Is there any Worm Farm maintenence?Updated 2 months ago
YES
Every week or so it’s a good idea to flush your worm fam with half a bucket of water.
This ensures the entire farm stays moist. When doing this make sure to replace the liquid
collection tray with a vessel that will hold the sudden influx of water.
A healthy worm farm should smell earthy. If your worm farm smells rotten and vinegary,
then acidity may be too high. This can be fixed by gently aerating the worm farm,
and or adding some crushed egg shells (it’s a good idea to dry them out first), dolomite
lime or garden lime (a dusting over the top is a sufficient amount).
It’s important to protect your worms in extreme weather conditions. To protect against
heat make sure that they are in a shady part of the garden. Be sure to keep your worm
farm moist. You may need to flush it with water every day or so. In extreme cold climates
make sure the worm farm is out of the rain and a thick worm blanket is being used.
You could also add additional bedding of compost and worm castings.
