I have had my worm farm for about 5-6 yrs.
My instructions from the worm people says no meat, citrus or onions.
If you feed scraps/peelings /crushed egg shells/shredded paper, there should be no smell. My WF smells damp, no bad odour. In fact it is suppose to smell like the floor of the rain forest?
I have never been to a rain forest!
My worm farm is out in the garen all year round, our winter is mild, lowest min would be about 2C (average night min would be around >8C).
My tip would be to catch all the worm tea in a separate bin/ container and leave the tap turn on at all times (ie. the tap which is always 'on' with the bin underneath).
This is because the lower tray needs to drained regulary every few days, otherwise the little worms would drown on the tier above.
If you leave the tap on, there would be no issues with the worm tea over flowing and the winter rain.
I don't know if I make sense.
Anyway, I think everyone should have a worm farm, it is great for the orchids/ garden and the environment! How good is 'free' fertilizer'!
That is my 2 cents!
