Hungry Bin Worm Composter

[@chrismurphy2769]

Thanks for sharing. We just got one and haven't yet started it up. I'm a bit surprised that the final product in your bin wasn't as broken down as I was expecting... My plan is to sieve the final product and put the larger chunks back in the top, keeping mostly just the castings. I was wondering your thoughts on this.

Hello thanks for checking out the video. The chucks (for lack of a better word at the moment) is avocado seeds, peanut shells and egg shells; those are your last items (if at all) to compose. Sure you can return them back to the top in fact you're first couple of drops from the bottom should most likely be returned to the top anyways. Depending on the type of product you put in, is going to determine when you do harvest. I mainly put in food scraps shredded paper from my office and an occasional brown paper bag. When I first started my Hungry bin I used coconut husk, some brown leaves and cow manure. You really want to get a carbon and non carbon mix going of 25% carbon. Then you set it and forget it; check it out once a week or so. Those worms will harvest almost anything except for what I mentioned citrus, potatoes and flour products. They absolutely love squash and avocado. Feel free to give me a call if you have any questions 508-776-2246
