We started off with one box of worms from The Big Shed (Bunnings) and at first they struggled, but a few years on they easily get through it all - I feed them 1 medium sized bowl of food scraps per day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615960162747995029.post-30287352965641802812011-01-15T16:59:07.170+11:002011-01-15T16:59:07.170+11:00I can't do work farms either.

It just freaked me out too much. <br /><br />My compost bin is so more efficient at gobbling up all those food scraps - especially this time of year. And it has the added benefit of being able to put newspaper, grass clippings, etc in too. But worm farms are great if you don't have a lot of space....<br /><br />Anyway, get yourself another bag of worms and I reckon you'll be fine.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432884881847945178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615960162747995029.post-53558152105152796612011-01-10T21:34:08.282+11:002011-01-10T21:34:08.282+11:00Oh, we have problems with out compost.

We've found it's a fine balance.<br /><br />I'm sure that didn't help much, but keep trying. You'll get it right soon. I promise. xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09345662692259541964noreply@blogger.com
