I have a worm tower with trays and my older tray is mostly castings very few bedding left. I added another tray and added food to the new tray thinking the worms would migrate up. Most of them have migrated up to feed which is great but it seems like there are still a good number of worms in the older tray. It is mostly castings and quite moist and i think they may be breeding there. I have only seen one cocoon but ive seen many juvenile worms when i fluff it up. My question is do i leave that tray alone and the worms will just all migrate up when they are done breeding? I fluff it once a week to keep it aerated. I have stopped adding any food to this tray because i want to collect the castings but the worms wont leave it. Any advice is welcome and thank you!

Here’s how to use worm castings on your plants! This is originally why I got into worm farming in the first place. Worm castings are one of my favorite soil amendments for both indoor and outdoor plants. They provide a gentle nutrient boost while helping feed the soil food web. The beneficial microbes in worm castings help make nutrients more available for your plants over time. I like to top dress my houseplants about once a month and water them in. 😊

Anyone free to break in the hangout? I'll jump on! Yes, I mean this morning. :)

Got this orchid for my mother on mother's day 2 years before she passed away. She cared for it those years and now this is my 3rd summer with it. I haven't repotted it or fertilized it in any way over its 5 years. I give each plant(theyre in separate little pots) 3 small ice cubes every 4-5 days. It blooms for about 7 months from start to finish. I feel like it prolly needs a new pot and fresh soil but I've never fooled with orchids and it has done so well I dont wanna screw it up. Does anyone have experience raising orchids and can help?

Join the Worm Farm Hangout here: 🔗 https://www.skool.com/live/zRBSzM3JjlB Our friend @Rick Redding had a great idea for creating a community hangout room, so I thought I'd give it a try starting July 1. This is a place for anyone in the community to hop on, chat, ask questions, share what you're working on, or just get to know other worm farmers. Whether you're brand new or have been worm farming for years, everyone is welcome. I'll jump in from time to time when I can, but this space is really for all of us to connect and learn from each other.
