Compost Worms
"Erik Vastmasd" wrote in message
... You are using compost piles and your compost isn't in compost bins? Pardon. I have a compost pile and a compost bin in the sunny spot. I've got a fairly large garden - and a large nature strip lawn area to cover. Ideally I should have 6 compost bins. If so you would not be able to keep the piles sufficiently moist enough for compost worms to survive particularly if in the full sun. Point taken. But can the compost piles work if I put a tarpulin plastic sheet over it? I have the conventional worm farms in shady spots but I have also established compost worms in two compost bins one of which is shaded, the other is in the full sun and worms have survived in both for several years so far. Hmmm... I'm in Victoria - the black compost bins turn super hot in Summer when the temperatures hit 30+. I've found the worms scrambling to the top rim of the lid cover during that time. They can't come out and they die. The phenonmenon only occurs during Summer. During Winter, the worms are very happy campers. |
