Oh, if you do, let me in on it!! (The secrets.)
I've read up on that, Sometimes it can be tricky,
The timing of bedding replacement, the "juice" from the bottom must be taken into consideration.
Temp, light, (I've heard they could crawl
out if something about the lighting is
too bright?? They like it dark????)
Oh, I've read so much, but reading
and doing are two different things.
I think my main hangup is where to place them, I've even heard under a sink????? Not sure about the size then.... My backroom/mudroom, is not insulated too well and winter time it can get a bit cold, and that's when I'm looking mainly for the vermaculture. My composts go quite
frozen in the winter time, and my scraps just build up in the compost bins, come
spring when it's wet it does take a bit of magic to get it going without the smell. I'm getting pretty good at what to do but still wouldn't like it to happen at all.... Seems like if I were to do the scraps there in the winter it would be the best of both worlds. I'd like to talk to someone who really worked with them, and get some good relyable "tricks" before I do it.
After all, when I do regular composting, no little creatures are involved so to speak, I know there's bugs and such, but they take care of themselves without me... The worms are relyant on you to make their environment compatable to themselves... Like temps, drowning, enough food, etc. I do worry about that!!!
So, any tid bit's of info you can find out I'd be interested in... I know Karen would be too!!!
