At my end with the swarms of mosquito's from my worm bin, please help!
Every spring and summer my worm bin is infested with mosquito. While not harmful the bin is on my balcony and I'd like to enjoy the outside as well. Also, my neighbors have made comments about it...
I don't know what to do anymore.
I've tried putting a hemp map on top of the compost to keep the mosquito out. But the worm ended up eating the mat in weeks AND it made adding stuff to the bin/scooping the compost around a lot harder.
I'm already adding a lot of cardboard to the bin but it doesn't seem to be composting much. In the end I'll be left with compost with lots of paper through it. So I've kind of been limiting how much I add. It's still 50/50 to the amount of greens I put it.
The spout to let out the juice is perpetually open, I did that to hopefully limit the amount of wetness. But it's not really helping.
Worm seem really happy though, I have a lot, and the compost is going well.
What else can I try?
