My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

vermicomposting

8 years ago

I started my bin two days ago. I checked inside today--I had not added any food yet--and there must be the larger part of an entire nest of ants in it. Should I be worried?

    Ants hate a very moist bin. Keep it damper than usual, closer to soggy for a few days and they might move out.
