If you got mites you might have too much food in the bin. Don't add anything for a couple weeks and they should clear up for the most part.I have a bin going great guns, but seems it's become a bit funky, with LOTS of mites. I've read this can be from acidic conditions. I've been adding a wide range of fruit and veg scrap along with eggshells and forest humus (aspen grove area).
Any thought show to bring it to better balance without having to outsource other inputs? I really don't want to have to buy stuff to feed them.
And if its funky...yea I'm thinking too much food.
