Feeding the Worms
Monday, September 22nd, 2008The worm farm has been operational for a couple of months, and the worms are busily breeding - and eating more and more - inside. I’ve found that they prefer softer food scraps like tomatoes or strawberries, and large scraps like potato peelings take a long time to be eaten (and the skin is still left at the end).
Smaller is also better. Blending all the different food scraps into a vegetable smoothie works well, but makes quite a wet mix. The best worm food so far is fruit and vegetable pulp from a juicer; it’s in tiny pieces and not as wet as the blended scraps.
