Earthworms thrive on fruit and vegetable peelings, coffee grounds, eggshells, and non-greasy food scraps. These provide essential nutrients for decomposition. However, avoid adding meat, dairy, oily foods, and citrus fruits to the bin, as they can harm the worms or attract pests. Proper selection of feeding materials ensures a healthy environment for the worms and prevents any disruptions in the composting process.
