Re: What did you feed your worms today?
Yeah I'm careful with my grass clippings. There's only a thin layer in each wormery and there's plenty of shredded paper and cardboard in there too to dilute it. I find that the worms will dig into it as and when they decide it's okay to do so.

Re: Where should my wormery live?
I used to cover my wormeries with a polythene sheet outdoors to stop rain getting in, but these days I leave them uncovered and open to the elements, making sure I drain off the leachate often though.

Stick a bit of plumbers mate or silicon around the washers if your tap joint is dripping.
