@juliangonggrijp I will have to look up the Hungry Bin, but your setup looks intriguing. I’ve been using the same vermicomposting bin for 20 years now, essentially 4 rectangular bins with a screened bottom for movement of worms and moisture (bottom is solid and there’s a top). I just fed them today with cut up light cardboard (TP rolls), coffee grounds, and plenty of vegetable peelings that I puréed. #vermicomposting

Turning over my worm bin. I started this bin while emptying out my father's house, and most of its carbon/bedding input is his shredded junk mail -- all the many threats and scams targeted at the elderly, the pleas for more money from charities he couldn't afford to support, and the darker babble about how the evil leftists are coming to steal your children. It still comes, most days, only now forwarded to me. Then it gets mixed with kitchen scraps and the worms eat it, so it can do some good in the world eventually.

Ever since I tried #vermicomposting I've wanted to try to pot a plant and keep the worms fed and living inside the pot.
This year I will try it using bottles buried in the dirt to feed the worms and hopefully keep out other critters (like fruit flies).
I hope it works out. #gardening

I had never really thought of why pumpkin seems so wet in a worm bin. After smashing off a few pieces of a frozen pumpkin I can see why.

The inside reminds me of an orange slice. I'll have to keep this in mind and make sure to give them some extra extra bedding to soak up whatever leaks out.

Here's hoping the little blighters are happy with today's feed.

@nicole2g The #vermicomposting container is a good place for germination. The seeds in the squash guts, the date seeds, and mystery sprouts have grown a bit and then the red wrigglers get them.

We have a worm bin that is *so* productive that I think I’m gonna have to set up a second one! 🪱

Temp in my basement is sitting at around 50F. My worm bins have certainly slowed down but the worms are still eating, still reproducing, still going about their wormy business.
If you're thinking about getting into #vermicomposting and live in a colder climate, red wigglers seem like a hearty bunch.

@nicole2g One thing that dissapoints me about a lot of social media #vermicomposting is how difficult they make it. I've been doing it for several years and...it's just not that hard.

Any #vermicomposting types in these parts? I mixed a fresh batch of mulch today for my #UrbanWormBag. Astounded by how much waste it diverts into rich and highly concentrated compost.

Mulch ingredients: shredded cardboard, paper bags and egg cartons, ground eggshells, thrice-filtered coffee grounds (to remove the acidity), dried leaves from the hops I grew this year, water.

Add two parts mulch to one part vegetable waste to the worm bag (not pictured) every three days.

Got some new worms today from a backyard local business. Red wigglers and nightcrawlers #Composting #Vermicomposting

Behold the beauty of #vermicomposting, the lovely Eisenia fetida at work. 💚

Last week I had the joy of teaching #vermicomposting to a group of community-supported-agriculture (CSA) members for a local farm cooperative. Everyone left super pumped about starting their own worm bins and I left super pumped about folks redirecting their organic waste back into our local soil 💚
