Can I put hard boiled eggs in a compost or a worm bin?
Hi, I have about a dozen hard boiled eggs left over and I was wondering if I can put them in my compost bin or my worm bin. I've always read you can add the egg shells but never on weather the contents of the eggs shells can go in and why not if they can't. Anyway, if I have a preference it would be to give them to the worms as we've been light in feeding them this week. Thanks!
yes but this requires a specially designed composter. Composters that can handle meat and milk products have several common features.
1) They are air tight or otherwise designed to contain odours.
2) They have reinforced sides to keep scavengers out.
3) They have aerating features that bring fresh oxygen in and promote the activity of aerobic bacteria, or in the case of the bokashi composters, they use special anaerobic bacteria.
4) They are insulated to generate high temperatures that thermophilic bacteria use to break down proteins.

Vermicomposting Results: Barb Finnin Measures Us Up
We’ve been composting in our homemade worm bin for 5 months now. Through trials and tribulations, we’ve learned a lot about the right environment for worms! In fact we experimented so much, that we managed to decimate our entire worm population. *Sigh*. Master composter and Freshtopia diva, Barb Finnin, came by to see how our worm bin was doing after all this time. Thank goodness she was so encouraging! She helped us haul our semi-composted compost (and dead worm population) to our new backyard composting bins where it can still be useful. We also get a look at a Wriggly Wranch-a multi-layered worm bin that our neighbors purchased at a discount from our county waste management. Seems that if you can get the discount, the layered method is the way to go. We will try again using homemade methods, but this time we’ll have a little bit more knowledge to keep our worms alive. Thanks Barb!

How are worms formed?
If I have organic matter in a compost bin outside, will worms eventually form inside the bin?
If I keep a compost bin indoors, will worms form inside the bin?
How is it that worms develop when meat is left out on the countertop for a long time or in a garbage can in the hot summer; did the meat already have dormant worms?
No, worms dont just 'form'. Earthworms will come along to your compost heap and help break it down. The worms you talk about on rotting meat are maggots that appear there because flies come along and lay their eggs on the meat, and the eggs hatch and out come the maggots. This is so the maggots have something to feed on as they grow, before they too become flies.

worm farming.?
I could use a good design for a medium sized worm bin and maybe a little info for starting a worm farm.will be used mainly for personal composting if it generates any money it will be over flow.also trying to get my little ones interested in something other than tv or gameboys and what kid dont like playing with worms.any info will help.thanks.
If you can get a big plastic drum, like a 55 gallon one, and cut in in half, it makes an ideal worm habitat. Worms do like shredded, wet newspaper, but I recall reading somewhere that coffee grounds are not good for them. Also, if you don't keep a small light over them at night, they will crawl out. Many worm farmers also have rabbits, and keep the rabbits over the top of the worms. The worms consume the rabbit droppings, and turn it into precious castings to be used in earth friendly gardening. Worms will also consume varying amounts of kitchen refuse, but alot of keepers feed their worms cornmeal, which they have sprinkled on top of the bed, followed by a sprinkling of water. Also, ground limestone is applied to maintain the proper pH in the bed. I would suggest contacting your county agent for information. And, if your state agriculture department publishes a market bulletin, you can oftentimes find people advertising their worms. Try to find someone near you to buy your worms from – this is likely to be your very best source for guidance.

Wormcompost at sub-tropical temperatures?
Hi, I live in Taiwan. I am French. I am willing to set a worm compost bin on my balcony but my concern is how to deal with summer high temperatures (could reach 37-38 C degrees). From most of websites mentioning worm compost, It never talk about this and always talk about 27-28 as a maximum. I decide to ask this question on Yahoo Australia because the climate of North Australia is quite similar with Taiwan
Thanks for time!

Hi Phillipe
I used to live in North Queensland, Australia where temperatures often exceeded 35 degrees and humidity was also very high. I had a worm farm that worked quite successfully. The key to a successful wormfarm in the tropics is size. The compact round modular systems that are about 20 gallons in volume aren't any good as they heat up too easily. Often they come in only one colour…black, and this compounds the problem.
I kept my worms in two large bathtubs that I placed on stands in an open shed in my backyard. This allowed enough volume that if the air temperature got fairly high, the centre of the farm was still relatively cool (about 28 degrees) and the worms would retreat to this area. There was sufficient airflow around the tubs as they were raised and I kept a number of moist hassion bags on the surface.
The other benefit of using bathtubs is that the plughole in the bottom can be easily fitted with a tap to allow easy access to the worm juice which as you know is an excellent fertiliser.
The only downside to this system is that access to the castings isn't as easy as the modular systems as you have to move the worms and the top layer of vegetable scraps etc to get to it. I actually enjoy this part though as it gives me a good opportunity to check the health of the worms.
I hope this helps.
