Maintaining Your Worm Bin

Add fresh bedding every 1-3 months. 
Always keep a one-inch layer of fresh bedding over the worms and food in your bin.  Shredded newspaper works great!

Keep bedding as moist as a wrung out sponge.  In a plastic bin, add dry bedding to absorb excess moisture.  You may need to sprinkle the contents of wooden bins to moisten them occasionally.
