Re: Increasing wormery efficiency
I like having a few “Isopods” (wood lice) in my trays. They are also very easy to keep and breed. I have some in a small plastic fish tank, they are munching through leaves and rotten wood and turning is into wonderful casting. They only produce small amounts, even then they are slow, but it’s inter...

Re: Increasing wormery efficiency
The more worms you start with the quicker you will see results, a wormcity worm bin can accommodate about 2,500 worms and you get approx 1,000 worms to the pound weight and that’s a good number to start with. By being careful with grain products I mean keeping an eye on them, make sure they do not f...

Re: Increasing wormery efficiency
Hi, You can put anything that once lived or was part of something that once lived into your worm bin. But some items require special care or can take a long time to breakdown.

Re: 6ish Weeks in, what do I do now?
Hi Red, thanks for the update, sounds like things are really going well. Once better weather comes you will think this worm keeping lark is a breeze. I should think you are ready for adding another tray. It should not upset your worms, just take a handful of bedding from the existing tray put it int...

Re: fixing lid on top of tray
There is no trick to it. It should just drop in place regardless of which way you put it on. I suggest you contact Wormcity by email with a picture if possible, I’m sure they will try to help. You will get contact details from Wormcity web site.
Good luck

Re: How to best empty wormery trays
Hi Leo, yea the rate of food consumption drops dramatically in cold weather. Worms are ok eating their bedding and part worked castings if the food runs down.
