Howdy, All!
Thought this might be a good place for us newbies to keep track of how our new setups are getting along and to share some "whodathunkit" ideas, and invite the more experienced (old-timers) in to fix us before we do something drastic and detrimental.

Background: started my WF roundabout the end of Nov, with a sorry batch (supposed to be 1 lb) of EF. Seller made it right and I got a "real" lb the next week. Using coir/finished hot compost/shredded office paper for bedding. Feeding kitchen slurry in trenches.
That said, I started posting this line of questioning in the "lack of castings" topic, but think this'd be more on track:

Thanx, redhen!
Based on your info, I think I'll keep feeding in the first bin, since they've still got a lot of work to do with the bedding. Set a new chow trench 2 days ago; if my li'l fellas had 'em, I'd consider them "two-feet knee-deep" into it
I did, however, prep and set a new tray with just bedding. I wood-blocked the corners of the lower tray to ensure airflow and minimal contact - thought it might keep their micro-climate a little more stable and enable some of the various and sundry other beneficials to move on up. Surprise, surprise when I checked 'em today there were at least a dozen of the li'l fellas hanging out the bottom of the top tray! Thinking it's a good thing that they're comfortable enough to move around in their new home, since moisture / temp / ph in the lower tray appear to be right...
