How many compost worms do I need?
The appropriate starting population depends on the size of your composter and the amount of organic waste you produce.
A smaller starting population is sufficient for smaller worm bins. In larger composters, a larger population ensures that organic material can be processed more quickly.
Important: Start with small amounts of feed and only increase them as the worm population grows.

Compost worms for worm bins and worm composters
Compost worms prefer to live in the upper, organic-rich layers of soil, making them perfect for worm bins and worm composters.
Together with microorganisms, they gradually transform kitchen and plant scraps into valuable worm castings.
Examples of suitable materials include vegetable and fruit scraps, coffee grounds, plant remains, and unprinted cardboard.
A good mix of moist organic waste and structural material supports an airy and aerobic environment.
Compost worms for gardens and raised beds
Compost worms can also be used in the garden, raised bed, or compost pile, provided there is enough organic material, moisture, and suitable temperatures.
They support the decomposition of organic matter and contribute to natural humus formation.
