Are coffee grounds good for worm farms?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Coffee grounds have about the same amount of nitrogen as grass clippings – 2% or so, meaning they heat up quickly when added to compost and help turn the entire pile into a beautiful dark rich soil. They are also very suitable for the worm farm, with those little guys loving used coffee grounds.


How much coffee grounds can you feed worms?

Pre-compost your coffee grounds to promote microbial activity. Limit the amount of coffee grounds added to 25% – 50% of a worms diet. It's a good idea to add small amounts first to see if your worms like it or not. And to use pocket feeding so that your worms can choose to feed on it as they please.

Can worms live off coffee grounds?

Use Coffee Grounds Of all the waste I've used in the farm, used coffee grounds have been one of the most successful. The worms love it as a foodstuff and, as the grounds are wet, they help keep the farm moist.

What do you not put in a worm farm?

Items you cannot compost in a worm bin: Lemon, lime, orange or other citrus peels and juice (in excess this will make the soil too acidic) Onions and garlic (a good rule of thumb is if it makes you smell, it makes your worm bin smell) Meat, fats, grease, bones or oils (no butter, lard, stocks, soups, etc)

What kind of dirt do you use for a worm farm?

Bin should be 3/4 full of wet newspaper strips. Sprinkle 2-4 cups of soil in bin, which introduces beneficial microorganisms. Gritty soil particles also aids the worms' digestive process. Potting soil, or soil from outdoors is fine.
