<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi there,<br>
<br>
since last doodle seems to have been composted by the net :-)<br>
here's a second try:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://doodle.com/s4cpreqqfdb5dnzp">http://doodle.com/s4cpreqqfdb5dnzp</a><br>
<br>
Would be great if Rudi could come!<br>
<br>
I'm certainly not an expert but have gathered a lot of experience
over the last few months with the bin on my balcony.<br>
I realized that no matter how much you read, the proper conditions
come with experimentation - i.e. self made experience.<br>
<br>
the red worms DO burrow, usually in the direction of food, but
also air pockets to hang out in, and they hate sunlight and burrow
down to get away from the light.<br>
they will rest on the surface bio waste if you let them, but so
will flies, maggots and mites. soooo, its actually a good idea to
bury the food under the bedding (paper, leaves, soil) so that flys
and other critters don't swarm the surface and just trust that the
worms will burrow through bedding to get to the food... <br>
<br>
the roof idea was just to keep rain out. remember - it rained A
LOT in July and a lot of my worms drowned in the bottom catchment
tray.<br>
<br>
anyway, let's just meet and discuss/brainstorm further in person!<br>
best, Alex<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I suggest a meeting, because none of
this is making sense.<br>
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....<br>
what fabric? what roof?<br>
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.<br>
is Rudi an expert in red worm composting? it does not sound
like it. <br>
best wishes<br>

<div>the fabric wouldmostly be there so teh soil doesnt fall
through the holes of the crate.</div>
<div>most of all rudi, our agricultural engineer adviser said,
there needs to be substance. he recommended to add about 1/3
of soil to the crate, so the worms will be better protected.
if you dont have soil you can just buy flower soil, like for
potting. the units we have are just not really ideal since
they are quite small. it is an experiment...<br>
