RE: Getting ready for winter
Hi elley, I think this is beyond me. I was thinking it was the manure, even organic wormers have something in them to kill worms, but you say this was the first fed of manure and it was after you noticed a problem. Onions are not good for worms but you say you are not feeding them now. Any change in...

RE: Getting ready for winter
Hi elley. Your worms will naturally leave the bottom tray as the food there is used up. If u have no bad smells this would indicate the bin is in good order. If conditions are right, temperature and moisture then there should be no dieing off of worms during winter just a slowing down in all they do...

RE: Second tray
Its about 2/3rd full, to stop it resting on the tray below you would only be able to fill the tray about two inches high & that doesn't make sense Hi pancake, the bottom of the second (top) tray should fit inside the top of the first (bottom) tray, if you look the sides of the trays are sloped to f...

RE: Getting ready for winter
If the new washer does not work try some silicon. Once undercover you will not get so much liquid so it should be easier to deal with.

RE: Getting ready for winter
Hi Elley. What a well timed question. Last weekend I moved my worms back into the greenhouse for the winter, this was mainly because here in Scotland it's been very wet and I was struggling to keep the water out. Worms will survive in cold conditions, they have been known to survive in frozen beddin...

RE: Logging on
Hi Ronnie I'm still struggling getting posts to show up when I've made them. Is it still the refresh problem?

RE: No Worm Cocoons?
Hi Mick, sounds like things are really up and running now. I don't think cocoons will withstand being totally dried out. If for any reason you want store, vermicastings or vermicompost for an extended period, you need to sieve/riddle/screen it first, this will remove any uneaten food and partially c...

RE: No Worm Cocoons?
Congratulations on your first harvest. There is no problem in having cocoons mixed in with the castings. Some people pick them all out and return then to their worm bin. I tend to pick out the ones I see others get mixed in with the potting mix or spread round the garden.
