wiggler city had a nice 3 day weekend to get situated. the plan was to use the partially decomposed, week old scraps on monday for their first feeding. i found this mixture of scraps and manure to be dried out and full of maggots. ew-ew-ew!
plan b. i had some scraps from sunday that i picked through for melon, tomatoes, lettuce, and some egg shells & coffee grounds. our bin is 3 feet long, so i placed a palm size pile at each end of the bin just under a layer of bedding to allow the worms to move away from the pile should it start to heat up. i was relieved to find the moisture level of the bin still perfect and wigglers wiggling.
tuesday morning's bin visit also made me smile. no stinky bin, a few worms feeding and around the scrap piles, though not as many as i had anticipated.
this morning i'm taking the camera along for some fotos that i'll post tomorrow.
say cheese! :)
