Hi folks,

 

I need Mulberry leaves to feed to some hungry silkworms. Does anyone have
access to a Mulberry tree? I have been feeding the silkworms a Mulberry leaf
mash that costs way to much (about $2 for 4 ounces), so I'm looking for
alternatives. Has anyone had luck feeding silkworms anything other than
Mulberry leaves? I don't need them to make commercial quality silk, only to
successfully complete their life cycle without breaking the bank!

 

Thanks.

 

Steve
