You can also harvest the worm compost liquid from the food leach. Simply put a
cup(the new VermiHut Plus comes with a cup) under the tap and open the tap to
drain the liquid. The amount of liquid depends on the types of food fed into the
system. If they are juicy food like watermelon,more liquid is expected. You can
collect the compost liquid once a week. The liquid contains rich nutrient that can
be used for plants. However,since it is a concentrated liquid fertilizer,it should be
diluted with water in a 1: 2 volume ratio.
Air,Moisture. Temperature,and pH
●Air. Just like any living animal,worms need oxygen.
Oxygen is also essential for aerobic bacteria,which helps compost organic
materials. The VermiHut and VermiHut Plus worm bin have a special design on the
M-Board and the air-vented lid to allow better airflow (the older version of VermiHut
does not come with the M-Board) . However,if a worm bin is placed in an
air-stagnant environment such as enclosed cabinet,it is difficult to have fresh air
through the system. Therefore,a worm bin should be placed in a good ventilation
area.
●Moisture. The bedding moisture is important to worms since worms take in
oxygen through moisture on their surface. Please refer to the Section of Set-up
and Start-up for how to check the moisture level of the bedding. Ideally,the
bedding should be slightly damp. If the bedding has too much moisture or too
wet,worms may crawl out of the bin. However,if the bedding is too dry,worms
could die for a lack of oxygen. If the bedding is dry,use a spray bottle to spray
water into the top tray.
●Temperature. The ideal temperature for the worms to compost is between 15
and 25°C(55-77°F) . In the instances of extremely hot weather,it is
recommended to put the worm bin in a sheltered place with good ventilation.
Never place the worm bin indirect sunlight. The plastic bin may absorb heat and
cause the temperature inside the bin to be higher than the environment
temperature. In extremely cold weather(less than 32F or 0℃) ,we would advise
moving it inside the house. The worm bin has very minimal odor(the VermiHut
Plus model comes with a sheet of coconut fiber mat to absorb the trace odor) .
