Raising worms

Raising Euro nightcrawlers and Red worms is very simple. All you need is a bin you can make one or buy a plastic storage container or you can buy one. We have the best, it is made buy Guasinato and the have been making bins for years. If you are going to make your own either plastic or wood you will have to drill some holes for air. Drill a hole as close to the bottom as you can for drainage of the worm tea. Or you can drill a couple of drain holes in the bottom and raise your bin over another container so it drains. Whichever it has to drain. Then add about 6"-8" of bedding. The bedding can be shreded newspaper, saw dust, shreded cardboard and peat moss. You can also buy a bedding, its called coir brick. We sell this also. This bin should be minium of 16"x 18" x 8" deep. I would suggest if your going to start. Start with a bin of this size and about 200 worms. See if you like it. You can always buy more worms. The amount of worms depends on how much garbage you have. Remember dont feed to much, if you get a smell stop feeding for awhile.
