Phoebe from New South Wales has sent us a great letter about getting a worm farm for Christmas. She has asked us a question about whether or not we can feed the worms orange peel.
"Mum and Dad gave me a worm farm for Christmas because I have my own vegetable garden and I’m trying to get it to grow really well. I started the farm off before we went on holidays and now I have loads of worms in there – they’re multiplying like crazy.
Mum said to keep giving them just enough food so they stay full but don’t get smothered. It’s working. I’ve got a little brother and a big sister so we have plenty of scraps to keep them going.
We love watching them hang off the worm blanket, they’re really funny. I’m just not sure whether I can feed them orange peel because Mum says it might be too acidic. Can you help me?"
Stay tuned Phoebe. We will ask our brainmates at Tumbleweed headquarters and come back to you soon.
