Thank you for accepting my membership. I look forward to learning from everyone. I'm in southern Colorado. I have red wigglers. Not much experience my first try ended with in a couple of months. To many gnats, fruit flies and other insects. I'm one week into my 2nd try and so far things are going well. I found this Skool group as a result of Cherene's videos on precompost for worm bedding. I'm really wanted to learn how to do this well, without the nasty things that can come with worm farming. Also the fastest way to make the worm castings and using that in my gardening, adding to soil, worm tea, even want to do an in garden bed bin once I get a handle on doing this right. I tried worms with a pre made bin from a local person back in 2014 but I didn't succeed. I just got my new bin set up a week ago with a half lb of worms. The next day I started my first batch of precompost. at 92 hours I hit my peak of 105 degrees. I'm going to aerate and add more puree tonight to start my second heat cycle. The worms are doing well and have consumed all by the skins of the overgrown cucumber slices I fed them the day I got them. Those were frozen, then defrosted and cooked to help with breaking down the cell walls and killing insect eggs that might be present. I will give them some new slices of cucumbers tonight and get my hands in the bin to see how things are going for the 1st time since I put them in there.
