Yep just put them on top of the media. I started with a handful out of my worm farm in each bed and they have built up their numbers very quickly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Another option is to half bury a 20 litre bucket (the type with lid) in the bed. Drill holes in it's base first, put some bedding in the bottom along with your worms and treat it as a worm farm by putting scraps that the chooks don't need/want in (I tend to separate out banana peels, tea bags, coffee grinds, and vege peelings if there are to many for the chooks). Worm juice will go direct into your wicking bed and you get to use it as a worm farm, worms will still migrate out into the bed as well. Next time you set up a wicking bed just split the contents of the bucket to seed the new one. No more buying worms
