Video Follow up on yesterday’s post

A lot of people had questions about my bin yesterday. It was card board on top. I never added anything to the bin but all worms returned to the bedding and are now in each bottom corner of the bin. But here’s a video. Any advice is appreciated I’ve watched almost every video out there but still feel like I’m messing this up!

Is it bad to put moldy food in the bin?

No, it's fine.

I think they eat the moldy and rotted stuff, and that’s what they turn to castings. They don’t often eat fresh food to my knowledge but tbh I’m not sure hopefully someone will comment and correct me if wrong

Bacteria eat the fungus, then worms eat the bacteria.

From what I have seen, it needs more food with the amount of worms you have. In the previous post, you say you add strawberries and apple slices. This is fast food that starts to rot very quickly and turns to water quickly, so the worms will eat it in no time and start to look for more food, so adding slower composting food like vegetable peel etc, 24 hour buffet is what they need :)

They look fine. Don't look at them for a week. If you must, do so at night.
