moisture level for worm beds

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

Hi all, Now that the beds are framed in under the rabbits I need to no how much moisture worms need. Is the manure and urine from the rabbits enough or do I need to add more water? I am new to the worm thing so all advice is appreciated.

My mother in law lived in a dry climate and she tried to keep the beds damp but not soggy. They got sprinkled more or less when the lawn did.

Tracy, I give the worm beds a light spray when I water the rabbits,just make sure the beds have good drainage. Daryll

75% moisture saturation is generally accepted a center scale.
