Worm composters, also known as worm bins or vermicomposters, produce a liquid known as worm tea or leachate.
Sometimes some of your worms migrate to the sump which is mostly more distressing for you than them to be honest.
Your moisture mat is just there to encourage your worms to work in the surface of the waste and as it is biodegradable the worms will eventually eat it.
Do not put intensely spicy foods into your worm composter, such as ginger or an excessive amount of citruses, as well as milk products, meat products, bones, oils, lard and other fats.
Creating quality composts takes approximately 2-3 months.
This is not needed.
The amount of food that worms can eat depends on the size of your worm bin and the number of worms you have. As a general rule, worms can consume about half their body weight in food per day.
Normal earthworms, also known as "garden worms" or "lob worms," are not typically suitable for composting.
