Well, we have had some ups and downs. I have conquered a flying something or other infestation, a white mold that looked like it belonged in a horror movie, and worms that looked like they were on the verge of extinction. Worms falling to a watery death in the leachate tray and worms dying of dehydration in an attempt to flee. We have persevered.Now, digging down to the worms preferred level of the bin and grabbing a hand full of compost yielded what appears to be far more worms than when I started - and that isn't even the half of them. The bin seems to have reached a kitchen-waste destroying equilibrium. No more pests, or mold or drownings.
I need to start another bin!
