Hi Phoebe, Jasper's comment to your orange peel question was pretty spot on.
If you are adding small peices of orange peel be sure to add some Worm Farm and Compost Conditioner to balance out the pH level. The citrus increase the acidity level in your worm farm.
If the worm farm gets too much acidity it changes the microbial balance and the types of gases being produced in the system, this may force your worms to start leaving the worm farm, or they might eventually die in the highly acid environment. You will know if the acidity level is to
high by the smelly odour.
So remember only add small amounts of citrus like orange peels if your worm farm is going great guns and dont forget to add a sprinkle of Worm Farm and Compost Conditioner every week to help neutralise acidity and balance pH levels.
