What to Feed Your Red Wiggler Worms?
In general, Red Wiggler Worms will consume anything that was once living material.  This includes:
  • Fruit, left over vegetable scraps and peelings;
  • Coffee grounds, tea leaves and tea bags;
  • Vacuum cleaner dust;
  • Hair clippings (people and animals);
  • Manures (well aged);
  • Shredded paper such as newspaper and office paper (soak first); and
  • Crushed egg shells.
The greater the variety of material used, the better the casting (compost) will be.
