New FT and divided worm inn

I just divided my worm inn and placed half into a new FT bin.

The new FT bin has a nominal cross section of 12" x 24" and is about 24" deep. I built it of scrap tung and grove 1x6 pine paneling on 2x2 legs with some white-coated wire shelving (closet-made type) as the bottom rack. At this point the flow thru is filled about 7 inches deep.

Sure the pine will rot and fail but I am sure I have at least three years of heavy use. I guess when/if it comes to it I can just screw some new ply over the old T&G walls.

I then added a heavy feeding to both bins with liberal addition of new bedding. Across both bins I added a 3 gallon bucket of freeze-thaw kitchen scraps - the bucket was almost evenly split between them.

I hope both bins recover and start to process food fast. I had to expand from just one worm inn as we were producing (what I thought was) too much kitchen scraps for just the one bin.
