UWB + WSM (10 weeks update)

Sharing is caring!

No pictures…..But this bag is exceeding all of my expectations.  The population is thriving and growing !!  Remember I only started this with 1/4 lb of bed run worms, around 100 cocoons and 3 lbs of current bedding material.

I feed all of my bins every 2 weeks and this is the only bin I DO NOT have to water.

When I unzip the lid the top is so nicely moist (fingers/hand testing along with visual…and it isn’t too wet down below either!!)  I add veggie/fruit scraps (about 1.5 cups ) then top with wet shredded cardboard completely covering the top.  I then add my precomposted rabbit manure with hay, used coffee grounds and aged grass clippings and gently spread it over the cardboard.  For the top layer I add the mixture of dry mulched leaves and wood chips completely covering the other layer.

Because it is staying so moist on the inside and with the addition of the precomposted matter which may contain a few BSFL (black soldier fly larvae) I am now leaving the zipper undone on the top closing corner about 5 inches with a small gap so if some of the BSFL hatches they can escape to go find the precomposting area.
