my bad ment to spell tubs
how many do you use could you discribe how yours works.
also r u growing blue widow? i got 1 as a free seed from attitude how far on you with it?
If you use a lot of soil, you could do with 2 wormbins - one you add vegetable scraps to, and one you remove VC (Wormcastings) from.
I only have one, and do alternating sides - feed in one side, and dig out processed VC in the other side, works pretty well.
I just feed my worms plant material and scraps from the kitchen, but i've seen videos of the big timers using peatmoss, manure and some lime to take the edge off the peatmoss. Let that sit with the worms munching through it for a month or two, and presto - pretty decent soil.
As for bedding, most moist organic materials will do - Straw, paper, cardboard, coco coir, peat, rootballs. Just make sure it can "breathe" (an anarobic bin smells like death and cancer)
as for breeding: Under optimal conditions, worms can double their number in 90 days and you'll prolly find loads of coocons (i spend most time seperating those >.<) They automagically adjust their breeding to their population, so they'll stop doing the naughty when they reach a certain density (measured in surface area, not volume)
They can eat over half their own weight in food a day, but settling into a new bin they start out slow, and so should feeding - you wont want a smelly bin, but one that smells like fresh dirt. Don't worry about not feeding them, they'll just eat the bedding
