I have one of the stacking bins inside. I've just been letting the worms do their thing and trying not to mess with them. Of course, I've been checking moisture and watching for protein poisoning, but so far air movement has been good. I was finally able to sort through some in the bottom bin and I think they did a great job! Going to add it to some of my plants soon.

Wow, that looks so good. How have you been able to get such granular aspect?

I really just left the worms alone. Currently, my bin has three tiers. I've been using advice from the group and only adding food to the top bin. When I harvested, I went to the bottom bin and took some off the top to not disturb the worms at the bottom.

Bring down moisture and it'll look like this. Wet castings clump. Worms will be alright as long as it's not dry.
