    Can’t argue with any of that. Sounds like you and the worms doing great!

    The consistent habitat is something I’ve never thought about. I do mix castings from one side to the new side in amongst the new bedding to accelerate the bacterial load and help the process of breakdown, I always imagined the biochar helps with that too on the microscopic level. I suppose a lot of worms hang out in weird places in my farm as well; down below in the channeling that’s been created on the wood base, on the sides, on the lip etc.

    Make sure you add !composting@slrpnk.net like @drk@slrpnk.net said. At some point in the future, who knows where the niche stuff will go once the community fills up.

      Yeah I saw the composting community and subbed right away! I only joined Lemmy yesterday, so still getting my bearings, but it’s been so nice to hunt for all these small niche communities.

        I just checked and it’s still reading 2 subscribers. Wonder how long it takes to update.

        A lot to learn for all of us… Have fun with it all!

          Interesting: on slrpnk.net (so where the community lives) I see ‘3 users’ and a whopping ‘17 subscribers’. On lemmy.ml, the community shows ‘3 users’ but only ‘2 subscribers’. And it doesn’t seem that being a mod gives you any more numbers or insights whatsoever.
