the bedding with a sheet of damp newspaper. Worms will quickly disappear
under the worm bed.
Note: The worms may become stressed during the shipping process. Overall,
worms may take a week or so to adapt to their new home. They may try to
escape from the worm bin(even when you harvest or move worms to a new tray,
they may try to escape). In the first couple of days after worms' arrival, it is
suggested not to use the lid to cover the bin, but to use the V-Board to cover the
bin during the daytime. At night, leaving a light on near the top of the bin so that the
worms are encouraged to burrow into their new home. The V-Board is a part,
which comes only with the VermiHut plus. The classic VermiHut does not come
with the V-Board. The V-Board can be found inside the lid and can be easily
removed out, and put back after use.
If you see the worms on the M-Board(or the drain cloth) , you may pick them up
and put them back in the worm bin.
Worm Food Additions
We suggest adding worm foods after the worms arrive. Bury one handful of food
scraps at a corner of the worm bedding,leaving most of the tray area open for
airflow. Cutting the worm foods into small pieces is strongly suggested for
quicker composting. It is always recommended to cover the top of the bedding
with a sheet of damp newspaper to keep the bedding moist.
For more information on worm food addition,please refer to the Section of System
Operation.
A common mistake for beginner is to over-feed the worms. You have to be
patient and allow a few days f or the worms to become acclimatized to the worm
bin,and for the micro-organisms,which are also a vital part of worm composting,to
populate the bin. Do not expect to see the food disappear be for re your eyes.
