^^ Useful linkage!
The bugs that are important to have are isopods, springtails, and good bacteria. This is achieved by ordering cultures of the various buggies, or going out and hand-collecting. Icollected my isopods, and it was much cheaper.Spring tails are a little harder to catch though, simply because they're sooo tiny. Good bacteria can be achieved by using an organic, unsanitized potting soil in your substrate, and making sure you have a good drainage layer, or a false bottom.
