Worms Eat My Garbage
I really didn’t know that I could be so darn excited about bugs, worms and the other creatures living in my worm bin. The frozen food method really, really does seem to make things wayyyy better for the worms, and for the other creatures who share the external habitat.
Jeff over at Worms4Earth.com flattered me by asking if he could use some of my tips over on his site. We bought our batch of worms from Jeff and he’s just a real nice fella 
I was ill for a few days this week and didn’t get out to feed the worms. Its not a great way to treat your worms, but the cool part is that with the worms, you are sort of pre-feeding them. The food you put in the worm bin today is not the food they eat today. They are busy working on something older, mushier and smellier that you put in to the bin days ago.
I have been feeding them pretty consistently in a rotated manner, they are never quite “done” with the food from the week before. It’s mostly done, but not all gone. Since I missed for a few days, it looks like the worms have caught up with me. This morning as I was feeding the worms, I notice a really LOW spot in the worm bin. REALLY LOW. It really hit me. The Worms are eating my garbage I know, I already knew they were, but here was visual proof. One end of the bin bedding was 3-4 inches lower than the rest of the bin.
It’s working, EUREKA! Even though I know that it wasn’t getting higher with each feeding, seeing it get lower really struck a chord this morning. If you are looking for tips and hints about setting up and maintaining your worm bin keep checking back.
