Tip #1 Make sure the bedding is not too wet.
Remember the bedding should be damp but not wet.
If your bedding is wet, you can try adding more dry bedding to it.
The added dry bedding should absorb the moisture from the wet bedding.
If by some chance, the bedding is to wet it may be wise to change the bedding completely.
Remember the bedding should feel like a wrung out sponge not a wet sponge.
Tip #2 Open the lid to your worm compost, is there too much food in your bin? If there is, you need to remove the excess food or start another worm compost bin.
By having too much food in you worm bin can reduce their air circulation.
Make sure you have been burying and rotating the food.
For example, when placing the food it will be between the layers of bedding.
Rotating their food means exactly that.
If you bury their food in the right corner one week, the next week you would bury it in the left corner.
Tip #3 One of the most important tips I can give you, is air circulation.
Worms need air.
Make sure the bedding is light and airy.
To achieve this all you have to do is gently lift the bedding to create air between the layers.
The bedding should consist of shredded cardboard, newspaper or paper and fall leaves, dead plants or chopped straw along with two handfuls of sand or soil.
Make sure there are plenty of air holes along the top of your worm bin.
Plenty of air holes will allow your worms to breathe.
