Question by : how much news paper does a worm farm need in it?
I Have A LOT of news paper at my house and i am starting a worm farm; if i shred this news paper up and add small amounts of news paper weekly, will the worms eat it??? or can i just dump the whole lot in at once with the other food scraps? Thanks

Add about a 2 inch layer of shredded newspaper to the surface of the worm farm. Do not use pages with color on them, only black and white pages. Spray water from a spray bottle to dampen the newspaper. Add more weekly. Add food scraps daily. Only fruit and veggie scraps, no meat or fat scraps. If you put a cover on the worm farm they will come to the surface to eat. They will eat the newspaper. If there is no cover they will stay below the surface where it is dark and the newspaper will be eaten much more slowly.
