Yesss a place to talk about the little poop noodles! I’ve had a bin going for about 2 years. I use a stacking bin with 5 trays. After starting it, I realised that the whole CFT idea doesn’t work as well as I was expecting, so essentially I treat them as independent bins that the wormies are able to move between freely.

I’ve found that a pretty laid back approach to feeding them works the best for me. Whenever I have kitchen scraps, I toss them on top. I add a small part of our coffee grounds (we drink a good amount), the rest goes straight into the garden. And whenever I feed I toss in a similar amount of dry shredded cardboard. When a tray is full, I move another one to the top and start feeding that.

For bedding, I just use the cardboard I toss in continuously, and lots of small bits of browns that are too big to be composted by the worms. Like small sticks, some corn cobs that went in whole (the worms love to chill inside them), a load of pistachio shells that have been in there for a year that the baby worms always sit in, etc. Whenever I sift out a tray all that stuff just goes right back into the new one I’m filling, the worms seem to love it.

Seems to work well for me! Only problem I ran into recently was we had a lot of rain, and apparently so much moisture got in through the air holes that parts of the bin turned anaerobic. Which apparently attracted a whole lot of ants. Fortunately I managed to dry out the bin a bit, and got rid of most of the ants. So all’s well in noodle town again.

I’m so glad to have found a reddit alternative that I actually want to use. I just joined yesterday, but I’m really liking it so far. And I love the general air of friendliness y’all seem to have cultivated here!

I wasn’t planning on going back to Reddit, but I don’t think I’ll be able to resist watching the dumpster fire 🔥

That’s a really lovely post you wrote. Being able to recognise the good moments is so important.

Are you me? I woke up today thinking “I should go to the fantasy community I found and make a post about finding Cosmere people”. Yesssss!

I just finished another reread of the Stormlight Archive. It still surprises me that I spot new things and form new theories after so many reads. I’d love to talk about them but I haven’t found spoiler tags yet 😅

Yay, I found this place!

I think there’s an issue with spoiler tags on Jerboa (as in, they don’t work). Gonna test it to make sure

Test spoiler text

Is that the correct formatting? If so, it indeed doesn’t work on Jerboa :(

I mostly play big campaign games with my partner, for example currently we’re playing Frosthaven and Oathsworn (and have Aeon Trespass lined up). Other favourites are Aeon’s End, Spirit Island, Terraforming Mars. Me and my friends have a strong preference for cooperative games!

Some more low key games that we tend to bring out with friends who don’t game a lot are Isle of Cats, Thunderbirds, Namiji, and The Crew.

Me too! Haha your color palette is so grating because the colors are all wrong to me 😅 Interesting that some of them don’t have a color, is it really nothing at all or just not as strong of a connection?
