    Composting with Phoenix worms

    They definitely can be used inside. I am planning on setting a separate bin and then order some. It will definitely make composting much faster and more efficient.

    Dealing with mold

    Bleach does not kill mold. That is a myth you need a cleaner that can kill the mold, then scrub or even sand the walls Here is a product that is pretty good, but check your local walmart, lowes or home depot for similar products http://www.propertyperfections.net/Kill-Basement-Mold-s/109.htm
