Vermicomposting - adding new bedding to the worm bin

We are back with an update on our office worm bin. Our last video was an introduction to the Red Wiggler worms living at the DUG office helping us compost. 🪱
🌱Kristi, DUG’s Compost Coordinator, shows us how to replenish their bedding:
🪱Use shredded newspaper - avoid shiny paper or white-bleached paper
🪱Add dried shredded leaves
🪱And water
Replenishing the bedding allows the worm to stay protected from unwanted critters, plus keeps a balance between the food we are feeding to avoid funky odors. 😵‍💫
You can learn more about composting with Red Wiggler worms 🪱 at our FREE two-hour Vermicomposting workshops the first Saturday of every month from 9am-11am, at the Gove Compost Training Facility.

Great demo of a quick bin refresh! We're just starting to collect dry leaves that are starting to fall now (we're in a drought) so that I have shredded leaves all year for my worms. We also make leaf mold, which the worms love ❤️❤️
