Earthworms will dig deep into the worm bed and will take 1 week or more to
get used to it “new home”.
Check the collection tray regularly for worms. Put them back to worm bed tray
if they climb out. If worms climb out very often, it could be overfeeding
problem.
Be patience, try not to overfeed initially.

Add another tray up when existing tray has about 3/4 full of worms.
Steps to add additional tray:
1. Remove the food waste on top of existing tray.
2. Place food waste at 4 corner of the new tray.
3. Use wet newspaper to cover the food waste.
4. Put the cover on.
5. Always put food waste on the highest tray.
NOTE: Make sure trays are not block so that worms can climb up for food.
** Worms will climb up the tray for food **
(H) Collection of worm compost / worm tea
(1) Worm Tea
Collect from tap. Once a week. Maybe more if worms are fed with vegetables.
(2) Worm compost
Always collect from the lowest tray as worms will be at the highest tray.
It’s time to collect compost when the tray does not have worms and the worm
bed touches like soil. If there are some worms in the lowest tray, remove the
tray and place it on top. DO NOT PUT COVER BACK.
Worms will climb down to the tray below because itafraid of light. Thereafter
you can collect worm compost easily.
