Da-Le Ranch

Our Museum currently has a "Life Science" exhibit, which includes an educational "worm behavior experiment" station, in which we had been using worms from a worm composter bin donated to us by a museum member. However, we had encountered a high mortality rate with our worms, largely due to our lack of Â?worm care knowledge.Â?

Enter Farmer Dave at Da-Le Ranch, whom we found online, to save the day!! And save the day he did!! He jumped hoops to educate us on proper worm care and vermiculture techniques. He also offered wonderful and economical solutions on how we might improve the set up of our "worm station" in a way that might better sustain the wormsÂ? life, while continuing to offer educational opportunities for the children!

He also went to great lengths to ship us his red wiggler worms, outside of their typical shipping dates, to ensure our new worms and Turbo Bin arrived in plenty of time for the next large tour group of children.

I'm happy to report the new worms are settling into their new composter bin very well and appear happy and healthy! Armed with Farmer Dave's wonderful educational tips and excellent reference material, we feel much more confident on how to care for these little guys, and the children are particularly excited about this life science station.

We were grateful for all his patience and time in getting us set up properly!! He and his staff exemplify great customer service and are an excellent resource for healthy worms and great educational material on vermiculture and vermicomposting! Debbie Gleason
