Closer Look At Raising Alabama Jumpers In A Worm Bin
I have been honing in on my shooting skills with my digital camera on the Alabama Jumpers as they burrow down rather quickly once I remove the lid. Today was a better day hence I figured I would post an update.
Now for those in disbelief that anyone can raise Alabama Jumpers which reproduce at a good rate in a controlled environment, here are some pictures for you. After all a picture is worth a thousand words or in this case worms!
These are just some of the juvenile Alabama Jumpers in the worm bin I have been raising them. When I dig down it literally will expose thousands more of the little guys from a quarter inch to about two inches in length.
The first picture below displays little stick like items in the photo which in reality are little Alabama Jumpers. This morning there were thousands on the surface area feeding on the remnants of some Purina Worm Chow I have been feeding them.

The following picture is a close up image of a few of the small Alabama Jumpers. As you can see from the picture, they start off as translucent before growing into the grayish color known to the Alabama Jumper.

That’s all on the latest Alabama Jumpers update however will post some more in the near future.

Hey Bruce- All this info has been very helpful. Thank you for giving such solid information regarding raising jumpers.
I am going to be building raised garden beds in my backyard this weekend. After doing some searching online, I decided to purchase the supplies to make a worm tower out of PVC pipe for each raised bed. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFuIFnjK-ko)
I am wondering if you have any ideas for making this plan successful. I am considering using rodent bedding (cheap woodchips) as the primary layer under my peat & top soil to encourage the jumpers to stay & be happy in my garden. I think I may add shredded newspaper to the soil mix as well. The whole top will be covered by sheets of newspaper & burlap to keep the soil moist in the hot summer sun.
I am in southern NJ and the soil underneath the beds is pretty well compressed.
Also, how many jumpers does one need per sq foot of garden space?
I really appreciate your help and any thoughts you might have regarding this. Thanks!

The main thing is to have a hard compacted soil below which will enable the Alabama Jumpers to live comfortably. It sounds as if you are on the right track.
If you have any updates for us, please let us know how your worms are doing.
