Did I hear my name? I kept that flow thru for a year. In the harvest chamber I had a fan that would pressurize the bin; air would be forced up through the bed to keep it cool. Kansas weather can be extreme: heat, cold, and sustained winds. In my front yard we have some annuals that are in pots. Inside of all these 16 inch pots are a plant and redworms, these pots are mini worm bins. We have had them outside for 3-4 years. Heat snow, cold, wind, drought, hail, and tornados the worms have always survived and repopulated. I have had as many as 4 plastic bins in my house at one time over winter, I was very careful on some of the bad bin issues. However, this past fall I decided to empty out my bins and start brand new. I had an explosion of gnats and the bin had to go into the garage, I have a lot of support from my spouse (which was earned) but, the gnats were a lot to put up so, out they went.
If I had to choose an indoor system, I would go with the Worm Inn. I don’t own one but, from all the stuff I’ve read, I think it is a good choice. A Worm Inn is my next choice for a flow through.
