    Thankfully I’m in a warm climate so the bin is an outside thing and I don’t need to worry about things like that. Did you move to any other composting methods?

      Too short of a season in worm temp ranges for me unfortunately. My current ideas in various stages of testing (and testing list formatting here):

      1. Bokashi - can’t seem to get it to ferment and not rot. Also doesn’t come out as finished compost, but good to mix into soil or worm bin to finish.
      2. Fish - have tilapia, but would like something that attacks veggies more voraciously. Maybe pacu or giant gourami, but I don’t have an adequate setup sized for either. Anyway, waste veggies -> fish -> nitrate water and solids removal for gardens and/or aquaponic grow beds.
      3. Throw yard weeds and kitchen organic waste into a tub with water, let it sit for a couple of weeks, and use the water as fertilizer (I think it’s called JADAM?). Getting a 55 gallon drum to start that experiment at the end of June.
