Ah, that answers an important question I had - wasn’t sure whether to give it oxygen. But sealing it up should keep the mosquito population at bay. Very much looking forward to it.
Out of curiosity, do you ever make worm tea from castings? Sounds like no with your flow.
I used to but decided the work wasn’t worth it. And, after reading a few comments from people that were heavily into it, I figured that the ideal aerated tea is difficult to achieve for the home layperson. The timing window is tiny to get a quality brew, plus it requires extra additives (carboydrates). The whole point of my farm was it was using recycled stuff and the manure is local which I pick up myself, the char I make myself etc.
Under mulch, or inserted into soil with a soil knife, or a slurry is how I apply now. I put the castings into a stainless colander to get the char out and then use a watering can when doing a slurry.
3 I always called “anaerobic composting”. Besides the smell, for me, it’s a good weed killer. Nothing survives in there.
I looked up JADAM and it’s another Korean Natural Farming technique.
