Temperatures of the bins are monitored regularly to ensure temperatures are within the proper range.Ĭompost is very versatile. The newspaper strips hold moisture and contain air spaces for the worms.
For the process to be successful, the worms need moisture, air, food, darkness and warm (but not hot) temperatures.

The worms eat the nutrient rich fruit and vegetables, turning them into compost.
