Hi, Definitely. Leaves will begin to breakdown pretty quick. In the process the heat will definitely accrue. With leaf-mold based worm bins, you'll need ventilation in the top of the bins for sure. The amount of greenhouse gas that will build up in the beginning will become too much for the worms to handle and they'll look for an escape route!
@@LordJesusChrist1968 That's great! North or South? I'm in Morris County here. Just recorded 2 more videos for everyone on reds and blues and Euros. Ill get them uploaded soon. I don't do much editing if any for now. So they should be up shortly.
I just added a bunch of chopped leaves to all of my worm bins!! 🍁 🪱 They love that stuff!!!🎉 I got a few more big black bags of leaves to chop... I use a small battery weed wacker and a large planter with thick walls. Im hoping to make enough bedding for a home made 2'X4' CFT. Maybe make a bigger one in the future when needed. We have about 13 bus bins and are running short on space... Still gotta build a shelving system for the smaller bins...🎉
Yes, there’s some warmth to the bins for sure. I’ll post a video of my compost pile to show you the heat coming off in a future video.
Do the leaves heat up? I’m thinking about vermicomposting with leaves also.

Start composting some leaves early if you can. Add some water and let them sit. They’ll start breaking down before you even start.
@jerseyworms water sounds good. I hear they breed better with more moisture. 🌧️
