Well WillyWorm. I think they're doing ok
I now have a family of flies that great me each time I open the lid, some tiny brown things that live in clumps between the lid and lip of the top shelf - ants? But brilliantly baby worms. And loads of them! Success.!!!

Re: what is the right amount of wet?
Thanks WillyWorm! I did have a few peeks yesterday at the top of the bedding tray and they seemed to be ok still. Like George Pilkington says in his book it's an art not a science! I do enjoy the worms very much. I was looking on the website thinking of ordering a second one, but should really se...

what is the right amount of wet?
I've had my worms for a little over a month now and my next stress-attack about making sure I'm a good worm-keeper is the right amount of wet. After a bit of rain getting in, and the perhaps overzealous addition of left-over (uncooked) beansprouts, I became paranoid that perhaps I was starting to tu...

Re: Feeding
Hahaha. Not really any liquid in there yet. I've stopped checking them now they're set up outside, leaving them be. I open the tap every so often to check for liquid, but nothing comes out. Upgraded their house with a new level recently. I know it's a bit early, but they did get a lot of additional ...

Re: Feeding
Yeah. I took the newspaper out, but they do seem to like it there!

Re: Feeding
Ok. I'll take it out. I read it somewhere to put it in, but I don't want to help block up the tap!
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Feeding
Obviously not explaining myself very well. That is how it's set up. But the sump has essentially 3 levels-it's stepped that way, the lowest level being in the centre. That's what I meant. So newspaper is in about 2/3rds of it, bit not at the edges.

Re: Feeding
Thanks! Great tips. :) I will check the first lot of food I put in, although it wasn't much-bit of banana skin and lettuce. Re the sump-no food in there. At the start I dutifully returned the worms to their bedding, but I later read ot was fine them being there and to just add some scrunched up new...

Feeding
So, I got my wormery complete with 1kg worms exactly one week ago. Set it up with the coir, some old compost, some organic composted manure and a small handful of cereals (supplied) with damp shredded newspaper on top. It is sited in my attic as there was the cold snap at the weekend, and I've not s...
