Bedding Never let the bedding dry out, or become too wet. This will keep your bin trouble-free and your worms happy. Temperature Avoid extremes. Imagine the bin is separated into six sections and bury food starting with section one, then two, three and so on. When you get to the last section, return to the first and start again.
Castings are tiny dark brown droppings with a sweet, rich, earthy smell.
Remove this finished compost as soon as possible - worms can t survive in their own castings. Scoop all of the finished compost to one side of the bin and add fresh bedding and food scraps to the cleared area. The worms will travel from the finished compost to the fresh bedding in search of food. After about a week, remove the finished compost and add more fresh bedding. Under direct light, dump the contents of your bin in piles on a sheet of plastic.
