Am I feeding them enough? - 2008/07/15 23:49
Hi,
I'm new. I got my worms in April and got them started in my Can o Worms bin. I read warnings in the literature to underfeed rather than overfeed. Overfeeding I guess can kill them? Maybe I don't feed them enough? I just throw in a few finely cut up veggies about twice a week (about a cup). I keep shredded newspaper on the top, and they eventually eat that. I also spray the surface with water now and then. I thought I would try to harvest the first layer, but I stopped feeding them about 5 days ago, since I read it would clear out the remaining tidbits of food before I tempt them up into the next layer.
It does seem as if there should be more worms? But maybe they are underneath. I dig around with my fingers, but I am afraid of hurting them. I started with 2000 worms in April. How much do you feed and how often?
Maybe I'm too stingy with the food.
