just look at them Laughing

plastic tab (deli container with pin sized holes in the lid) couple inches of black eyed bean (dry) add a few weavils and a few beans from an already established culture, and leave some where warm.

They will come in cycles on week you'll see 1 or 2 and the next hundreds,

not fr ever no Laughing

I split cultures (or did as my last tub went to Scott) every month or so into new containers with new beans and then add new beans to the culture I split from.
