No, zukes don't go to bolt as such... if they are flowering I would leave them to produce personally. If you are concerned the plant is too small you could try cutting off the female flowers so *hopefully* all nutrients go into it growing bigger ...

The less you feed them, the less eggs you get, as worms keep population down to suite their home.(I heard that they eat each other if no food for them?) and if you over feed them, then it just goes yuk lol.

I kept forgetting to feed mine, so all the food are completely gone by the time I remember to feed them. I don't put any wet newspaper or any extra cover on, just kept the styrofoam box's lid on. I just fed them some chopped up mango skin, kiwi fr...

I haven't been paying much attention at all, probably all dead from starvation! Must get out there and have a good look and try feeding them as outlined below - Ash just spread it out on the top, and we don't even have newspaper on the top yet. M...

What is local? Why local?

What is local?
The closer the better - but regional and global activities are important too.
Why local?
To reduce food miles, increase food freshness & security, improve social outcomes and reduce the unused outputs of our living environments - like stormwater and green waste.
