My worms are trying to escape, what is going on?

0

Worms only try to escape if they are uncomfortable in the bin, usually meaning that the bin is either too hot or too wet. Worm bins can become too wet, from either adding too much food or adding too many juicy foods at the same time (i.e. water melon or frozen food). If your bin is too wet, you want to mix in some new dry newspaper strips to soak up that extra water. If you freeze your food scraps before adding them, you will probably want to always add some dry newspaper when feeding the worms. There should never be any standing water at the bottom of your bin.
