Worm Farm / Vermaculture #780717

Asked January 24, 2022, 11:53 AM EST

Hello: About growing worms. I plan to feed the worms pulverized egg shells. Inadvertently i got coffee grounds mix in with the pulverized egg shells. Will this mixture of egg shells and coffee ground be ok to feed the worms? Please advise. Thanks for your help. Glen Hartsock PS: I can make a donation if you wish.

Here is our web page on vermicomposting. It mentions what to add and what not to add to the bin. Crushed eggshells and coffeefilters/grounds are okay to add to the bin.
