change ... over a month with nothing ... Anyway, I grabbed for a project and I had no time to see the worms. The good thing is that they do not complain and, while still leaving household waste, will be happy. That's why I like worms, so can not give.
Today I just want to make a short comment about the quality of humus. This is closely related to what the worms eat and how it is given. By "tradition" like me who like worms, there is a tendency to think that the worm compost, either, is the best thing on earth and the thing is that it is not.
Like all good and there is humus humus crappy, there are commercial vermiculture home with their own food formulas to be, relatively accurately, quantities of each nutrient that plants use. He once spent a program about earthworms where it changes their color.
Well, the joke is that when you do all home, know exactly how you will exit the humus is practically impossible. We use many organic wastes no pattern, really is what we want and now. One day you throw them all perfect and other days not giving them anything because they called pizza and ate it all and neither the board left.
The homemade hummus, made with organic waste, has, in my experience, a number of medium to high, depending on food. This is because the worms have a "balanced diet" with a lot of things, so more or less get something decent.
worms in commercial vermicomposting facilities, who spend consuming manure, humus produce excellent, because the composition of what they eat. So far, I've always seen that the humus of commercial facilities is better than home.
Finally, the compost made of pure paper and newspaper, it's pretty crappy, barely above the potting soil. Nor can you ask a lot, poor worms ate pure ink, so they can not get much quality.
This may sound medium to discouragement for you if you want to start a Vermiculture, but the reality is no. The worms are basically to process your trash, so that the humus is almost a gift. Also, if you eat well, you might have a quality humus. The only one I've seen that really is bad is the newspaper pure humus, but hopefully you're not thinking about them just that. Feed them well and
surely have very good results.
