Meaning, you could pre-compost your material for a few weeks or less and then feed that to the worms (this sounds a bit like your "ick factor" bucket but on a larger scale). From what I've read this results in a cleaner, more stable, and broken down food for the worms to eat. If that is the case, do you think it would be less difficult to overfeed your worms? Would I be able to feed the worms bigger portions with less frequency? I'm processing quite a bit of waste but am limited by space. I'd like to be able to empty the pre-composted material into a bin with bedding and worms and place the bin on a shelf to make room for the next week's batch. These bins will likely be pallet-sized and lifted by forklift so I wouldn't want to take them down more than once a month if I can avoid it. I've done a lot of research on this the last few weeks and haven't found many people willing to share. Thank you for your detailed posts!
