But are you ready for them?

Got the right bin? The right bedding? Nope, you can't just throw them in a bucket with some soil, leaves and table scraps and wish them well. Well, you CAN but you will waste your money 'cause the worms will likely die.

Here are some steps to prepare for your worm arrival and to ensure success.

Bin Basics

It needs to be opaque (not clear) It needs air holes It needs to be size appropriate for your order (1 square foot of space per pound of worms) To learn more about wormbins follow this link.

Bedding Basics:

Use a starter bedding of EITHER coconut coir or peatmoss with some crushed eggs shells. NO paper/cardboard/leaves as starter bedding unless you plan on NOT feeding your bin scraps for 6-8 weeks while they work through the coarse materials.

Read the Step By Step Guide for days 1-90 with your bin/worms. Print it off and keep it handy. Also, read this very important article:
