No - but when I move the bins out into the greenhouse I'll probably make more use of manure to feed them. I have been dumping collected rabbit scat into my containers tho. It's a mild manure that doesn't need much if any composting prior to application.
I've since built an enclosure in the pit to house my tropicals this winter. It's not covered yet, but even with a frost this morning leaving ice on the car and grass, the plants down in the pit only got a heavy dew and nothing has browned or wilted. There be something to that earth-mass thing. I'll finish it this week and get it covered sometime in November unless we have a hard-freeze here soon.
I couldn't afford to fully enclose the pit this year, so this is what will get me thru the winter this time and next year I'll enclose the rest:
There are a lot more plants inside now, with more to be stuffed in there. I have 15' headroom too - good for the nanners that will grow tall over the winter:
Be well,
Mike

Worms are doing great now and about to split out 3 more beds in a week or so. I get quite abit of castings now but need to increase production before spring for my new and transplants.
Let me know if you did and the results.
I'd also like to add, your greenhouse is awesome and gave me the idea to make a lean-to for my plants. If I can get past codes, I'll post the pics.
Thanx for your help, guidance, and inspiration!
