First time composting in the backyard, and this bin (started about a year ago) turned out brilliantly. A sample after sifting.

@db Do you keep worms?
@letterror Right now just getting the hang of green stuff + brown stuff + letting nature do its magic, but I’d like to experiment with worms as well if it’s not too complicated (this is at my inlaws’ so we’re not always attending to it)
@db Once saw someone really farm them. Trays full. Not my thing, personally, but they mostly take care of themselves.
@letterror @db My wife has taken up keeping worms (indoors) to supplement her composting efforts. Certain conditions do need to be attended to. Her first attempt failed. But the current “herd” seems to be getting along now without too much fussing.

It takes a while but they do end up looking after themselves well, and you learn more about what they like and don’t. No onion, garlic or citrus.
