The rule of thumb for feeding the worms is to add food when half of the last feed is
gone.
In ideal conditions,1lbofredworms can consume 3 lb foods per week. The factors
that impact the rate of composting are climate,temperature,humidity,pH,oxygen
levels,and level of micro-organism inside the bin,and the type and amount of foods
The ideal Conditions can be achieved through efforts of trial and error. Please refer
to the section on System Optimization for tips on optimizing the system.
Adding A New Tray
When the first working tray is 70% full,it is time to add an upper working tray(or 2
nd
working tray) . We suggest the procedure below for adding at ray:
1. Spread a handful of foods on the working tray to be added.
2. Cover the foods with some bedding from the 1 st working tray,decayed
leaves,and/or dry grasses. Or you can purchase coconut coir and mix the
soaked coconut coir with soil as described in the Section of System Set-up. It is
suggested to cover the foods with 1/2" bedding.
3. Add 1/2" shredded moist paper(suggested materials include:
newspaper,books,cardboard or junk mail without plastic coating) on top of the
bedding described in above.
4. Cover it with a couple of sheets of moist newspaper.
5. Place the new tray on top of the 1 st working tray (Note:make sure that the top of
the bedding in the 1 working tray comes incomplete contact with the bottom of the
st
2 nd working tray so that worms can travel through trays) ,and cover with the lid.
6. One week later,add a handful of food only on the new tray (the upper tray) and
bury the foods under the bedding.
7. Continue adding foods when you see approximately half of the foods in the
new tray disappear. Always bury foods under the bedding.
Here are a few tips for adding the 2 nd working tray or the upper working tray:
●Make sure that the top of the bedding in the 1 working tray comes in complete
st
contact with the bottom of the 2 nd working tray so that worms can migrate through
trays.
