11/14 fed stackable,,gave cardboard to FT

gave the stackable some lettuce..stopped the leachate experiment as they still seem to be living well after a couple weeks of recycling the water thru it
cleaned out the bottom of the FT and found only a few worms down there and torn up some compressed cardboard filler packing

hope to make a stackable this weekend for mom to get going out at her place

11/6 fed blue bin

blue bin still had lots of potato peels in it but gave them a whole juicy pumpkin to eat

the recycling leachate in the stackable seems to be doing well with worms living in it
no dead worm smell as of yet

the pumpkin the the 55 gal flow thru is slowly going away already and lots of mold in there

11/5 gave the juvi bin a bucket full of leaves that were wet over the existing pile in there
