I have set up my Worm Farm, now what?Updated 2 months ago
- After a week you can start to add a small amount of food scraps, about a handful every
few days. Gradually increase this as you notice the worms eating more. Once it’s
established and the worms are breeding, they will consume more food scraps. Be careful
not to overfeed them. Uneaten food will begin to smell and attract unwanted pests. - When adding food scraps it’s important not to spread it out covering the entire area.
Start in a section and when you add new scraps put them in a different section working
your way around the farm. - It’s a good idea to cover any new food scraps added with their bedding that is already in
the worm farm or some compost from your compost bin. - Cut food into small pieces. This will make it easier for the worms to eat.
- To keep your worms happy make sure you are giving them some diversity with their food.
- Worms will change with the season, you may need to feed them more in the warmer
months and less in the cooler months.
