Common Issues with Worm Farms

It is completely natural for issues to arise from time to time on a worm farm. The best way to handle them is to stay on top of them, by monitoring them as they occur. This chapter will discuss some of the most common issues you may notice with your worms, and how to handle them.

If Your Soil Is Acidic

If the acid balance within your worm farm gets imbalanced, you will find a lot of suffering amongst your worms. To regulate acid levels, add water and lime to reduce or more food scraps to increase levels.

Bugs

Insects, pests, irritants, they go by many names – but if you find them in your worm farm you are having a problem.

How You Know When You Have Bugs

You will know you have bugs when you start to notice them inside the container. Pay attention to what type of bug you are seeing (small fly, big fly, ants, etc.), as this will come in handy when determining your course of action later.

Ways to Prevent Bugs

Ensuring you close your container lid properly

Feed carefully, ensuring you are not over feeding or drying out the soil inadvertently

Monitoring the moisture levels of your worm farm
