Vermicomposting Challenge: Indoor Worm Bin Population
Remember this picture from two months back? Well I had this challenge wherein I placed this much material in this 5-gallon container and 10 worms of different sizes and I wanted to see how long it would take for the worms to finish everything. Well I cut short this challenge because the contents were too wet and it was getting icky. But before I cut this short though, the contents declined to about 20% of its original volume.
A few days ago, I figured I'd redo this bin so I transferred the contents to my other bins. But guess what I found? I didn't really count them but from my estimate, the population must have tripled in the past two months. The soppy materials were dense with worms. Cool huh? So much so that I managed to seed four new small bins. I guess this challenge wasn't a total failure after all!
