Worms Don’t Use Forks or Knives!! How Do They Eat?

If you’ve ever wondered how Red Wiggler Worms eat without forks or knives, here’s the fun answer: they don’t need them! In your worm bin, microbes do all the hard work. These tiny helpers break down food scraps into a soft, nutrient-rich slurry that plants can easily absorb. Thanks to these Mighty Microbes, decomposition happens fast and naturally.

Microbe Worm Bin Dinner Prep Recipe!!

1. Worm Castings

Worm castings form the base of a healthy worm bin. They’re full of nutrients and beneficial microbes that help your Red Wigglers stay active and strong.

2. Food Scraps

Use the right food scraps for happy worms: fruits, vegetables, coffee grounds, and eggshells.
Avoid: citrus, peppers, meat, and dairy.
These can harm your worms or upset the pH balance.

Feed about ½ cup of scraps per pound of worms per day for best results.

3. Boost Ag Lime

Food breakdown can make the bedding acidic. Sprinkle a bit of Boost Ag Lime to control the soil pH. It keeps your worm bin balanced and protects worms from stress.

4. Bacteria and Fungi

These natural decomposers grow quickly and turn food into a smooth, nutrient-rich slurry that worms love. The more active the microbes, the faster your composting process.

5. Mushroom Compost

Want to speed things up? Add Mushroom Compost!
It boosts microbial activity, making it easier for worms to break down food. Your worms will have breakfast and dinner ready every day!

6. Moisture Control

Moisture is key. Food scraps should be damp, not soggy.
Squeeze a handful, only one drop of water should come out.
Red Wigglers breathe through their skin, so the bedding must stay moist but never overly wet.

7. Bloom Blast Ag Lime

Too many food scraps can raise soil pH and cause protein poisoning, which can kill your worms. When adding scraps, lightly sprinkle Bloom Blast Ag Lime. It prevents pH spikes and keeps your worms safe.

In Summary

Feed your Red Wiggler Worms the right mix of organic scraps, maintain balanced moisture, and protect their bedding with Bloom Blast Ag Lime.
Add Mushroom Compost to speed up the process and boost bacteria growth.
No meat, no citrus, and no spicy foods — just pure, natural composting goodness.

Healthy worms mean rich compost, thriving soil, and stronger plants!
