Hi there - brand new to the forum and to vermicomposting. (and to Austin!).

Just building my 3-layered vermicomposter and it seems very commercial to buy red wrigglers from an industrial supplier when there are a lot of other composters in the Austin area. Does anyone have a handful of red wrigglers they could donate to kickstart my colony? I am happy to pay it forward to another newbie once mine start to establish and reproduce. Many thanks :)

Looking forward to learning a lot from these forums (have spent hours already reading and learning from all the different threads)
