A group for people who use the Wriggly Wranch (and others stackable tray) worm bin to talk about / share experiences.
I figured there might be enough intricacies specific to the Wriggly Wranch (and every other model of worm bin) to warrant a group
That's what they did is concentrate on the food. It just freaked me out a little bit!
My mites seem to migrate to whatever new food I place in the bin. They will concentrate on the food for a while and then move on. You don't necessarily need to concentrate on getting rid of them. They don't seem to bother the worms and as long as th…
Thanks for the education Brent
It may not be too moist. Mites will be everywhere if it's to wet.
I looked and there isn't any water in the bottom bin that is supposed to catch any excess water. I poked around and they didn't jump, so I guess they are mites. They probably aren't all over the bin because the bin is only about two weeks old. I'll…
Hey Randy,
White things in the worm-bin are usually one of two things. It's harder to say without a photo- then again they are probably so tiny it would be hard to get a good photo.
It is rather likely that they are springtails. I would think that…
I am curious what are these?
Dry or fresh? I imagine that dried ones, shredded up somewhat, would make for nice bedding. They'd take a while to break down, but so do paper/cardboard. Actually, the same may be true of fresh ones, too, I would just be worried that they might heat…
A group for indoor vermicomposters. People who keep their worm bins in their apartment or home rather than in their garden, garage or shed.
I don't want anything that takes a long time to break down, I have an indoor tub type bin. Thx, it's good to know that they take a long time to break down.
Corn Husks take forever to break down. So if you want to put them in chop them up very fine and they will disapear. Otherwise you will be throwing scraps of it into the next time you harvest and set up another bin.
Yes, that is another benefit to freezing. Good Luck - I bet it will work just fine.
Thx Sara, I also read freezing fruit matter can also kill fruit fly larva that may be in the skins.
Randy, I think if you chopped, blended or froze them first (personally I'd go with freezing) the worms would eat them without any problem. They are organic plant matter that would completely break down given natural circumstances so I think you'll b…
