Sigh...still haven't turned my outside compost. Last time I opened it, the flies were crazy out there! I so need to get better at the turning. AND maybe use the stuff. LOL I always sort of wondered about using compost though that has been made from non-organic fruits and veggie scraps. We cannot eat totally organic (although we try our best especially with the worst items) so I sort of wondered about that. Maybe I should just use that on the front lawn or something, and use the garden waste one for the garden. Any thoughts? Sounds great! Sigh...still haven't turned my outside compost.

No complaints here! :) Rachel, it seemed to be the thicker layers of shredded paper and cardboard on top that really dealt with my fruit fly issue as well. Not sure why, but I'm glad to hear that it worked for someone else as well! Sarah, it really is simple- hope you give it a try! Kathy, no sleep or not, the newborn is lovely. No complaints here! :)

My husband bought me a tiered worm bin (manufactured in Bellingham) for Mother's Day. We did have a fruit fly problem for a bit, but were not sure if it was caused by that, so it is out on a sheltered porch until it gets too cold for them. The flies are no longer present as I filled an empty tray with a thick layer of dry shredded paper and placed that on the top. I'm excited to start using some of the product to be ammending our garden beds throughout the fall and winter and I've already been able to use several small buckets of worm tea.
