  • Each chamber was filled with a different type of bedding material: Chamber #1 had leaves, #2 had cardboard, and #3 had paper. Then in went the red wiggler composting worms. Periodically water and grit (pulverized eggshell) were added. Also, as needed, additional material was loaded in when the levels dropped low. ENJOY!

      I’m hoping to get some more soon as unfortunately my last two batches died due to temperature.

      I believe it is healthy to mix. Adding a bit of everything. Then turn it over. But, if your goal is to compost. You don't want bins in the first place. You want net cages or similar that can bring in a lot of oxygen to the soil. You want the bacteria to work more than the worms. Because bacteria process the material far faster and more effectively.

      Not at all. You wouldn't last on only french fries ;) Worms don't like single food source as well. Leaves and grass clippings give off both carbohydrates and aminoacids. Cardboard and paper don't have much of those. There's sulfur and nitrogen deficiency. So... mixing cardboard and paper with food scraps is brilliant and red wigglers would love that. Giving them only paper isn't particularly good idea.

This person thought the soil would just be shits and corpses when in reality only a year had went by, therefore it is unlikely that many earthworms died as they usually can live longer.

      cev5656 that’s exactly what happens at landfills. Once a landfill is considered “full” it’s left alone to allow the worms to turn the area into soil. Unfortunately a lot of landfills are flooded with toxic dump that kill worms which is why they never stop being landfills.

    Very telling video. The more organic bin on the left had faster process time, made more babies, had better results and it seemed were happier worms. The bin in the middle was so indigestible with colored cardboard until the worms were forced to eat it or starve, and the bin on the right almost made me sick the results looked so disgusting. This will definitely change what I feed my compost/worm bin. All that extra cardboard is getting pitched.

    The 1st section was easy to decompose, the third one took a while to decompose, while section 2 was the hardest to decompose.
