    If you are still having issues with your worm bath tub, I follow a channel called plant obsessed. I’ve been following her wedge method in the dual 50 gallon plastic bin. I have had great success with shredded cardboard soaked in blended vegetable/fruit/plant matter pre composted.
    I started with around 3000 worms and they have basically doubled in volume. I feed frozen scraps every two weeks and the tub is just one continuous production line from the feeding end to the finished end.

      I’ll check it out, thanks! This one worked really well, I just didn’t feed them for over 18 months. Be good to have it up and running again.

      @@loveofdirt yeah I enjoy looking in the worm farm every couple of weeks, it’s amazing how much work they do.
      Pick up my first fully established bee hive tomorrow. Very excited

    Awesome and I’m sure they moved to a different location in your garden 👍👍. Have a super weekend hope it’s warm, Ali 🌞🇨🇦

      I’d say so, they don’t hang around if the conditions aren’t right and the garden is right there

    I reckon chopping up the food for them is the ONLY way to go!! Especially in Brisbane.

      Yeah they churn through it when you do. Less risk of soldier flies finding it. They can have my compost bin but I don’t want them heating up the worm farm.

      You don't find that it over heats? I have my worms jump ship if I get BSFL in my tub

      @@loveofdirt No not really. I've never measured the temp, but they haven't really bothered the worms.
