Been feeding meat to one bin

[Jay Blair]

For the last 2 months , I have been blending meat and water to feed and water one bin of indigenous earthworms harvested from the leaf pile.

The worms in that bin are out performing the other bins in size and casting production.

Even though the bedding is the same ratio of leaves and paper as the vegetable scrap slurry fed bins, the castings are much darker also.

As there are plenty of rove beetles in the bin to assist in decomp, maggots , flies and odor hasn't been an issue.

I was thinking about adding fish parts from cleaning fish to my outside bins when I start fishing in the spring. Wouldn't fish parts decompose pretty fast in a bin?

Of course. Just be careful of adding bones into the mix if you perform bin turning by hand.

Outside bins will be more attractive to possums or armilos depending on your area if you bury fish guts. Both can smell delicacies to their pallats at depths of about 9 inches easily.
