He's using the vent pipe technique, mixed with wrapping the whole thing in garden fabric, and loading it with worms. Love it! I also love that he's not turning the pile at all :)
Not mad at the worm castings smudging all over the compost tumbler! Only issue is that the worms are throwing off my compost tumbler results... I've been loading this thing for way longer than expected because the worms just break everything down quicker. I'm curious to see how long they'll stick around before they burrow down in the colder months...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbpSdR4hHXY I added two red wigglers to the Envirocycle compost tumbler, and now there's dozens! When conditions are favorable, they'll stick around and break down the material. To keep the tumbler balanced, I add food scraps once a week, tumble it, open up the lid and add enough leaves to cover the whole surface of the contents. Seeing the worms stick around week after week is a good gauge that the compost is going well, and they're making my job easier!
