Everything I've learned breeding worms in Huddersfield, written down for you. Real questions from real keepers, answered properly.
If you've got a question that isn't covered here, drop me a line. Plenty of these guides started life as a customer email. Yours might too.
For axolotl keepers
Feeding axolotls: the complete UK guide
How much to feed, how often, and what to feed at every life stage. Hatchling to adult, with portion sizes that keep them healthy. Worms versus pellets, what to avoid, and how to spot overfeeding before it becomes a problem.
Fishless cycling your axolotl tank
The right way to cycle a new tank before your axolotl ever sees it. Six weeks of patience that saves you months of grief later. What to test for, what readings to look for, and what to do when your ammonia spikes at midnight.
For worm keepers and composters
Keeping your worms alive between feeds
You bought live worms. Now what? Bedding, moisture, temperature, food. The simple bits that mean your worms last weeks rather than days, and arrive at feeding time fat, healthy, and ready. Includes how to spot a stressed worm before it dies on you.
Composting for beginners: the Yorkshire way
Turn kitchen scraps into living soil. No fancy kit needed, just worms doing what they've done for millions of years. What to feed them, what to avoid, and how to know when your compost is ready.

If there's a guide you want that isn't here, tell me. I'll write it.
And if something here is out of date or could be clearer, tell me that too. These guides get updated as I learn more.
