I've just ordered a starter culture set to try them out.
With moving house this year, and being so busy, I'm late to the party getting my outdoor Moina tubs going. I'm on my second failed attempt at hatching some cysts. I don't know whether the cysts go out of date (I've had them over a year), or I'm doing something wrong (2 litres of rain water from a butt in a glass vase), but I just can't seem to get any live ones? My outdoor 80 litre tub with an oak leaf substrate is now over ready for them.
This year I need to see if I can maintain a population through the winter so I don't have to go through this PITA hatching process each year.
Also, has anyone got any thoughts on the idea of just chucking some black worms in the outdoor tubs too?
