Yayyy, no more runners! I wonder if using dry leaves would have resulted in anything different. 🤔 I really expected better with that leaf bin, but maybe it'll turn a new leaf in future check-in's (pun intended)!
Using your nose is definitely a good way to check on the health of the bin, but it looks like the leaves in the bin are just wet. I'd be more concerned if it had a smell after a large feeding. ~ Sandra
Thank you. I still. Don't have cause for concern and I didn't douse it in any liquids this time either. I checked on it again today an it was perfectly fine. X
hello every body i am a new subscriber and enjoying the posts you keep talking about worm chow what is the chow made from i added worms to my compost bin and feed kitchen veg to my bin on the top and turn it once a week to aerate it hundreds of worms but i am going to start a couple of bins in the shed to over winter just in case we have a real bad winter i have been collecting leaves and shredding cardboard and paper and mixing it all to gether any addvise much appreciated stay safe ATB
Yea! We have worms! It looks like the leaves are more clumped together than the cardboard and therefore creating small anaerobic pockets. Would adding in a handful of dry leaves help? Or would that be against the experiment parameters?
That's my dilemma. Dried leaves would prolong the decomposition but since the worms in the cardboard bin did a runner a few weeks ago, are we even still gauging that? We'll see..
Pretty excited about the results. Time for a 🍺
Let’s go cardboard team!
Hahaha. I think they'll go first now. That the moisture is locked in
