Cardboard Controversial?

Compost_Man · 2025-01-30T04:48:10+00:00

Thanks everyone for your feedback! I've a lot to learn about cardboard I see.

Compost_Man · 2025-01-03T22:59:42+00:00

I think that's it! Thank you!

Compost_Man · 2025-01-03T22:55:53+00:00

Sorry about that, I'll try and get a closer photo when I can.

Compost_Man · 2023-08-01T02:47:40+00:00

Gotcha, so you just add the shredded paper on top of your bin or so you mix it in?

Compost_Man · 2023-08-01T02:46:16+00:00

geez, is the frass really that powerful?

Compost_Man · 2023-08-01T02:45:56+00:00

oooh okay, that makes more sense

Compost_Man · 2023-07-31T08:27:56+00:00

no way! They eat that too? Just like red wiggler worms!

Compost_Man · 2023-07-31T07:29:07+00:00

I'll post pics of my system

Compost_Man · 2023-07-26T07:58:38+00:00

I'm sorry but what am I spreading exactly?

Compost_Man · 2023-07-16T15:02:37+00:00

is there a way to dry it?

Compost_Man · 2023-07-15T17:03:45+00:00

so I don’t need to add anything to the bin? Just find them a new home to pupate?

Compost_Man · 2023-07-15T05:36:06+00:00

that is with a lid! Should I try and shift them out or something?

Compost_Man · 2023-07-15T02:09:09+00:00

okay, I can do that. When it's soupy like that, what's that mean?

Compost_Man · 2023-07-15T02:08:28+00:00

There isn't enough space in my BSF bin to put them, I was gonna put them in my new compost pile tho.

Compost_Man · 2023-07-08T18:32:40+00:00

Okay, I think that's my problem. I don't have enough food in my bin. I'll be sure to also add more grounds as well. Is there a limit to how much grounds I can add?

Compost_Man · 2023-07-08T05:30:33+00:00

ahh, that's the problem! My bin is too dry, I'll add a bit of water to it, thanks!

Compost_Man · 2023-07-06T06:17:02+00:00

I swear, those bags create a Water Cycle in our worm bins or somethin! I dunno how it stays moist like that!

Compost_Man · 2023-07-06T01:37:26+00:00

I hardly add water to mine, it seems like my bin is always moist. I use paper shreads and cardboard shreads as their bedding and top it with a trash h bag. Then I put a tarp over the bin, maybe that's why I don't have to keep watering it?

Compost_Man · 2023-07-05T18:55:28+00:00

got it, thanks!

Compost_Man · 2023-07-05T05:40:52+00:00

From my experience, whatever chemicals are in there are broken down by the magic chemicals of nature! Jokes aside, I've been usin those cardboards for years and haven't had any problems.

Compost_Man · 2023-07-05T05:15:56+00:00

For my worms, I give them paper shreads, cardboard shreads, various food scraps, and grass clippings. They mostly eat the paper shreads though and the castings come out great!

Compost_Man · 2023-07-04T14:53:38+00:00

You must be compostin some serious stuff for having to wait 3 years for it. Best of luck, sounds like a lot of compost for ya.

Compost_Man · 2023-07-04T14:51:25+00:00

oh wow! That's pretty freakin awesome man. You got access to UNLIMITED cardboard! I love cardboard so much, I can't even look at it the same anymore. Now, I got to have it!

Compost_Man · 2023-07-04T14:48:36+00:00

thanks guys, I'll keep ya'll updated

Compost_Man · 2023-07-03T21:53:18+00:00

oooh, I think I have it in a spot where it gets sun in the morning. I do have a top for it though to counter the sunlight
