I started a worm bin about 2 weeks ago. The worms so far have gotten mostly banana peels and apple cores. I made the bedding out of some coco coir, used potting soil, a bit of cardboard shredded, and some spent coffee grounds.
I decided to give them something higher is phosphorus and sulfur, so I ground up some old dried chick peas and pigeon peas I had in the back of the cupboard. I sprinkled about 1/4 lb of the bean powder into the pile of banana peels in the corner of the bin in this video. 2 weeks ago the worms were tiny, but now there are a bunch of really plump ones in this pile. The worms really seem to like it. They will need more time to finish eating the beans, and I have about 3/4 lb of bean powder already prepped.
Don't watch this video if you are squeamish...
