It's time to give your worms something to eat, ain't it? Well, it might not be...matter of fact, it probably isn't. Most everybody, especially brand new wormers, overdoes it on food (thus moisture) because they just can't help themselves.
Feed the bin at the same rate the bin eats the food. If you put food in on Monday and today's Thursday and food remains from Monday, don't feed until it's gone. I will say that over and over because it is crucial for avoiding problems in the bin.
Assuming your bin is a plastic tote with newpaper bedding, the best way to feed and adhere to what the previous paragraph says is to spot feed. Each time, pull back the newpaper from the previous feeding site to make sure all that food is gone. In another location, pull back the paper, dump about a cup of foodstock, and replace the paper.
Many people are not ashamed to mark the spot so they can remember where the damned spot is. My marker is a plastic coke top.
I'll give everyone a chance now to disobey these suggestions, develop a bin problem, and come back here a believer and ready to do the right thing.
Next: How to clean up that bin mess you've created.
