I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but we just recently started a vermicomposting bin (composting with worms). The dehydrated food waste that comes out of this machine is a great food for the worms when added along with dried leaves, torn up paper, or some other brown material. You'll probably want to add water to it so it's moist when you add it, though.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Ebu, The recycled food compound from your FoodCycler can, in theory, can be added to your vermicompost bin. However, there are certain conditions: just as you would not add food that is high in sodium, sugars, or fats directly to your worm bin, so you wouldn't want to add similar food wastes to the bin even if that food waste has been processed by the FoodCycler first. For example: while the FoodCycler can handle meats, dairy, and even processed food, worms should not have too many of these items as they can be harmful to them/invite pests. As with anything involving animals, we always recommend caution, as the FoodCycler is intended to reduce food waste first and foremost.
