Worm Composting

most of the worms drowned. Then all the moisture lead to an "off" smell in the bin, so I couldn't bring it back inside. While it was outside, the fruit flies had a field day, so I was forced to cover it with newspapers in order to keep them away. My surviving worms have made worms and my population is increasing again. The lesson here is not to worry about your worm bin. You can spend a lot of time adjusting variables to make it "perfect," but basically your worms will survive. So, don't worry about getting the perfect bin, the perfect bedding, or the perfect level of moisture. Keep everything about right, and the worms will be happy. Just like their natural habitat is never "perfect" either.

Just a final note. Worm bins make great gifts for the holidays. Just remember to leave the worms unwrapped until the last minute. They do have to breathe.
