Worms are happy. Anyone know how to keep the fruit flies in the worm bin under control?

Try to freeze fruit/vegetables before putting it in worm bin. It woked for me (we kept worm bin in apartment and didn't have problem with flies). Good luck with it 👌
I have frozen most of it, but didn't for a few rounds. Back to freezing all. Thanks.

Don't put food scraps, use other organic matter.
If you must use food scraps, make sure you're feeding only what they consume on a rolling two day basis.
This is good advice, but you won't know how much to feed until you bring back to neutral territory so don't feed what they don't eat swiftly and then gradually raise the ceiling until you manage this sweet spot J recommends.
Thank you very much.
Fruit flies are doing their job, laying their little ones to help break the stuff down.
I don't mind them....
I keep a 2-3 inch layer of shredded papers (all that junk mail put to work) on top. If it gets too bad, a light coating of diatomaceous earth will help. Also bulk feed once every two weeks instead of continuously.
I started doing that. I'm using newspaper out through a shredder. I'll definitely be fine tuning the feed cycle. Thanks.
