I’m not sure what is going on with my worm farm. I have four tiers. The worms look like they are increasing in numbers. I chop up the food. I was advised to put damp paper before the matting. I’ve had it over 12 months now. I don’t seem to get a lot of castings or worm wee??
Sounds like your worms are thriving in terms of numbers, which is great! Sometimes the production of castings and worm liquid can be influenced by a few things: moisture balance, the type of food scraps (make sure to mix greens and browns), and even airflow in the tiers. Also, rotating the trays regularly can help encourage the worms to process food more thoroughly. You might also want to check the moisture level - if it’s too wet or dry, it can slow down the production. Hope that helps! ^Cam
I didn’t buy worms, I simply took a big series of handfuls of tiger worms from an already established compost. A local compost already established will have plenty to share/start a farm with. I get a lot of tea out of mine now and the worms are very busy.
Hi Mason, keep an eye on the top container, and when you see that the worms have burrowed down to bottom this is when you add a new container. Before you add the next container prepare it with another coir peat brick just like you did in the beginning. Lift the old container out, put in the new one, and place the old container on top. Add a layer of food only to the new bottom layer, and the worms will essentially move house from top to bottom to get to the food. You can then harvest the top layer. 😃
You'll need to check with your local store as there are a few different kinds of worm farm available. They'll be able to let you know if they've got what you're after

Mitre 10 New Zealand thanks! Where do you buy the new containers from? Do you sell separate containers? Much appreciated
