Feeding

Worms

The bedding material can be peat mire, elderly manure, sawdust, dried grass clippings, hay, garden loam, coir (coconut fiber),Casino de Monte Carlo, straw, damp news, Hessian, cotton rags, elderly horse/cow manure (fresh manure heats up) shredded cardboard, newspaper, grocery bags, and most types of snatched leaves. Oak and other extremely acidic leaves are not recommended since these worms don't like an acidic environment.

Oh and of way, don't forget the worms, Red Wrigglers or Red Worms (tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions) and/or Night Crawlers (feed on deeper chapters of the bin) will do the job. A mixture of the two will create rich and profuse worm castings.

If you have been questing for a way to exercise your "green" thumb bound into this fun and matchless earth of "vermiculture." or "vermicompost" is an organic gardening process of normal composting using earthworms, known as the Red Wriggler (Eisenia fetida). The Wrigglers transform food scraps into rich compost and liquid fertilizer. It is the absolute liking to aid the "cradle-to-cradle" return of organic material to its origin, mother globe.

They consume edible scraps, cilia, and dust depressing alphabetical waste along 25% in almost 60 days; and generate worm castings, which include the richest form of fertilizer known to male. Concentrated worm castings are quite potent fertilizers and have to be mixed with jugging soil or water to dilute the concentration. Worm castings promote higher than mean growth in factories and are rich in phosphorus, nitrogen, and track minerals.

Harvesting Worm Castings

Worms

Worms need a diversity of foods, and greatly obliged a well-rounded diet. Worms will happily consume fruit and vegetable scraps/peels (except citrus fruit, onion, garlic and chilies), tea bags/tea leaves, coffee grounds and filters, crushed eggshells, newspaper, cardboard, eggs cartons and shredded/soaked pizza boxes, old flowers and small values of garden waste, pasta, rice, wet bread & cereal, hair and small sums of dust from vacuum cleaner. Avoid onions, garlic, citrus, dairy products, seafood, mutton, fuel, and caress droppings, or the wrigglers will sprint for the mounds.

Worms will eat ½ their heaviness of food each day. Be careful to not overfeed your worms. Like you feed your household, merely fared them once they have partial eaten their previous food. This means no abandon ahead dinner. Worms lack teeth and prefer their food mashed, chopped or pureed.

To start your new worm venture you will need the emulating supplies:

Worms shun light and are photophobicthey shun either sun and pretended light, burrowing for deep as they can to escape the light. Heat and brightness will dehydrate the mini Wrigglers and all you'll bring an end to ... are "fried" worms.

The Red Wrigglers are the hardiest, fastest reproducers of the vermin culture world they efficiently gobble up waste and build worm castings. Well-fed worms rebuild even faster, at an belling rate.
