Date Night Blend Worm Chow: 1 Gallon Bag

Because worms don't get out much. One gallon bag.

Worm chow is a dry supplemental feed for red wigglers and composting worm bins. It solves one specific problem.

Kitchen scraps are free, and they're the whole reason most people start a worm bin. They're also mostly water, and they vary wildly. Half a melon and a handful of coffee grounds are not the same feeding, but they look like similar amounts of stuff going in.

Chow is dry, it's the same every time, and it measures with a spoon. When your bin does something surprising, food is one variable you don't have to wonder about.

Who it's for

Anybody whose kit bottle ran out, and anybody feeding enough worms that a little bottle is a rounding error.

Six ingredients

Ground oats, non-medicated chick starter/grower crumble, ground alfalfa, ground eggshell and/or oyster shell, brewer's yeast, and Azomite.

That's the whole panel. There's no secret ingredient.

How to use it

Sprinkle lightly over the bedding surface. Don't feed in piles. For a beginner bin, that's one level teaspoon. If you got a starter kit, the scoop in your chow bottle is a teaspoon, so keep it. No scoop comes in the bag. Feed again only when most of the last feeding is gone.

What it won't do

Chow is food, not medicine. A sour, soggy, or slow bin doesn't need a richer feed. It needs less food and more dry bedding. Feed chow to a bin that's doing well, never to one that's struggling.

It also doesn't guarantee more cocoons, bigger worms, or better castings. Bin conditions, temperature, moisture, bedding, and worm maturity all matter more than what you sprinkle on top.
