Hi newbe here to the wonderful world of worms.
Received my new wormcity wormery May this year, set up straight away, in our kitchen, as we only have a decked terrace. (live in a flat) Hope keeping it here is ok ?
Had quite a few escapees the first two weeks, but that was fun finding them all and putting them back every morning, hoping I hadn’t missed any, didn’t want to loose my precious cargo! But that all settled down by week 3.
Anyway since then everything has been ticking over, they are now moving up to the second tray, but I still have quite a few in the first tray, probably due to there still been paper in the tray?
What I would like to know is just how much food can we place in there everyday? Have been doing the corners, then covering with damp newspaper? Is this right? When eat a lot of veg so always have peeling lettuce leaves, plus dried egg shells, tea bags and coffee etc can we put a lot more in ? And do we keep covering the food with paper?
Always have a few also in the sump, keep placing them back in the trays, but few always go back, is this ok ?
Thank you and hi to all the wormcity crew.
