Catch the beginning here: Compost Happens...I Hope
***
So I
added too much newspaper, water, and yeast, too many nuked-and-frozen
banana peels, and too little soil. And in less than a week's time,
I'd become the world's most successful indoor farmer. Of gnats, that
is. I fished out and trashed the banana peels, tried to rearrange and
dry out the bins a bit, and made approximately five thousand
fruit-fly traps. At two weeks, the feeding frenzy finally commenced!
Tragically, not of the
worms, but on the
worms. My poor little wriggly babies. The damn fruit flies had laid
eggs in my compost bin and were literally eating my invertebrate farm
animals alive! Noooooooooo!!! It was the most disgusting thing ever.
