How to Make Worm Compost In Your Worm Composting Bin
Worms housed in the proper container, with properly prepared
bedding, fed the proper foods in the proper amounts, will produce
perfect worm castings for years to come.
You can save time and money, keep your worms alive, and avoid many
common problems by following a few important guidelines.
Proper Worm Bin
The worm bin you choose, whether a commercial available on or
your own homemade bin from totes, should provide:
- Adequate shelter from the elements.
- Adequate air flow
- Security from predators
- Restrict your worms from crawling
- Room to "grow" - compost and newly hatched worms
Proper Bedding
The bedding you choose to place in your worm bin should:
- Maintain correct moisture levels.
- Be non-acidic
- Be fluffy - not compacted
- Be non-toxic
- Be edible
Our Vermicomposting Guide provides a list of safe bedding materials and detailed instructions on preparing the bedding.
Proper Food
You should feed your worms a variety of foods, never too much of any one kind. Problems occur when you feed too much of any one kind of food, usually creating an acid condition - deadly to composting worms.
Food should be added in small amounts when you first receive your worms and introduce them to their new home. gradually increase the amounts over several days.
In our Vermicomposting Guide, you're given an exact feeding schedule to get your worms off to a good start and avoid problems or worse- making your worms sick.
You'll learn what to feed, when to feed and how much to feed. This Vermicomposting Guide is provided FREE with your purchase of composting worms.
