Old food in worm bins - 2006/05/07 07:57
If there is food in worm bins for longer than a week that has not been consumed, should I leave it in the bin or remove it?
I had posted earlier about some course chopped potato peelings that I had added to the bin. Not all of this has been eaten. Is it okay to leave it the bins or should I take them out? I was asking because I wondered if the longer they were in there the more heat they may be causing in the bin.
I fluffed up the bedding in my bins just a couple of days ago and and sprinkled a bit of cornmeal on the top. Yesterday morning when I checked on the bins when the light hit them I noticed quite a bit of movement just under the shredded paper.
I could come to a couple of conclusions from this;
1. They really like the cornmeal, or;
2. They wanted to get away from the potato peelings.
Does anyone want to venture which conclusion may be closer to the truth?
