Just thought I would let you know how the worms adjusted to being feed dog poo instead of kitchen scraps!
At first they were a little hesitant, who could blame them right?! And I think the worm numbers dropped a bit. But now they are happily munching away. They are still building up the volume that they consume, so I still need to dispose of some poo in the rubbish bin but this is steadily decreasing. Apparently, the worm farm should be able to handle the output from two medium sized dogs. As I only have one small to medium sized dog I should be able to process all my dog’s waste.
Another interesting fact I learnt was not to feed them the dog poo just after they had been given any worm treatment as it will kill the worms in the farm. So, as I worm my dog once a month, I usually don’t put any poo into the worm farm for at least 2 to 3 days afterwards. The worms are still alive and kicking so I figure that time frame is fine. It does depend on the strength of the medication you are giving your dog and I was advised to check with my vet as to how long I should wait after medicating the dog.
All in all I am happy with the result.
