4.  Worm eggs- small, yellowish, marble like balls.  Worms multiply monthly and evidence of that will be shown through the translucent yellow small liquid filled balls you will find throughout the soil.  There is no special care needed other than do not smash them.

5.  As your worms multiply, you may want to insert directly into garden or separate them into a worm farm to feed chickens, use as bait for fishing, or create separate compost bins.  There are simple set ups with rubber bins, 5 gallon buckets, or a large container that can be turned manually.
