How to Set Up Your Worm Farm
Find the Perfect Spot
Select a location that's shielded from direct sunlight to prevent the worms from overheating. Ideally, this should be an outdoor area, like a balcony or a backyard, situated in a shaded spot or under a tree.
Prepare the Bin
Start by placing some newspaper or cardboard at the bottom of the bin. Then, add the provided coco coir brick as bedding for the worms.
Introduce the Worms
Place the worms on top of the bedding. Beginning with roughly 1000 adult worms is advisable for starting your bin. However, the more worms you start with, the quicker your bin will reach its full capacity.
Begin Adding Scraps
Cover the bedding with about 1 inch of food scraps (finely chopped is preferable). This can include any organic material such as food scraps, manures, paper, and other organic matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Worms are capable of consuming most organic matter. They are not particularly fussy and will process a variety of organic materials.
Contrary to some outdated information, worms can indeed eat meat, dairy, and citrus. Our testing has shown that they actually thrive on these types of food. We recommend adding a variety of materials. Worms, along with bacteria, work together to break down all types of organic matter, so it's beneficial to mix in items like plant matter and cardboard for variety. However, be aware that adding meat and dairy might temporarily cause your worm farm to emit odors.
If your worm farm starts to smell, don't worry; it's normal. This usually indicates that your farm has become anaerobic, meaning the balance of bacteria has been disrupted. To address this, you can:
Increase air circulation: Use a shovel to turn over the castings, improving airflow.
Add more carbon-rich material: Incorporate paper, wood shavings, or cardboard to balance the worm farm and reduce odors.
Cover with soil: Placing a thin layer of soil over decomposing food can control odors while allowing the farm to function effectively and not disturb the worms.
During the first few months, feed your worms once a week. As you notice the worm population growing, you can gradually increase the food quantity. Chopping the food into smaller pieces will also help the worms consume it more quickly.
