We need more composting worms

July 28, 2009

I hope that I am not too impatient, but now that the worms are here and starting to their job so efficiently I am just cringing at the amount of food scraps we still have going in the trash. I have divided the worms into 3 bins and removing the lids and putting them in a more airy outdoor area has done wonders for the bins and composting. I think my next order of business is to figure out how to make a single, larger worm bin. I think the larger bin will make it easier to keep the temperatures regulated in the bin. The 10 gallon bins I have now are just too small to bury very much food at one time. I have drawn some plans for a larger bin that is a combination upward migration with flow through continuous composting. I have to visit the hardware store this weekend and see if it’s all in the budget. Cross your fingers.
