Maintaining worm bin - The left to right technique ( or right to left - watever!)

This is for people who already have a worm bin for 3 months and knows the basic. This technique is easy because you only need to maintain the bin once a week. It looks something like these:

[OLD COMPOST] -- [1 Week old Decaying Material] -- [New Bedding with food scrap]

Illutration:

1. To my left are the old compost. In the middle are where 1 week old bedding & decaying matterial are. To my right are new bedding.
   
   
   
   
2. This is how the 1 week old decaying material looks like.
   
   
   
   
3. I start by pushing everything to the left (litterally). This leave an empty space on the right. Please be gentle, worms will die if you cut them in half! Rumors having 2 worms when you cut them in two is fake.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Now place the new bedding on the empty space. Add food scraps in the new bedding. Then sprinkle water on top of the bedding. Make sure it is moist but not wet.  Dry bedding will discourage worms away.
   
   
   
   
   
5. They love water melon, if you have some, just put them on top or else you are already done
   
   
   

Finally, cover the new bedding with dry grass & old compost to discourage foul smell. No dry grass? Just make sure you food scrap is under the bedding then.




!!! REMEMBER to keep the bedding as loose. Worms needs air to breath.
