I’ve got worms! I have a two bay box with a tap on the bottom one for draining. I use a soil/cococore substrate. I add shredded paper, dried leaves, cardboard and then place a peice of old woollen blanket over it to help keep the fruit flies out. I put food scraps under the woollen met. Keep their substrate moist but not wet.

Worms are one big mucus membrane so I think of that when I’m deciding what to put in my farm. Avoid anything salty, spicy, greasy, oily or fatty and plant waste like garlic, onions, or other alums. Don’t give them poisonous plants like sumac or anything with pesticides on it. you’re best off hot composting things like the above and just avoiding salts in your garden and also pesticides.

Do feed them a balanced diet of green and brown waste. They need both.

Don’t release your worms as most commercial farm worms will not match the wild varieties.
