Common Worm Bin Challenges: Part 1

Worms are likely to grow and get you great fertilisers in a bin that is healthy for them

How to counter worm without investing much effort.

I’ve got a stinky binA common problem most would encounter especially when they give it a start, worm bin may smell too bad because of many reasons. Chances are you are putting enough of wrong ingredients like garlic and onion. Always add the right product in thoughtful quantity. The rest reasons for a stinky bin could be it has excess moisture and not proper oxygen. Add fresh bed and mix the content thoroughly to counter it. Also, never use any dairy, oil rich products. Take steps as you smell the problem since ignoring the smell will only attract pests and make the environment unsafe for your worms.

My worms are escaping their bin

This may be due to three main reasons. May be your bin is too dry, too wet or you have included any material that the worms are not happy with. Do not add much citrus fruits since it may be a reason for their uneasiness. Given the bin is dry, use a spray bottle to moisten or when you find the bin is too wet, shred up some fresh newspaper and mix it.

Fruit flies are disturbing me more than everFruit flies will come to the bin because they love the fruit scrap you put there, they lay eggs on the skin and other areas of fruits as well as vegetables. To discourage their arrival, put the fruit scraps after washing them; do not add any decaying food, cut these into small items and don’t feed the worms excess foods. Absence of already faded fruits will limit of the possibility of any fly larvae getting into the bin, cutting the scraps into smaller pieces will help the worms eat these quickly thereby making no room for insects to feed or breed on while placing adequate amount of food will reduce the chance of any waste hence flies won’t get anything significant to tour the bin.
