So you decided to use a square worm-bin (meaning anything not round, could be long .... you know what I mean) for your Red Wigglers Eisenia Fetida.
The formula for calculating the surface area of your worm-bin:
- Measure the width and length of your potential worm-bin. Lets assume it is 50cm x 100cm.
- Multiply the measurements. (50 x 100 = 5 000)
- The result will be 5 000 cm2
- Allow approximately 500g worms per 1 000 cm2 or 1 pound for 1 square feet
- In this case optimal stocking levels for Eisenia Fetida will be 2.5 kg.
- Your Red Wigglers can double every 3 months.
- Order 500g Red Wigglers and given the right conditions, you may achieve optimal stocking levels of Eisenia Fetida within 6 months.
