Usually it is best to have a run off trough so the urine doesn't go into your bins. Or to rinse the droppings briefly before putting them into the worm bin. Too much urine will definitely kill your worms. You do need to be quite careful about adding urine to worm bins. Usually it is best to have a run off trough so the urine doesn’t go into your bins.

The ammonia in the urine really does heat up a lot. How have you combated this problem?

This will be an addedbenefit not only for garden compost but to sell worms to the fisherman for bait. Use manure collecting bins under rabbit cages for earthworm raising.

If your worms are escaping, you need to make things more hospitable in the bins. It's either too moist, not moist enough, they've run out of things to eat or they might need more shredded newspaper to balanace things out. If it's primarily a new batch of worms making a break for it, they could just be having adjustment issues. Try putting a light above the bin (to simulate the sun) and watch your moisture levels. Hope this helps & be sure to let me know how things go! Thanks for dropping in!

I was just wondering about what to do with the accumulating piles under my hutches. Thanks! About the worms, we have had problems in the past with the worms escaping from the bins, how can we avoid this problem if there are no lids on the bins? Great!
