It’s funny how a back up system can end up working better than our main ones sometimes (and trust me when I say this has happened to me a lot). Hard to say what might have happened with the main bin. Two weeks doesn’t seem like very long. I’d be interested to learn more about where the bin was sitting, what sort of feeding etc it was receiving prior to the neglect…these types of details might give some clues. Anyway – really glad you had the insurance bin to fall back on!

I made one with just a few worms and some cocoons. Life got busy and I neglected my worm bin for a couple of weeks. When I checked on it a few days ago, almost all of the adult worms were gone. I didn’t find any dead worms around the bin, so I don’t know what happened! The bin was almost full by this point, so it was a good time to take the castings out. Thankfully, there were some really healthy adults in the insurance bin. I started over on my main bin, using the insurance worms, and made a new insurance bin using some of the little baby worms I found in the castings. LOVE your blog — I’m learning so much!
