Re: what have I done wrong ???
I know what you mean. But after a while you will build up enough humus in your garden and your worms will be happy living and making babies in wild. The worms most of us keep in our bins are native to the uk and will live and thrive anywhere there is rich soil (or protentially rich soil, like compos...

Re: Feeding
OK but there is no need for newspaper in any part of the sump. The levels are there to assist the worms to return to the bottom tray. I fear the paper will break down and encourage the worms to go to the sump and block the tap. To the worms newspaper is food and in the sump it will get wet. if you ...

Re: what have I done wrong ???
Hi MC, it's good too hear your worms are so productive maybe it's something in the water lol. Basically I just leave them in the castings and distribute them around the garden or plot.

Re: What did you feed your worms today?
