4. How to counter worm without investing
much effort.

5. I’ve got a stinky bin
A common problem most would encounter
especially when they give it a start, worm bin may
smell too bad because of many reasons. Chances
are you are putting enough of wrong ingredients
like garlic and onion. Always add the right
product in thoughtful quantity. The rest reasons
for a stinky bin could be it has excess moisture
and not proper oxygen. Add fresh bed and mix
the content thoroughly to counter it. Also, never
use any dairy, oil rich products. Take steps as you
smell the problem since ignoring the smell will
only attract pests and make the environment
unsafe for your worms.

6. My worms are escaping their bin
This may be due to three main reasons. May
be your bin is too dry, too wet or you have
included any material that the worms are not
happy with. Do not add much citrus fruits
since it may be a reason for their uneasiness.
Given the bin is dry, use a spray bottle to
moisten or when you find the bin is too wet,
shred up some fresh newspaper and mix it.

7. Fruit flies are disturbing me more
than ever
Fruit flies will come to the bin because they love the fruit
scrap you put there, they lay eggs on the skin and other
areas of fruits as well as vegetables. To discourage their
arrival, put the fruit scraps after washing them; do not
add any decaying food, cut these into small items and
don’t feed the worms excess foods. Absence of already
faded fruits will limit of the possibility of any fly larvae
getting into the bin, cutting the scraps into smaller
pieces will help the worms eat these quickly thereby
making no room for insects to feed or breed on while
placing adequate amount of food will reduce the chance
of any waste hence flies won’t get anything significant to
tour the bin.
