1/2 pound dry will make 2 pounds wet. if your hatching all 1000 at once, i would suggest gettin at least 1pound dry which will make 4 pounds of wet. then see how it goes from there. better too much than not enough.
dont wanna go scramblin for mulberry leaves. to answer your question, 1/2 pound dry will last you 2-3weeks.

1/2 lb. Dry chow will raise up 500 silkworms to about 2" from egg.

Not really. I see that MulberryFarms has a deal on for 10 lbs of dry chow for $49.99. That's 50% off and that will last a long time...

Shipping on 10 lbs of feed won't be cheap though. I bought a 10 lb bag a little while ago (don't remember where from... mulberry or Coastal) and it was on sale, but I think after shipping and everything it came out to about ~$70.
