Do the worms ever ecape?
Unfortunately there are occasions when the worms try to leave the comforts of their new home. But don’t worry, this is rare and can be avoided from the very beginning by remembering a couple things. Occasionally when worms are first added to their new bin they have trouble settling in. For the first week, leave a light shining on the bin, even at night. The worms do not like light and will avoid it. Within the week the worms should settle into their new surroundings. Then caring for the worms on a regular basis should help them to stay healthy and hungry and settled in. It has been brought to my attention recently that during storms, worms often rise to the surface of the bin. Keeping your roof securely in place with a binder clip or Velcro may reassure you that the worms are staying put.
