Harvest, Fluff, Feed, Measure, Gnat Management 
This bin was made from cutting a 55 gallon food grade barrel in half long ways and screwing the open ends together to make a 6 foot long bin.

The bin lives in the cellar of my 200-year-old house.  In the winter the furnace dries it out, and in the wet season the moisture leaching through the bricks makes the basement very humid. The current set up was started near the first of the year 2021 after the wormpocolypse.  A rat was in the basement and all the bins had to be moved to totes and buckets with lids on to protect them.  When the rat was ended, I added 4 or more of the in-progress bins/ buckets with the compost mix of red, blue and European nightcrawlers in them to fill the big blue bin. I continued to add ground leaves and food.  Currently the bin is undergoing a refresh. I am harvesting the castings as the top of the bin dries and adding new bedding and food.  Keeping the moisture even in the bin is difficult in the wet summer. I flip or fluff the bin to keep the air in the bedding.  Back to the wedge method starting now.
