Worms on a Diet |
|
 Worm Food Rotation You can feed the worms in a rotating pattern, burying the food in a different spot each day. |
Worms will do best on a vegetarian diet. They love fruit and vegetable scraps, tea leaves, coffee grounds, cereal, bread, and oatmeal. Crushed egg shells added to the bin will provide calcium for your worms and also prevents acidic conditions from developing in the bedding. It is best to avoid meats and dairy by-products which tend to create odors. It is important to cover the food with the bedding to prevent odors and fruit flies from invading your bin. The worm compost can be harvested about every three months. Once you notice that the original bedding has disappeared, it is time to harvest. |
