Hey Julia

You sure can use the card board trays. this is a fantastic bedding for worms. to add to worm bin rip them up a little and add a little water, Worms can live in Card board and a food source just fine,

Hi Jerzy and Alex

In Jerzy’s case just adding the worms could be why they are in the bottom part of the bin. what type of worm bin are you using? Worm Factory? if so, I have not had worms in this bin, I am guessing that as the worms are wandering around they are ending up in the bottom. I don’t think there is a problem with the bin. I have made a wooden upward flow bin for myself, in the first tray I put down some small screen then add the bedding, food and worms. then if the worms do some wandering they don’t end up in the bottom of the bin.

hope this helps..

Hi Jeff,

Many thanks for all the great advice.

I am having the same problem as Jerzy — a good number of worms seem to be migrating to the bottom try used to catch worm tea. Is this normal, or is this indicative of a problem?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi,
I just started my first worm bin. I just added pound of red wigglers to the bin with shredded moisten newspaper and couple of banana peals in the corner.
After a day passed I looked into the bottom container and it had a lot of worms in it. No water in bottom container, just about 40 worms. I looked and there is bunch in the food and bunch in the dirt they came in. With this speed they will go in couple of days.
Did they just wondered around looking for food or unhappy?

Thanks for advice

Jerzy

Aren’t these cups plastic-coated? How does that work in an organic operation?
