12/8 removed pumpkin from FT

well the overfeeding in the flow thru wasn't going as i planned as there would be lots of air for the food but the worms weren't in this last pumpkin i had put in
so i took it out for now till it needs more food

took some worms from the compost holding  blue bin and transferred them to the new blue bin to get them to reproduce more

the stackable looks great,,the leaves are nicely breaking down and looks like rich soil already and its not even finished yet
