I am learning by mistakes and would love to hear about your journey.
Here are my mistakes:
1: Moisture - I did not give my worms enough and have since added more and the worms are happier
2: Air and oxygen - every few days I turn the soil
3: Bell pepper - I removed the red bell pepper as I read these peppers were toxic then later read the vegetable is safe to give to worms. It's best to remove the seeds to prevent germination though. Update April 2023: I have since included bell pepper in my worms' diet.
4: Potato - again, I read potatoes are toxic then found another website that said worms can eat in moderation. Update April 2023: I have reintroduced potato into their diet
5: Crushed egg shells - in video 2, I show your deceased worms and too much protein as the possible cause. Crushed eggshells help a worms digestive system and provide calcium to balance the protein.
6: Smaller food - worms have small mouths to cut food up into tiny pieces.
