Can we not just get rid of the traffic instead?

My mouth ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Probably worth potting on once into a slightly bigger pot, the extra food should encourage some new leaf growth, but in my experience they flower and then senesce.

Don't split them, the added stress will encourage flowering.

Might be a factor of living well north of the equator and shorter days (Scotland), but overwintering is not something that's possible for us. It's an annual plant: grow, flower, seed, die.

Better to sow more seed or buy another supermarket pot and pot in on straight away so it never gets a chance to be stressed by lack of nutrients.

Tried to grow them in our greenhouse and failed. (Scotland)

No idea where to buy them, just pointing they're quite hard to grow here.

Yeah, we move ours into our glass house over winter. I also made it an insulated jacket out of plasticky padded envelopes and duct tape ๐Ÿ˜€

It's come through temperatures of -7C that way. The worms will all go deep and huddle to stay warm.

I'm assuming a worm farm is what we call a wormery in Britain. The main thing about wormeries and bokashi is they can take cooked food waste, that's not usually advised for composting.

So in part I think it depends what your source material will be.

Our wormery can get a bit whiffy, though it's not noticeable until you take the lid off to put more stuff in. Still, not sure I'd want it inside. Bokashi seems designed for indoors.

Every couple of weeks during the summer, once a month over the winter. Used to do it weekly, but decided I should probably let it heat up more between turns.

I do it by getting a fork and properly turning and mixing it. Very physically demanding!

I only really have the one 800 litre bin though. I think the let it sit strategy works better when you have 2 or more, just layer well and let nature do the mixing!

Ours go into the recycling. Not sure what they get recycled into. Have a vague memory of them getting shredded and mixed with resin to make insulation boards.
