WORM FARM QUESTION.
Posted: Sun Jul 29, 2012 1:28 pm
I purchased my first worm farm yesterday incl 1000 worms. (its a square black plastic one)
When I set up the worm farm I realise it had 4 trays that the worms go in and only one collecter tray,
The instructions said that the other trays are as spares and to only use one FEEDING (HOME) tray and have the collector on the bottom..
Thing is, the worms came with LOTS of wet newspaper and and all moist clumped organic stuff, and when I put all of it in the tray, they had PLENTY of depth to bury, which I told was not good cos the need to stay close to the surface where all the food is.
So what I did was I put half into another tray and put it on the other tray (they still have surface room) but that means the castings from the top one will go into the second one and only the second one will drop castings into the collecting tray...
What should I do? Is it ok as it is or should I put it all back into one tray and let them eat away most of the stuff they came in??
