How do I maintain my worm bin effectively?

To maintain your worm bin, ensure it's kept in a cool, dark place, and feed the worms a balanced diet of kitchen scraps.

What should I avoid putting in the worm bin?

Avoid adding meat, dairy, oily foods, and citrus fruits, as they can harm the worms and create odors.

How often should I feed the worms?

Feed your worms every 1-2 weeks, but monitor their consumption and adjust based on how quickly they eat.

What is the ideal moisture level for the worm bin?

The ideal moisture level is similar to a damp sponge. If it's too wet, add dry materials; if too dry, mist with water.

How do I know when to harvest the compost?

You can harvest the compost when the material looks dark and crumbly, usually every 3-6 months.
