I finally upgraded from scissors to a 2nd hand shredder. And automatically jumped into my next project 🤗🤭.... Can you guess?

Just finished my first precompost bin! I didn't have window mesh so I used styrofoam - hoping that's okay. Anyone know if it's ok if I put this outside to help it heat up faster?

Also, might be starting a black soldier fly bin here 🤣 perfect for my chickens!

Wanna go full out organic? Daylilys may be the best flower to grow. In the basket are yesterday's spent blooms, the worms LOVE LOVE LOVE em!!! They're partially broken down(slimy and wet) and its basically instantly available food to them thats very nutritious. The stack of sticks are the dried bloom stalks from daylilys. About 2 weeks after blooming the stalks dry up and can be pulled out easily, chopped up(must be quite small and fine, they are fibrous and woody) and are a great carbon source for making precompost (research says anyways). I will finish drying them in the sun then chop em in a barrel with the wead eater to get them as small as possible. The daylilys also grow green blades that can be chopped fresh(again small and fine) to make a good nitrogen source(I'm skipping this part, they are best harvested in spring when smaller and fresh), I will be using an organic seed meal nitrogen source when I make this precompost. Will continue to post details on this experiment in the future. 😁🪱💩😁

Once Pre compost is done and ready for the worms how long can it stand before adding worms
