GOT WORMS?
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.

If not you should take a look.builder0101 wrote: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.
