I've read somewhere (I thought here but can't find it now) of someone who used vermicompost as the deep litter method for quail bedding for an indoor pen. We are in the middle of building a new indoor 10' x 4' pen with the intent to try the deep litter vermicompost. I thought I better re-read on what the worms need and more each thread I find is saying the poop will be too hot and kill the worms. I hope no one tells my husband because it's already a done deal
Anyone able to share experiences with composing with deep little indoors? My intent was to reduce cleaning, reduce smell, cut down on the dust spread (we are making a semi contained shower unit with sand only to encourage them to bath there), use up the spilled food waste, compost my kitchen scraps and then use the compost soil in the garden / container gardening in the winter.
In theory good sounds excellent, now if only could find the thread with the person that did it successfully to make sure four cubic feet of soil full of worms isn't going to go to waste!
