That’s funny stuff right there.
Hey Tiny,
I killed my first worms almost 10 years ago. Now I tend to keep them alive, if not thriving half the time, 
As for how long, meh I dunno, til they look done, i guess. It depends alot on the weather, as a warm winter will keep them rocking pretty good,.
So, with that in mind, I’d say the rootball pot i dropped a dozen worms in and some egg cases, should be done by Spring, with a little encouragement.
So many lbs this year, may need to sell some

I gave them their first “feeding” with about a pound of chopped up cauliflower leafs and cores and some broccoli ends. Chopped them up real small in a food processor and added some or the coffee ground to the bedding. There are around 500 in there, so what should I be looking at as far as next feeding? A few days to a week?

I’d give it a week and check food levels as you go after a couple good feeds you should be good at estimating what they eat

Seems like it’s not very active here, lately, so it’s good I have a question. Just pressed about 10 lbs of grapes and wanted to make sure there was no problem putting the “pulp” (I guess you would call it) in with my worm scraps. I know everyone is saying to limit the amount of coffee grains, as they are real acidic, but what about this? Is all the acidy goodness pressed out with the juice?

I think it’s only citrus fruit you need to avoid using, so they should be good, just remember to keep it balanced with other things as well.

I have been. I mix all of the veggies, avo parts and coffee/tea (well some of it. the rest gets bagged separately) together, bag it up and freeze it.

You may get some compost heat but they should be great.

I read about this in college. The original worms were brought over in the soil used to ballast boats. This would have been some 1492 type boats.
