Here is why your compost worms may not need all that food you're feeding them! New worm bins are especially susceptible to overfeeding! So let's find out how & what they eat to keep them producing natural organic fertilizer for your garden in the form of worm castings!!

This new bin is 21 days old & receiving it's 3rd feeding but only because they have eaten all their other food. We feed some more slow & fast food and I show you why coffee grounds really aren't a form of grit for your compost worms. There are 500 red wigglers in my Tiny Worm Bin...I'll show you what they look like and how to run your bins, so join me as I get up close and personal with my compost worm bin!!
