Feeding worries!
Posted: Sun Jun 06, 2021 2:01 pm
Hello,
I've had my wormery just over a month and have been a bit unsure on how much food to put in and how small to chop up the pieces. I was using the four corner method but possibly being a bit timid on how much to add (a few dessert spoonfulls every few days). My mum has come to stay and has gone and put a layer of food across the whole top of the wormery, on top of the bedding but underneath the newspaper sheets I put on top. Have just discovered this, but also noticed that they now seem to have eaten most of their bedding underneath. A few questions:
- Should I remove all the food she added in case it goes rotten, or just leave them and not feed for a few days while they eat through that?
- Do I add more damp shredded paper for bedding on top of the food?
- How small do I need to chop my food waste?
Thank you,
Jessica
