I would like to know how much worms I'd have on hand given an initial amount and period of time. Here are some metrics regarding the growth rate of these worms.
2.45 - 3.5 cocoons per adult worm per day.
2.5 - 3.8 worms per cocoon
Incubation period 18 - 26 days
Hatchling viability 73% - 80%
30 days from hatchling to adult
Earthworm Life Expectance is 594 days (assume from hatchling).
How can I calculate the estimated amount of worms I'd have if I started with N amount of worms, after t amount of time?
Hint - try using the data available to you to determine the multiplied increase in a population as a result of ONE worm in a given time period.
