the worms will/might escape as you have gaps between the boxes.

Worm bins aren't prisons, and if you were a hungry worm, would you want to escape or would you want to head to where the food was?

Kenkew, how does a worm bin work then?  Being new to this growing lark, I've never heard of one.  ???

Rather than sit for an hour typing, do a search. It's been on here quite a few times todate.

Hi Hopeful
had my worm farm for a couple of years now - works really well the thing is they love carrot peeling the most !!!

just remember they have to suck their food so make sure that everything is cut small !!!

Good Luck  ;D

I find woodchip the best material for breeding, the paths on the lottie are full of them
