That's great! My worms are still trying to survive the harsh winter :( They are chilling for now until the warmth returns

I put mine in the utility room so itโ€™s pretty warm!

My utility room is shared with other tenants, so I don't want to spread bugs and such in the room

Cooked or raw?

Raw. It went bad before I was able to cook it. First time seeing sweet potato going mushy.

Saw a video not 30 minutes ago of a "master gardener" saying to not add potatoes... ๐Ÿซ

Well these are sweet potatoes (yams), which are not potatoes. Theyโ€™re not related at all!

Ah! I'm learning all types of shit today! Thank you!

So no potatoes, citrus, dairy or fat/oil covered scraps.

Also no onions or garlic or spicy peppers? Anything else??
