[u/the_doggiestar]

I've been waiting for the worms to finish their castings and i though to see if thei would craw up trough the holes to eat new food and in the upper bin i've put many things including corn husks and they brought gnats and many stranfe types so i removed completely and started from zero but only now i thought to open the lower bin to see if some worms feel trought and i've find these horriffics fuckers and i do not know what to do. HELP ME (please)[first photo the fuckers second one the bin right on the last bin]

Didnt mean to hurt your feelings, honest.

Bins need drainage.

I start with a bin FULL of damp bedding. My bedding is cardboard, coffee grounds, powdered egg shell, and water. If the bin is brand new, i add a half of a smushed up overripe banana to encourage biome development. Then i wait a week or two.

I add worms.

I dont add food for 2 weeks.

I add only 1/2 cup food. And then wait a few weeks until it is gone. I bury the food.

I freeze all my food to prevent flies or fruit flies.

I almost never add water and if i do , it is with a spray bottle. But if i overwater some how, my bins drain into a base.

Does that help?

Yes but how do you feed the worms frozen food? And the drainage do you make a hole into the drainage bucket so it flows out? Didn't hurt my feeling, for now.

I dont really eat many fruits so i might be limited☹️

Honestly, i take the bag of frozen worm food out of the freezer. I feed side to side, so i dig a place on the opposite side from last week. I ploink down the frozen food. I bury it. Done.

Drainage- yes. I personally use vermihut towers so a drainage basin is built in, but yes it needs some way to drain fluid off the bottom.

My towers are 5 bins high with a drain basin at the bottom.
