Controlling moisture is key to running a productive worm bin. Learn when to use plastic in a new worm bin so it's not too dry or too wet!! If you get the moisture right, your compost worms will be turning your food scraps & shredded cardboard into natural organic fertilizer & soil amendments in the form of castings for your garden in no time!!
