Would it be ok to put dry stuff including leaves in the bottom of a new bin and transfer it all to a new home? And how can a person keep the little ones from escaping around the rim of the bed.

Another way to feed them along with top feeding is to bury some vegetable scraps along with damp shredded cardboard. You will find they do well in composting too! Bruce Bill

See if they still have food leftover and if so, allow them to sit longer. The larger the worms grow before handling the easier the job! Bruce Bill

You could try mixing with some dry shredded newspaper and or Sphagnum peat moss to help dry the bottom of the worm bin. Also be sure their is enough ventilation in the worm bin itself. What type of worm bin are you using for your setup? Bruce Vicki

The top of the bin is a comfortably moist area, the deeper I dig the wetter it becomes if I take a handful of the wet stuff out it turns very hard and is difficult to use. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix the problem, Thanks I have a question on the wettness of my bin.
