Outdoor bin advice needed - 2008/05/11 16:42
When I built my outdoor bin I Divided it into thirds. One third mostly green horse manure one third in the middle mostly cardboard. and one third on the other side green horse manure again.
Because of the winter temps I started out 10 inches deep whith all three sections.
Now as I dig around the bin I notice that the bottom five inches have very little worm action and the color is still manure green.
If I throw food scraps on top the worms are activly eating it. I did just turn the whole bin and am not sure how they are going to like that.
My concern is if I keep adding to the top i'm afraid i'm going to make the bottom of the bin go anarobic.
I don't feel the horse manure is breaking down fast enough to supply them with the food they need. so I feel I need to add which leads back to the anarobic thought again.
How would you big bin owners handle it??
Thanks
Darren
