Hi Folks,

I'm considering trying vermicompost this year because our kitchen scraps serve as deer food in the compost pile.

Any tips? I'm considering just using the worms from my compost pile and not red wigglers since they are not native and can easily escape.

I'm planning to use the three-bucket method.

Barely had the #worms a week and I've already had to bring them inside due to a cold snap here in North Carolina. They're in a bathtub with a quarantining begonia rex a friend bought me. 🤣

It's so, so easy to spend all day researching the "perfect" worm care. It's not even that I want the utmost best castings out of this. It's that there are ~250 lil critters relying on me to provide at least a middling quality of life.

If I could give only one piece of advice about how to setup a worm bin.

Don't overfeed it.

Let the worms the time to consume the food and feed them about 2 times a week the volume of food they need.

Not doing this will attract unwanted visitors to your bin.

A lot of pepper #seeds have sprouted in a #worm bin, the moisture, temperature, and nutrients made those seeds germinate because I keep the worm casting shallow. The #worms love it.

Add #carbon to a #CompostAtHome bin

Wood chips, sawdust, #cardboard, #newspaper or paper, dried leaves, #straw or hay, pine needles, nutshell, and last but not least #compost.

The more it is chopped the fastest the #fungi in your bin will process it.

#Compost is a way to sequester #carbon
in the soil.

Because the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio is higher in carbon, the final product is full of it.

Compost is a solution to fix the #climatechange and action that you can do #today.

Plus it helps reduce our waste and makes us more #sustainable at home.

Do your part to fix the #climatecrisis.
