  • Each chamber was filled with a different type of bedding material: Chamber #1 had leaves, #2 had cardboard, and #3 had paper. Then in went the red wiggler composting worms. Periodically water and grit (pulverized eggshell) were added. Also, as needed, additional material was loaded in when the levels dropped low. ENJOY!
    The original build of the container and camera rig can be seen here: • 2-Year Vermi- annivers...

      I believe it is healthy to mix. Adding a bit of everything. Then turn it over. But, if your goal is to compost. You don't want bins in the first place. You want net cages or similar that can bring in a lot of oxygen to the soil. You want the bacteria to work more than the worms. Because bacteria process the material far faster and more effectively.

      Not at all. You wouldn't last on only french fries ;) Worms don't like single food source as well. Leaves and grass clippings give off both carbohydrates and aminoacids. Cardboard and paper don't have much of those. There's sulfur and nitrogen deficiency. So... mixing cardboard and paper with food scraps is brilliant and red wigglers would love that. Giving them only paper isn't particularly good idea.

This person thought the soil would just be shits and corpses when in reality only a year had went by, therefore it is unlikely that many earthworms died as they usually can live longer.
