GOT WORMS?

[builder0101]

I have a small stationary bin and the green material I had put in was mounded up I went to spread the pile around inside the bin and I discovered a biomass of red worms there must beliterally tens of thousands of them and this is a small bin. I don't mean some worms scattered throughout the compost. I mean "Bio mass" wierd and delightful. Wish I knew a fisherman.

Yea it's good stuff. There are so many it is just unbelievable. They are going to reduce my compost to nothing but black gold. I guess they know where to go when it feezes. What should I feed them I.E. green compost? I do not produce much green material in the winter but they probably fly south for the winter anyway. Maby I'll take a picture of them. Does everyones compost turn into a worm farm?

Thanks,

Mike.

when this happens to me, I split them and make a new bin. then I get double the waste reduction in a short amount of time. then split again when its full of wigglers! selling some to people for starting there own bin helps you and others.
