Do I understand you to say that I should not add worms until the bin sits for 2 weeks?

@TahshaTPitsMe - Maggots come into the system from flies laying eggs in the compost one of the things you can try is putting a piece of small mesh shade cloth over the top of the compost to stop so many flies getting in and laying their eggs. This may help. I agree with the compost guy you certainly don't need to start again.

Such a simple video to follow, thanks Bentley!
I found that exact container model in my basement earlier, time for the worms! So stoked.

Hi, I started my compost based on this video, Thank You :D . But I have some doubts: How often do I have to mix the compost? and How often do I have to dampen?

@gershom44 - what do you mean by "covering"?
TheCompostGuy 1 year ago
@TheCompostGuy as far as the top of the container? will a basic cover do

@gershom44 - the lid that comes with these sorts of tubs should work ok as long as you make sure to put lots of air holes in it. You may also opt to keep the system lidless (great for air flow) - just make sure to always keep a really thick layer of bedding materials (shredded cardboard etc) up top at all times (not a bad idea in general for that matter).

I recently started my own compost, but What are the friendly bugs we are looking for? Not maggots right??? That's what I've got in mine, Do I have to start all over??? Please help

@TahshaTPitsMe - There aren't too many bugs I would consider "harmful". Often when you see an explosion of a certain type of critter it means you are feeding too much. If your "maggots" are large they are very likely black soldier fly larvae. They are not directly harmful to worms, but over time they may reduce the habitat quality. Try feeding only shredded cardboard for awhile. You definitely don't need to start over entirely.
