2饲喂您的虫子
将小量的食物残渣放在蠕虫农场的顶部。随着蠕虫农场的发展可以放入更多的食物并轮换托盘。
Assemble your Subpod
Pick your patch
Assemble your Subpod first, to size it up before picking a patch or digging a hole. This video shows assembling the walls, lid, and in the Subpod Classic, the internal divider. Follow it carefully to protect your hinges and ensure proper joins.
Subpods work best in raised beds, but can go in the ground too. Choose a spot that won’t flood or bake in the sun, has at least 40cm soil depth, and ideally is a convenient distance to your kitchen and surrounded by your hungriest plants.
For a shared system to work smoothly, start with one farm per participating unit, remembering to start small at first to gain buy-in. Consider allocating unit numbers to the farms so people know which one to use and ensure you display clear signage of what can and cannot go into the farms.
Ensure worm juice containers are safely stored when full. Aesthetics are important and it’s up to you to set the expectations from the start that the worm farm area is well maintained and attractive for its users.
You can also encourage your fellow residents to set up a worm farm on their balcony, laundry or garage. By co-ordinating these separate installations you will be achieving a similar result and engaging the community just the same. Consider doing both and that might result in the best outcome.
小窍门
- 切成小块的食物虫子吃的更快。所以避免给它们整个的水果或蔬菜。
- 在加入食物之前您不用等它们把旧的食物全部吃完，但是如果食物不像被吃过就不要加更多。吃过的食物会看起来颜色较深并且变小了。
- 保持蠕虫湿润并预防苍蝇，用湿润的东西例如蠕虫毯、干净的旧布、湿报纸或麻布袋把顶层托盘盖起来。
- 在花园里清洗食物残渣的容器并将水倒进蠕虫农场或植物上，这样就不会浪费水。
您知道吗？
如果您去度假，你的虫子可以一个月不喂食或只需给它们一些湿的报纸。确保它们是位于阴凉避雨的地方。如果您夏天去度假，可以把它放到浴室里。
