Keeping the worms moist and happy

I was poking through the old worm bin today and the first thing I noticed was how dry it is. About a week ago I added some soggy early stage compost from my Simple Style Composter to help equal out the moisture levels of the worm bin and it worked great. Now I noticed it was dry again already!!

Lesson learned: it’s smart to take a peak at your worm bin more than just once a week. Especially in dry areas such as Colorado your worm bin can get dry very quickly, which will make for some very unhappy worms and a bunch of stuff in your bin not composting.
