being composted quickly enough by the worms,the foods will become
rotten,causing odor. In this case,remove the rotten foods and the excessive
foods,especially the large pieces of food.
ii. There are protein types of foods such as meats,bones,dairy products and
greasy foods inside the worm bin. Worms can't compost these types of foods.
When they are exposed to the air,they would naturally de-compose and smell.
Avoid adding these types of foods into the worm bin. They can cause odor,lower
the pH and even kill the worms.
iii. Too much moisture. Excessive moisture in the bin can also cause odor. In this
case,you can add some dry shredded paper to the top tray to absorb the
excessive moisture.
iv. Insufficient Oxygen. Anaerobic bacteria,which grow in the environment with
lack of oxygen,carry about an unpleasant odor by nature. Use a claw to loosen the
bedding to allow more air to flow through the bin. The new version of the VermiHut
and the VermiHut Plus model have the M-Board design to increase airflow by over
10 times. This is a great help to maintain sufficient oxygen to the bin.
The VermiHut Plus model comes with a piece of coconut fiber mat inside the lid to
remove the already minimal odor. Other worm bin models don't have this design.
Ants:
Sometimes,the worm foods may invite ants to the bin. The VermiHut Plus model
comes with four ant-trappers. Simply place the ant trappers under the base and fill
them with water. The poor ants will be trapped in the water if they come to invade
your worm bin. This is a new design for the VermiHut Plus model. Other worm
bin models don't have this design.
