I dont have a specific feeding schedule but it would be somewhere around once a week, in the beginning it was more like a couple of times a week when the population was smaller. Dont worry too much about a schedule just observe your worms and keep ahead of them with the food. if they arent getting through what they have then dont keep adding more , just keep ahead of them so that they still have some food left when you add the new food but if the food is piling up, then hold off.

I've had my worms since mid-Oct. I usually collect my kitchen scraps, coffee grounds and all in a bucket and feed the worms at the weekend.

Lately, I've been giving them a large bucket of food and find that they can chomp on this for a week or two and then give them another bucket worth. I haven't had any problems with smell so far this way.

Another thing might be that I'm not sure how crazy worms
are about mostly coffee grounds. My daily grounds go into the bin but I've got plenty of table scraps, plant prunings, etc.

I've found that they don't necessarily get threw every bit of food I've tossed in at any point. They probably eat most of it. Some seems to sits in the bin for a while and decompose some more before they get around to eating it. I'm thinking for example of the avocado skin I threw in a while back which is still there.

worms will consume about 1/2 their weight per day, so if you have 2 pounds of worms, they'll eat about 1 pound a day ... but, yes, with compost as the bedding they're never hungry, even if they eat the max possible ... the amount of food waste you're adding may be a lot more than your amount of worms need, or they might just not bother to find it ... and yes, coffee grounds aren't terribly good as a primary food stock, as the material needs to get microbially active to be attractive to them [they're mainly 'meat eaters'], and grounds tend to dry too quickly to let bacteria get hold in short order

and seacat, avocado skins are almost bullet proof to microbes, let alone worms, you need to mince them up or they won't disappear even in a hot compost bin

Here is a link that might be useful: compost,

I agree with everything posted here. I go ahead and put in all the scraps I have unless it starts to smell, get too wet or just look like too much. If the scraps are fresh kitchen stuff, it will take a few days before it starts to decompose and appeal to the worms anyway. I always cover whatever goes in with the bedding. In the summer when it's warmer more can be put in because the process goes much faster.

I think I'm in the same zone as you, Psuliin, and the worms seem to be ok even tho' I didn't really make much effort to protect their bins.
