First, during the initial time go easy on the acidic stuff like tomato. Actually, go easy on the amount of food in the earily days as over feading is a normal problem in the beginning. I hear that they really like a sprinkle of corn meal on occasion. I can say they seem to love sweet stuff like old mellon too. Corrugated cardboard is great, especially if you have a shredder that can handle shredding it without breaking (I've broken two shredders so far but the fellows powershred seems to do cardboard much better.) Corrugated cardboard is about the only material that is both food and bedding at the same time and doesn't seem to pack down or ball up the way paper does. Even if you can't shred the corrugated cardboard, it is still great to use. I like to line the bottom and sides of the bed with the corrugated stuff before putting shredded stuff and worms in the bed. I've also found that if you have a bin or tub of water you can dunk the cardboard in, it makes ripping it up much easier (also pealing plastic tape off is easier sometimes that way.) Box board or paper board like cereal boxes are not so great in the worm bin. My first batch had lots of shredded paper and paper board and there were lots of bits to pick out of the finished castings. I now mostly use the shredded corrugated cardboard in my beds. If you can pulverize some egg shells (let them dry and then use an old coffee grinder is a really easy way) to sprinkle over the bed when you get your worms, it will give them the grit to help digest the food when you start to put it in. If no coffee grinder for the purpose, I've heard a rolling pin on a cutting board works. I didn't have any food in the bin when I got my worms. I just sprinkled the grit and a tablespoon of corn meal over the bedding. I opened the cardboard box the worms came in and place the whole box with the worms open on it's side right in the bedding of my bin. tat way the worms could spread out in their own time and not be shocked by the change. Give em a couple days and then check to see if they have moved out into your bin, if so, try a hand full of food buried in the bedding somewhere (remember where so you can check on it.) Wait untill that is gone or mostly gone before feeding again in another location. As your worms settle in and breed, you will be able to feed more but be patient for the first month or so. That is the hardest part with new worms, being patient and leaving them alone to do their job. I like to keep a big bit of cardboard over top of the bedding in my bin. Here is a link that might be useful: Worm Bins.

We are installing cabinets with built in trash/recycling pull outs. I have one cabinet in my island for both trash and recycle, another cabinet for just trash by the MW/snack area for the kids, and a cabinet with just recycle in the mudroom (right off the kitchen) for all extra paperwork/mail that comes into the house. We empty trash and recycle quite frequently anyway. Just so you know, the kitchens forum here is amazing. The people there are full of knowledge and advice. I'd definitely recommend posting your kitchen layout in the kitchens forum and get feedback there. :-)

The reason im asking this question ive got 3 x 800ltr vats for holding new ,unhealthy and young fish as ive had some good spawing over the past few years and my pond can get over stocked so until i can shift them on , What would be best yet economical way to set them up . They will hold koi and Stergon at times so needs good filteration . Ive looked at several ways ie putting a bottom drain , pump to box filter , pump with in pond filter or just pressurised filter . As they won't be stocked all year round i dont want to spend 100s and 100s but again not looking for cheapest option . If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated. it bettwe to have more heads with ideas then one all ideas will be taken on board n I thank you in advance
