RE: [Homesteadingfamily] Question about worm composting

Also realize they only live in the very top material and as far as I know they don't do rabbit poop. Mine only use veggie matter and very crushed egg shells and coffee grounds. Also they have to stay in the 65-75 temp range for optimal composting. They don't do cold or hot weather, so indoors is a good way.

I've used rectangular tubes (never 5 gal buckets) so I'm not sure how that would work. But on the tubes/bins you'd provide drain holes in the bottom and air vent holes in the side. Plus you really only want maybe an inch of fresh stuff for them to work through at a time.

Sarah, who was a master composter (yes, there are classes for that as well as master gardener) but haven't been actively involved in a group for 7 years so it's possible some training has changed since then.

I do know you have to have drain holes. Worms and compost make a lot of
liquid. It needs to go somewhere w/o drowning the wormies!
