Hope you keep the lid on your bin. That's the sort of thing I mean. I hear barly is very energising.
Keep it up.
All the best

RE: No Worm Cocoons?
Hi Mick, it takes a while for a new bin to settle down and for the population to start to grow. The main thing at this point is to ensure your worms are healthy. Worms should look shiny and bright, be active if distubed or exposed to light. If your worms are like this they will be breeding soon. You...

RE: Releasing a few worms?
Hi Alef, the compost heap is a natural place for our worms to be living so they should be fine in there. The worms will wander in and out out of the compost heap but where ever they end they will be a benefit to your garden. One way to put worms to work in your garden is to set up a worm tower. Th...

RE: How Much Liquid from a Wormery?
It all seem to be going great,well done. Once set up the kitchen waste will provide all the moisture the worms need.

RE: How much to feed
Willy, thanks for the quick replies! I will start using your four corners approach, but am waiting until they've been set up two weeks. Only just started this week. My worms had their coir block, some soil from the garden, worm food and wet newspaper/card. But then on the second day they were tryin...

RE: How Much Liquid from a Wormery?
Hi Rob, you seem to be up and running now. I have posted two threads about food over the last couple of days "worms not eating" and "how much to feed" which I think may address the food issues you raised, if not get back to me. Liquid (also called leachate) this is produced by moisture flowing over ...

RE: How much to feed
Is the main danger of overfeeding that you have rotting food? I've got a new wormery and have given them a fair amount of homemade compost soil. My thinking is that it's quite rich in nutrients but can remain uneaten for however long they leave it. Hi again Alef, you are right, the main danger to a...

RE: Paper shredder
Hi Alef, the bedding will be fine the worms will get in and about it in no time. If you want to help tease the bedding apart every time you feed your worms.
Welcome to the world of worms, if I can help in anyway just shout.

RE: Worms not eating
Hi, there are number of reasons for worms not eating. You said your worms "were not eating" not that they "have stopped eating", from that I assume you have a new worm bin? Setting up a worm bin is easy, put in some bedding, then some worms and then kitchen food waste, job done. Sadly not, there is ...
