Those of you who know me, know that I geek out on things that I try. I have spent about a month doing various amounts of research on the subject before I even considered ordering anything to get started heading down this wormhole. Pun intended. Definitions first… as they really do matter. You can locate blog posts under Random/Vermicomposting
Composting: Compost piles are typically hot it uses the aerobic/anerobic breakdown of organic matter releases carbon dioxide and heat, this means that composting piles can reach temps up to 150°F. The one really great upside of that is that heat can kill the pathogens that might be present in your compost input.
Vermicomposting: Composting with worms is a cooler process with temps staying under 90°F. The downside to less heat is that vermicomposting will not kill as many pathogens present in the food waste or whatever you’re feeding your worms.
I’ve decided to make this into part of the BLOG, under Vermiculture. I’ll post updates on how things are going. Going forward all the blog posts will be under Random/Vermicomposting
