VERMICOMPOSTING TOWER

Feed your worms a small amount of food for the first feeding, both to give them a chance to adapt and to allow you to assess how much they can eat in a day (generally about ½ lb. of food per pound of worms per day).

When the bin of worms and castings has nearly reached the marked-off “full” level, give them one more hearty feeding reaching right up to that “full” level. Add the third bin, again nesting it so that it fits snugly, but not tightly, into the other. Add fresh bedding and food to the new bin.

Continue feeding in the new bin until all your worms have migrated up; it should take about a week or so.

When needed, you can harvest the castings in the second tier by taking apart the tower and removing the castingsfilled container, then reassembling it with the current worm-filled bin acting as the second tier above the drainage bin. Or continue feeding until you are up to the fourth (and last) tier, then harvest two bins of castings. Any liquid captured in the drainage base container can also be used as a fertilizer for plants! Repeat this process as needed.

Your little wormy friends aren’t really very picky eaters; however, you will soon learn what they really like eating as they gobble those choice foods down first. That said, there are some things your worms definitely cannot eat because those things will kill them.

In general, worms cannot digest fats, meats, and dairy. Salt and acids are also very bad for them. Synthetics and chemicals are obvious no-no’s. But worms can break down natural fabrics like cotton, coffee grounds, rinsed and broken-up eggshells, and paper.
