What do I feed the worms?

To provide optimal nutrition for your worms, a balanced diet is crucial. At Uncle Jim's Worm Farm, we recommend feeding your worms a combination of organic waste materials. These include fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, tea bags, bread, grains, crushed eggshells, and leafy greens. Avoid feeding them meat, dairy products, oily foods, and citrus fruits as they can attract pests and be harmful to the worms. Chop the food into smaller pieces for easier consumption and faster decomposition. Be mindful of the quantity you feed, ensuring it matches the worm population, to prevent overfeeding. Remember to bury the food beneath the bedding to maintain proper moisture, aeration, and hygiene. With this nutritious and well-balanced diet, your worms will thrive and contribute to the success of your vermicomposting journey.
