I made it! They are all still alive, I think. Hard to tell. It seems they are thriving. I found a couple of them mating…
Looks to me like they are Red Wigglers too.
Still not warm enough to move the bin outside yet. I haven’t got plans for any visitors so it’s okay staying in the guest room for now.
I did feed them some worm chow on Sat, since the activity has seemed to slow down and it had been few days since I’d added the yard waste. That stuff breaks down much slower than the other waste I’ve dump into the bin. I have some more bananas to give them the next feeding. I’m guessing that will be around Wednesday or so.
Between this post and the last one I added a lot of shredded paper. I likely won’t use that again, it matted up and made clumps of hard paper balls. I also had to add a fair bit of water to it for a few days to allow it to incorporate more into the existing bedding.
I’m still checking the moisture daily. It seems to be holding. I really need to know how it does or drops if I don’t mist the bin for a few days. I have some trials events coming up. I won’t be around to check it every day.
I’m still leaning toward the bin being a bit to dry, but the worms seem to be doing fine.
