Wormbox

What is bad for your wormbox ecosystem

Don't feed your worms too much. If your compost bin starts to smell, it could be because you are feeding your worms more than they can process. When this happens, the bedding can also heat up, killing off the worms. Don't feed your worms any combination of the following, these foods are difficult for the worms to digest:

• Excessive citrus — no more than 1/5 of the total worm food
• Meats or fish (Flies are quickly into this, but not worms)
• Fats or excessively oily scraps
• Dairy products (eggshells are fine)
• Cat or dog feces
• Twigs and branches
