Quick Use Guide

Introduce the worms into a prepared worm farm containing moist, well-aerated bedding such as shredded cardboard or coconut coir. Add small quantities of suitable fruit and vegetable scraps, gradually increasing the amount as the worm population becomes established. Keep the bedding consistently moist but never waterlogged, and position the worm farm in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Avoid meat, dairy, oily foods and large quantities of citrus. Protect the worms from extreme temperatures and allow the castings to accumulate before harvesting.
