I am trying precompost heated up to 30 degrees now stuck at 30 for 3 days. Added more blendid food still not heating up. Doing something wrong...

I created this community to make worm composting, living soil, and healthier plant systems feel less overwhelming and more organized! Instead of digging through endless comments and videos, I wanted one place where people could: -learn step by step -ask questions -connect with others -grow healthier plants from the soil up Feel free to introduce yourself in the comments! Tell us: - where you’re from - what worms you have (or want) - whether you’re brand new or experienced - what you’re hoping to learn I’ll keep building this space over time with videos, resources, discussions, and live support. If you’re new to worm composting or living soil, welcome! You’re in the right place! :)

My first attempt at making pre-compost wasn't doing well, so I redid the bin. It started working - albeit slowly. I cheated with a special ingredient on my 2nd bin and it just surpassed the temp on my first bin with 2 or 3 less days! Spent Mushroom Substrate was the special ingredient. Since it is full of biota already, it seems to be jumpstarting the process! I'll upload a video tomorrow and show my setup.

Just watched and enjoyed the 5-video classroom series on making precompost. I'm going to start a batch this evening. Have you considered making a video and so the same thing, but in a five-gallon bucket?

This is a question I get a lot! For red wigglers, they thrive in the 70’s. Do not put them in the fridge unless you’re about to use them for fish bait! If you put them outside, watch the temperature swings. Feel free to post questions, contribute to answers, etc. you can pick the category for the question you have! We are all here to learn together! 🪱 🥰
