[QUOTE="CosbyArt, post: 296332, member: 8168"] [USER=9395]@BigDazz[/USER] Your welcome. For a small culture it doesn't get any smaller than a deli cup in my above photo. That one uses charcoal and water only, then just add springtails. Although, I've found if they are placed in potting soil and fed various vegetable scraps or just about anything else that is food (dry dog/cat/rabbit/etc) they will reproduce much faster and have bigger populations vs the charcoal setup. So if you want to give that a go just add the soil to a deli cup instead of the charcoal and add some food. If you do a deli cup culture just open the lid every 3 days or so to allow the air to exchange, and release the excess humidity, otherwise they will eventually run out of air. ;) [/QUOTE]
