WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. MOST ROTTING FOOD SCRAPS WITHOUT ANY BEDDING WILL KILL YOUR WORMS.

Hi Everyone,

5 days later, the worms appear to be fine in the lettuce without any bedding at all. As expected, most of them are hovered in the decomposing portions. It will be interesting to see how mucky their castings come out.

You need to be very careful with the scraps you feed your worms. Lettuce is almost all water, and doesn’t break down into vinegar. Most fruit and vegetables will not react the same way.

I’ll be watching the worms a little closer over the coming days. If the lettuce gets too watery and begins to turn the bin into a bath, I’ll do something to soak up the excess moisture.
