Escaping worms

The worms were running out of the worm bin because the temperature was too high inside the bin. The composting occurred too rapidly since we blended the kitchen scraps into "worm slush" as advised by some worm farmer in Australia - this is aiming to control fruit flies (so that the worms can get to the food faster than flies laying eggs) and speed up the compositing. But the compost rot too quickly generating heat. Worms were all running to the corners to escape from the heat and some even escape from the tab where the worm tea dripped from. We had to remove the compost into a separate bin and the rotting sweet potato really smells bad. At least the worms are cooled off now.
