Has anyone ever had sandy verm take more than a month to fully colonize? I innoc'd on 11/19 and im still at like 75% colonization. Im about to go buy some medium grade verm soon to, but in the mean time this is all I have.

the fine verm is your problem. it may have got compacted very easily and is slowing colinisation, also ur moisture content will probably be too wet with the fine stuff.

I dunno, the first ten jars were at a ratio of 3:1:1. The second batch i made a little wetter 2:1:1. The 2:1:1 started up faster, but i can already see pooling on the bottom. The 3:1:1 look ok, except that a couple of them have wet spots that dont seem to be colonizing.
