Feed worms small amounts of chopped food scraps and maintain a balance between moist food and dry bedding. Avoid overfeeding and keep the farm shaded during hot weather.

Healthy-worm checklist

  • Add only what the worms can process.
  • Balance wet food with dry carbon-rich material.
  • Keep the bedding damp rather than waterlogged.
  • Avoid meat, dairy and large amounts of acidic food.
  • Check for heat during summer.
