How & what we feed the Worms.
A clip inspired by one I saw posted last night by Watsamadoing
( http://www.youtube.com/user/Watsamadoing ) & the fact that I haven't done a worm feeding clip. I have blogged on in it before but clips get more across I think.
Here are some worm posts from the blog including the creation of the large barrel farm, http://bitsouttheback.blogspot.com/search/label/Worms

Worm Farms for Beginning Gardeners
Here is a quick and easy instructional video on how to start a worm farm for beginning gardeners. Why Raise Worms? You can turn food waste into an eco-friendly, economical, organic fertilizer. The worm castings are superior over traditional compost because it includes living organisms like microbes, bacteria, fungi, and protozoans. This is what keeps garden soil alive so plants can thrive. 10 Steps http://homegardeningforbeginners.org/video/worm-farms-beginning-gardeners/

Feeding A Growing Red Wiggler Population
Given the right conditions, red wiggler composting worms can double their population in just 90 days. So, a small initial investment in 1, 000 red wigglers can lead to a pretty large population of worms in no time at all — not to mention a whole lot of castings.
But for most of who raise red wigglers, including me, this rate of population growth can't be sustained for very long. There are a number of factors that can limit population growth, including insufficient food supply, overcrowding, too little or too much moisture, inadequate air flow, too much light, and temperatures that are too hot or too cold.
Today I thought I'd talk about how we respond to one of these limitations — specifically, how we find enough food to keep our worm population growing.
OYR is all about growing a lot of food on a little land using sustainable organic methods, while keeping costs and labor at a minimum. Emphasis is placed on improving soil quality with compost, mulch, and compost tea. No store-bought fertilizers, soil amendments, pesticides, compost activators, etc. are used.

I share some pointers that will help new vermicompost enthusiasts to decide when it is time to harvest their composting worm bin.
