Another layer of bedding, watered. This helps keep the fruit flies from breeding, as they need light with their fruit.

This is how you feed your worms – add a layer of garbage (or a smaller patch in a corner), cover with bedding (or move the existing bedding around), make sure it’s moist, you’re done.

Question by Ashley A: How do I apply worm castings in my gardens?
I have a vegetable garden and a garden with lush foliage (elephant ears, ferns, umbrella plants, purple jew, and other lush ground-cover). I will have worm castings in about a month and I’m curious as to how I need to apply the castings. Do I just throw it onto the surface of the dirt in the garden bed? Do I have to dig holes and bury the castings? What’s the best way to use them?
