[Adoptacomposter] roof

[s.k. stanley]

I suggest a meeting, because none of this is making sense.
we are not using earth worms, so soil is not the right bedding to use.   
red worms do not burrow into soil, they rest on the surface of 
bio-organic waste and shredded carbon-filled paper, like cardboard....
what fabric?  what roof?
there is already experts who know how to do it, its all on the web, so 
there is no need 'experiment'.  the worms will die without the proper 
conditions.
is Rudi an expert in red worm composting?  it does not sound like it.
best wishes
