I have killed a bin full of worms. The other bin looks good. I'm hoping that by letting the dead worm bin breath it will recover over time. Right now it's kind of stinky. Not stinky as in overpowering, but stinky as in more smelly than usual. I had the two bins stacked, and I think maybe the lower bin didn't get enough air, and the worms suffocated. I'm hoping that there are viable eggs in there that will recover. Worst case scenario, the whole bin contents gets dumped, maybe into the compost in Rossland. I think I want to keep an eye on this, and see how it goes. If it's really bad, I can dump the whole bin into the garbage bin in the alley. I think the heat may have been a contributing factor. As soon as it started smelling I should have checked it. In fact, I should have clued in when the worms started to leave the bin. Well, the ones that didn't get into the new bin, are now, to the best of my knowledge dead. I'll see how this whole thing goes.
