    I used to have a worm composting bin on my condo balcony and loved it. Then a shitty texas summer happened and I just couldn’t keep the Temps low enough on them (added shade over the bin, ice cubes before leaving for the day, increased humidity in the bin…).

    I miss it. The plants miss it. I can’t wait to start it back up again.

      Worm composting is so cool. I worked on a farm in Florida that had a huge plastic bin full of soil for vermiculture and iirc the worms would go down to the bottom to be cool enough in the summer, but I don’t remember the details.

      If you take care them well and have a space they can be kept indoors and won’t stink up the place. In an apartment might be tough to find room, though.
