The worms MENU

The basics :

Always bring brown cardboard, egg carton, paper towel rolls and toilet paper, paper … with your waste. This represents an important volume …
It will tear this paper / card into small pieces.
At least the same volume of cardboard / paper as waste.
The more cardboard, the better! (there is never too much cardboard)

The waste must be cut into small pieces for easy composting, otherwise they may not degrade properly and could ferment what is harmful to the worms.

To regulate the acidity of the environment, put crushed eggshells (with a mortar or a mixer for example), or else, there are limed mixtures sold especially for that.

fruit and vegetables (peelings or leftovers), raw or cooked,
coffee grounds and filters,

crushed shells,
flour (in small quantity),
bread, pasta, rice, biscuits (in small quantity),
