Credit to Anne for her suggestion. Blending safe food for your worms helps them digest food more quickly, especially as worms do not have teeth. Food can be stored in the freezer but ensure once thawed it reaches room temperature before feeding to your worms. I paid £15 from Argos for the Cookworks set but has increased to £28! You can buy the chopper only from Argos for £18 but suggest looking around..
Microbes:
I am learning about this - but from what I understand, many microbes live in a worm's gut, which helps break the food down because blending it becomes a faster process. Microbes reproduce and live ones appear with any castings (although right now unsure what a microbe looks like until I look at Google!)
You might find finer castings because of feeding worms blended food, which is positive too.
