I'll keep a look out for that one!

What could be going wrong for me to have these things in there? I think they have crawled up the legs of the worm farm (the rectangle one from bunnings). Any ideas? Thanks for the idea of tap on with bucket under tap as I have noticed worms in the worm wee at different times. Also does it matter what type of soil you chuck in, and how often would you do this? Haven't had this for long so look forward to your suggestions. Soil? You shouldn't really be putting any soil in the worm farm. You can put anything in that is organic and is dead, worms won't eat living things. As mentioned by Fu previously you can chuck meat in , however meat can attract flies and be a bit smelly. If I were you I would stick to shredded up wet paper or cardboard, vege/fruit scraps, crushed up egg shells, tea bags, coffee grounds and even a small amout of lawn clippings. It's all about variety. And remember not to load them up with too much as they will only eat as much as the population can handle, if you only have a 1000 worms and your putting scraps in everyday they might struggle. As for the slugs, I'm thinking there is a hole in there somewhere or they have go in as a passenger on some vege scraps? Not sure that they are a problem, better to be in the worm farm than killing your plants. The only problem I've had is with ants, but got around this by keeping the farm moist at all times and buy putting the legs of the farm in ice cream containers full of water. Re: Worm Wee - Lawns 31Nov 05, 2010 5:02 pm oohsam oh also, I too have hundreds, upon thousands of those small white worms in my worm farm, also in my compost bin. i thought they were baby worms... Some times they are but more often than not you are looking at something different. Re: Worm Wee - Lawns 32Nov 05, 2010 5:06 pm If ants get in you can just keep agitating the castings and food every day or twice a day. They will get annoyed and move town. Just use some thing like a garden stake or a hanging basket hook to do it Vaseline on the legs also is another thing you can do ... You can put some on the legs of the worm farm too if you want |
