The flies.


Ah.

I'm just curious... Why are your vermiculture bins attracting flies?
Fresh compost?

Yes, I guess. They're after the decomposing stuff too.


Fresh compost vs. aged compost = decomposition...

Have you tried composting separately, then feeding that to the worms?

The worms are DOING the composting. Instead of putting the stuff in a
pile somewhere, you feed it to the worms. They digest it, and it
becomes compost.



I see.

I'm not really sure how to solve a fly problem then, short of covering
the stuff, which we've already discussed. :-)

How about pine shavings?


That limits me to post-adolescent pines.


Too acidic?
