My friend said I need a Rabbi and to hold a Shiva afterwards to properly bury the spider

1. Fill the old bin with shredded cardboard

2. Soak the cardboard in water and wring it out and add it to the bin

3-4. Feed the worms and mix it in (potato peels, chopped up baby carrots, 2 chopped up apples, 4 chopped up old soft tomatoes) plus some of the cardboard

5-6. Old lettuce and spinach added (I don't normally "waste" this much, my fridge froze them and the texture was ruined)

7. Mixed it all in

8. Wrung out more cardboard and added it on top. **Should I mix this in as well?** I still have some wet cardboard left but it felt like too much, but I guess it's hard for it to be too much when the system was bad

9. How the bin looks from the side now

10. I have an old curtain to put on top so I can still check on it. No lid underneath

I recently got 2000 worms from Jim's worm farm because I accidentally killed my last batch after accidentally ignoring them for 2 weeks and the soil dried out (I have a poor sense of time and my routine is very consistent so I didn't notice how long it had been and I was devastated when I realized what happened)

The previous bin was WAY too small for that amount of worms and they kept escaping and I was finding them EVERYWHERE (most of them being dried up, sadly) Even tho I swapped the bin a few days ago, I JUST found 2 live ones hiding under a bag of craft stuff.

Anyway, I just woke up and decided to check on them only to find this.

Now there is a lamp on top to keep them off the walls. I have plant grow lights nearby that keep them down during the day (as well as some natural light) so this will have to be on all night

Also, the last pic is of the last bin for scale to show their upgrade and yet they're still not happy.

NO MORE LATE NIGHT WORM PARTIES IN MY APARTMENT
