It has been a while since my last update and all the food was consumed by the worms and with that they really started to spread out in the pine shavings in search. All the worms still look very healthy and I even saw one cocoon right at the beginning. Hopefully more food will help them continue to breakdown the shavings.

Looks like the heater underneath has warmed the bins up a bit too much and dried them out. It has been a rough month with highs in the 80s and lows in the 30s which can be hard to balance out.

I received a Vitamix Eco 5 a new FoodCycler and have been testing it for over a week and one of the foods requested has been corn so. Other foods I've tried has been peach pits, mango seeds, chicken bones, and pistachio shells. I can say this machine is stout and had no trouble.

This is not Vitamix's first FoodCycler but I'm excited to see what they have learned and how well this can breakdown some of the waste my household produces from bananas, peaches, apples, chicken, and more.

The food scraps are really starting to break down and disappear into the worm bin. The rate at which items are disappearing is faster but some items seem to be unchanged and will probably still need to be buried in the ground or I will need to find some other way to compost them. Chicken bones seem to be the biggest culprit as far as resisting the microbes and worms. However the lobster shells are getting surprisingly soft and easily break apart when I put some pressure on them. Hopefully this is a good sign and the worms will continue to peel away at the minerals holding the shells together!
My goal of reducing my food waste to near zero might be harder than I thought. and I will have to try and find another way.

I followed the same steps I did before when making LAB and it worked. This time it didn't go quite the same way and I'm not sure if the rice was failed or something else happened. Let me know in the comments if you think this failed or succeeded? Either way I'll be making more Lactic Acid Bacteria for my worms and Bokashi system!
