Yep, that’s correct!

How you feed is up to you. I think it can be “easier” to concentrate the food in particular spots – that way you can monitor more easily how the worms are doing with it. Just don’t put too much in any one spot since there will be more likelihood of it becoming foul.

Thanks for your response!

So #1, loosen occasionally, don’t stir. That helps a lot. And #2, either add the Carbons with the food scraps, or have enough Carbons in the bin that it amounts to the same thing. Is that right?

Finally, sorry for my crazy detail compulsion but…should I spread the food scraps in a thin layer over the entire tray or dump it in one section at a time?

Thanks for your help. This site is an incredible resource!!!

I mixed my worm factory 360 about once a month. I’m not sure if it helped at all, but it did allow me to check on the contents of the bin. I tend to be hands on a little to much. Thats what I like about my Worm Inn; I can did around the top to see whats going on, but its to deep to stir the bottom.
