winter challenges
It's starting to be consistently below freezing, and I wasn't able to shred leaves in time before the snow. Luckily, I still have a trash can's worth in the yard and a bunch of food scraps...and a bunch of worms. I added my stuff to the pile at mid day to minimize any last heat escaping while I opened it up. I'm surprised they've stuck around in the large bin- it certainly helps for when the composting process slows to a crawl. The trash can composter is completely stopped, so I'm trying to figure out how to get that kickstarted again- too small of a system to add compost toilet material to, and it's filled to the brim anyway. How have you been handling the colder temperatures?
