What do I feed my compost worms?
Here's a list of foods that my worms love:
bananas
apples
grapes
pineapple
melons of all kinds
cucumbers
carrots
potatoes
lettuce.......so basically all fruits and vegetables, raw or cooked. It's fine to feed them the strawberries that you put sugar on, but do not feed them any vegetables to which you added salt or butter. Salt and fat=Bad.
In addition, your worms will eat:
coffee
coffee filters
tea bags
egg shell (rinse them out first)
bread
pancakes (no butter)
Here's the list of things to put in the garbage can, not the worm bin:
Meat
Oil
Butter
Salted foods
Dairy product
bones
hot peppers
Here's the list of things to add sparingly:
onions
oranges
lemons
grapefruit
limes
So while we like sweet, salty and fatty foods, Red Wigglers only like sweet things and plain things. Got it?
