Worm Composting Problems

There are a host of problems that can occur in any worm compost bin.  Included in our Vermicomposting Guide is a Trouble Shooting Chart that lists common symptoms, their causes, and their solutions.  This chart is an  important key to assuring your success in vermicomposting.

Problems left unresolved can lead to worm "crawls", sick worms, dead worms,  and pests. If you worm bin becomes "sick", your worms will stop eating, stop breeding, and stop making compost.  They can crawl and/or die when conditions become unfavorable to them.

The most common mistakes in vermicomposting are:

  • Letting the bin become too wet
  • Letting the bin become too  dry
  • Letting the bin become too acid
  • Overfeeding
  • Underfeeding
  • Feeding the wrong foods
  • Disturbing the worms

We have provided an easy to follow Trouble Shooting Chart in our Vermicomposting Guide. This chart, along with our detailed container/feeding/bedding instructions, gives you the information you need to keep your worm bin healthy. You'll have solutions to problems that can occur to any vermicomposter.

Having the knowledge you need in a handy, easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide will make your vermicomposting experience a pleasant and productive one.  This Vermicomposting Guide is provided FREE with your worm order.
