| Worm Cocoons |
Worms reproduce at an astounding
rate- nearly doubling their population
in 4-6 weeks. Worms have both male
and female mating organs and when
they mate, each produces a cocoon
which may contain 1-6 baby worms. A
bin can become crowded real fast with
cocoons or the future of the bin.

If you notice, the darker cocoons are
the older ones and will soon be ready to hatch. The lighter cocoons are
relatively new and will take about 3 weeks to birth.
When the worms are mating, they align their bodies and their mating organs
side by side. Their reproductive organs will release both the sperm and the
eggs, once they are in place. After the initial meeting, the worms will part
and as they leave each other, the fluids roll down their bodies and solidify
into a gelatin mass that hardens into the cocoon. Inside the little package,
the sperm and the egg meet to reproduce up to 6 babies in one serving.
One worm is responsible for reproducing 4-30 worms per month and has a
life span of over 1 year. Since they reproduce so fast, a well managed herd
can grow to millions if supported.
