Hello -
Just started a small compost bin (trash can with small air holes all over) in the city! I've got lots of extra shredded leaves, some vegetable matter, plant scraps, and am going to try to get coffee grounds. My question is whether (since it's a closed container in our paved back area) whether it would be useful to try to throw some red wigglers in there this summer as well.
Will it get too hot? Will they just get killed if I roll the can around to mix the compost? It seems as if most people either have a pile that gets worms anyway since it's outdoors and open, or is doing strict vermicomposting. I just wanted to get my compost done faster in the bin!
Thanks!
