Making sure your room isn’t too hot or too cold. That’s right your worms are sensitive to a few things. A successful composting bin is providing a comfortable atmosphere for your worms. So, I put together a step by step guide.

Some Nutrients and micronutrients that are in Worm Castings

Do’s and Dont’s

No chlorinated water

Not to dry and not to moist.

Don’t over or under feed.

No meat, dairy, onions or high acid vegetables or fruits.

Feed worms-

Cardboard and paper with no colored ink.

Coffee grounds, eggshells, watermelon rinds, potatoes and peels and leafy lettuce, you get the point.

DIY Worm Bin

You can use plastic totes as a compost bin by stacking 3 bins

and using 1 lid.

Drilling holes on the bottom of 2 bin layers leaving the bottom layer undrilled. Providing enough efficient air by drilling all along the lid and all around the top edge.

Drilling one drain hole close to the bottom.

Now, you will need a catch tray, coco and some red wigglers.

If your bin PH is off or something else the worms will try to escape. Adding a light over the top will prevent them from escaping why because they are light sensitive. Always take care of any problems.

Check to see If the drainage isn’t blocked. Biggest problem is that there’s not enough oxygen.

If you have a sour smell add shredded cardboard or paper.

Your worm bin population will muiltiply by 2 approximately every 60 days. So if you were thinking of having a worm farm or feeding your axolotl’s

Bin temperatures should be between 55f -80f

Fun fact-

What is a worm, is it a bug, snake or an animal?
