Hi all, I just rescued about 120g of tiger worms (~500 of these amazing fellows) from a neglected worm farm and set up a nice home for them. We still need about ~560g to reach the 680g target, as we sustainably produce 340g of kitchen waste daily. If

Hi, I have just done a reboot of my Hungry Bin and feel that my worm numbers are a bit low for the amount of veggies we seem to go through but the Garden centre worms are painfully expensive. If anyone is keen to swap a decent amount for some seeds l
I have thousands and thousands of very little white critters in my farm, they are all over the food, the paper and deep into the farm. Anyone know what they are and how to get rid of them? My worm population is not thriving, not doing badly
I have been working for 4 years developing hungry bin, a continuous flow worm farm. It can process 2kg of waste per day and is very simple and easy to use. Have a look at the website and post an
I have had a worm bin for a couple of years now and have drained off what I thought was worm tea from the bottom compartment of my worm bin and fed it to my plants including my vegies. However, I have come across a couple of articles recently which d
My worm farm is in the carport and so is sheltered from rain. I was just wondering how much "wee" would normally be produced. The environment is moist for the worms as in damp sponge level of damp. and I have a some wee in the base but not enough to

Is there anything that can be done with respect to reducing the number of fruit flies that the worm farm appears to have attracted at the moment. The worms are fine and doing the job, it would just make the task of adding stuff to it more pleasant if
does anyone know of any cheap worms in Auckland (central)? I have seen some advertised for anywhere between $30-46 but as I am making my worm farm (so far it has set me back all of $25) I was trying to do it for as little as possible. Thoug
The weather has suddenly gone very hot. Yesterday it was over 33 degrees in the shade in my garden (bit more than the weather forecast was saying) and I noticed in the evening that my can-o-worms (in the garage) has a fermenting sort of smell coming
A few of my worms seem to be crawling the walls and possibly headed out. I am inclined to think that it is because the bedding is too wet. What can I add that will dry the bedding out?
Last week I moved from Auckland to Otaki and thus my worms had to spend a few days travelling in my car. They also had to cope with changing from one bin to another and thus having their home being "upturned". Now after a few days here in Otaki they
Hi All, I discovered a mass of very tiny reddish coloured mites (?) in my farm today! They look like little round, smooth reddish beetles, so tiny, at first glance I thought they were some kind of egg until I noticed them moving. Any ideas what they
As the owner of two dogs, was intrigued to learn that Earl has been using his worms to process dog poop - except after the dogs have been wormed. Much more environmentally sound than bagging and binning it. Have been thinking about alternative means
