Feeding Your Worms
In order to produce the wonderfully rich worm cast and
equally as palatable (for the garden of course) liquid residue,
you’ll need to feed your worms well. Fortunately
they’re not too fussy and will happily munch through similar
food to ourselves, but there are some dishes that worms will turn
their noses up at.
Here’s an idea of what to feed them…
Worm Menu
I’d like…
Vegetables and peelings,Fruit and peelings (but go easy on citrus),
Tea bags and coffee, Bread (including pizza), Rice, Pasta, Cereals,
Crushed egg shells (they must be crushed), Cakes and biscuits,
Sugar, Cheese and Baked Beans
I’d also like (but we
wouldn’t!)…
Cardboard and paper
Contents of the hoover bag
Leaves (but not too many)
I’ll pass on…
Meat, Bones, Perennial weeds, Weed seeds, Diseased plant material
and poisonous plants, Garlic, Spicy foods, Onion skins, Eggs, Dairy
Products, Salt, and Oils, Bon appetite!
