Worm Cafe - Compost with earthworms right in your garden

Step 12 Don't forget to feed your earthworms

 Kitchen scraps can be added on a regular basis.  Check and see how fast the earthworms are consuming the scraps to get an idea of how much you can add and how often.  You may be able to add a cup or two at least once per week.

This is new for me so I am trying it out for the first time.  I would be interested to hear how it is working out for all of you that try it.

This looks like a great plan. The worms will naturally spread their casings, so in theory you shouldn't ever have to empty it unless you put too much material in there for them to keep up on. I'm going to make one for each of my raised beds in my garden - see if I can get a whole production line going.

How do you turn the compost in this case? What about emptying it?

There is no need to turn it - the earthworms do that for you. The earthworms also will spread it around your garden as castings. You can temporarily remove it and empty it if you have much in there to empty.
