Thinking about getting a wormery - stuff that can be added
Posted: Fri Aug 19, 2022 10:34 am
Hi All,
I am planning to buy a wormery - we're a small household (3 adults) so thinking about the 75L one.
My question is:
I have a small lizard that is fed with live locusts and mealworms.
The locusts are kept on a thin bed of soft wood shavings (the ones you can buy for guinea pigs and bunnies) and are fed with green leaves - can these wood shavings be added to the wormery?
There will obviously be some locust poop on them, but the qty is very small as the little buggers like to poop in their water gel containers.
The mealworms do produce some waste since they're eating fresh veggies - can this waste be added to the wormery or would it be better to be considered a "final compost" as the one produced by the wormery?
Apologies if this is a bit out of scope, I am trying to collect info and make informed decisions to suit my household conditions best.
Thanks in advance.
