[QUOTE="Deacon, post: 288771, member: 8619"] Introvertebrate, My mind has been whirling since reading your post. I was really excited until I realized I would only be able to cap one ring on the inside, haha. But your comment, "when you're not using them," gave me an idea. Instead of pulling the sleeve into the ring and banding it all up as the DIY suggests (the worms still have access to it), I will remove the sleeves from the inside completely. The organza (so I could see through them) sleeves that I made not only have elastic at the wrist to keep moths from flying into them, but I also put a wide band of elastic at the arm ends so I could slip it over the inner ring when I had to replace the plastic bags. I will make new sleeves (as the originals are trashed) and slip them onto the outside of the ring only when I want in the bin! I should be able to reach into the sleeve, remove the ring lid, and push on into the bin, past all the pupating worms. If not, they'll get a rude awakening when I knock them off the inner ring! I'll update this when I see if it actually works. So, Introvertebrate, thanks for the mental push :detective: It really helps to bounce ideas around with others ! I love this forum! It just makes the hobby that much more fun! Nancy [/QUOTE]
