How much water do the worms need?
Since worms get oxygen from water through their skin, it is important to monitor moisture conditions. If it’s too dry, the worms can’t breathe. If it’s too wet, they drown. A good measure of moisture that most worm farmers use is to take a handful of the bedding and squeeze it. If droplets of water squeeze out between your knuckles, the moisture is just right. No droplets, too dry. Streams of water, too wet.
