Newsprint these days is better than before but still avoid the
glossy stuff and all<br>
those inserts.<br>

Vericomposting does take effort to harvest the worms.<br>
You really need two bins running in parallel like any composter<br>
since there is a latency between your organic scraps and compost.<br>
<br>
If you wanted to automate, I'd take some ideas from the humus toilet<br>
companies. I've had one of these at the cottage for 10 years.
Needs<br>
replacing and am thinking of one from this company:<br>

I'm a little afraid of chemicals in paper. I understand once the
compost is ready, you can use that instead of paper.

<div>Aside from adding the waste stuff, what other maintenance is
there?</div>

<div>I was thinking of making it automatic. You put junk in one
end and soil shows up a the other end. Perhaps can grow some
stuff in the soil. </div>

Hi,<br>
I had a vermi-composter setup in my office at Nortel for a
couple<br>
of years. That was in 1995 and I can't recall where I got
the red worms.<br>
Used a rubbermaid box or something like that.<br>
You need a good supply of newsprint to keep them happy and
having<br>
access to a paper shredder makes it a lot less work. No
meat.<br>
You get a good surplus of worms that are great for fishing!<br>

Can balcony composting work in this climate?<br>
