Pre-Compost
Okay so maybe I did something wrong, but my Pre Compost never reached over 86°F My mixture 3 parts shredded cardboard 1 part blended up food scraps 1/2 part of coffee grounds (used) Please let me know if that is correct. If it isn't, do I need to start over or just add?

@Cherene Packard what is funny, after reading all this and double checking on all the replys; I have set out a bucket of water to let set for a couple days to remove all the chlorine. While waiting I decided to fluff up my original PC......and wow just wow....it no longer had the coffee smell, it literally smells like earth. I was thinking I am going to have to add more stuff to it. Moving forward, I am going to make and or add some more just cause and this time I will do the 50 CB / 50 Scrap and 50 Coffee and see how it goes. Once again, thank you all for the feed back and help.

Okay so my second batch did reach a good high temp and it slowly coming down....pretty exited. I do have another question; is this a good food source or what is the main use for pre compost for my red wigglers? Can I feed them just this or is this just to help start breeder bins?

I live in South Texas, almost the hottest place in the US. I love plant life and started doing the whole worm farm now and my son loves it as well.
