Today I am adding a worm tray to my Worm Factory 360. The first tray (now the bottom tray) is quite full with a mix of worm castings, food and paper waste and of course Red Wigglers. I’m not so sure I did the layering quite right on the first tray, but despite my inexperience, I think the worms are doing just fine. I’m paying very close attention to the instruction manual that came with the Worm Factory and in the new empty tray, I am adding a layer of food waste, followed by a layer of dead leaves and then damp paper and cardboard. My expectation is that some of the worms will climb up to the new tray and start working on it, while others will stay below until there is nothing left to eat. It will probably take a couple of months before they get all the way through the bottom tray. After that, I’m hoping for one tray per month full of worm castings.
