   Feedstock
   Any raw organic material used to feed worms, including the bedding in which worms live in a vermicompost bin or other system. Examples include soil, manure, coir (coconut fibre), peat moss, straw, leaves, or shredded paper. Worms can be fed any organic material, depending on the scale of the system. Examples include eggshells, coffee and tea grounds, fruit and vegetable leavings, plant clippings, paper food packaging, and waste paper. Dairy products, meat, fat, oils, human and pet manures tend to attract unwanted organisms and are usually excluded as feedstock, although they can be used in specifically designed systems. Cereal products are often marketed as worm fatteners. Be careful when adding bread to a worm bin, as the yeast in bread can significantly increase the bedding temperature and result in a massive worm meltdown or mass worm exodus from the bin.
