Hi Mark,
Thanks! Good advice and info (again). I agree with starting slow and mucho research.... Awesome with the 1lb of worms growing as you've said.
Gotta go! --Ed
Thanks Sue!
The small freezer is probaly the right size. In the winter where I live, the outside temp drops below freezing during the winter. I use the freezer to freeze stuff overnite to use the following day.
Thanks for your tip.
Mark,
with 20 25 lb. of worm you might need a little bigger than a small freezer.
Hi Ed,
I was told that if I can keep 1000 worms alive for 4 seasons, I will have a pretty good grip on how to vermicompost. Starting slow with a good deal of research is, to me, very wise.
My 1 pound of worms has grown to about 20 - 25 pounds. I am…
Hi Mark,
Thanks for the info... I'll be checking every possible avenue for info as I am very serious about moving forward.
Over the past few days the temp in the garage had stayed around 75-80 throughout the hotter part of the day. I notice a sign…
Ed,
I add more greens in the winter, which give off decomposing heat but not that much.
Maybe Benley's site has an idea how to keep a bin warm in the winter. My garage got down to zero degrees but my bin stayed about 65 - 70 degrees. Hmmm..... how d…
Hi Mark, Sue, and Eve!
Thanks for this info. I checked the temp yesterday and it was 108 in the "proposed site" with the sun sitting right on top of it - ARGH!. Better half says OK to consider operations in garage - much more convenient than baseme…
Thanks for the links Eve.
I saw the one from WormDigest about 7 or 8 mths ago when I was "educating" myself about vermicomposting and have forgotten about them. Very interesting material.
Truth to be told i didn't know OSCR's came this big 3'x4' . It sounds like serious home vermicomposting.
I found this article its probably the one you found.

Eve, I did find the OSCR jr but not the full size.
"Now is the time to start taking action. I plan to start off with a 1 or more OSCR Jr Bins in the basement over the winter. My intent is to be able to start up a full-size OSCR spring 2010."
There are direction on how to build an Oscar Jr. bin in our Wiki. In the Building a bin section. Click Oscar Jr.

Ed,
I have 4 bins in my garage where daytime temps were up to the 100s for at least 14 days. I added more crbons to the bin and froze the fresh food before feeding them, the bin temp stayed to about 80 but never over 85 degrees.
I covered my bin wit…
Hi Ed,
I have googled for the full-size OSCR, curious about it, but couldn't find it. What size would it be?
