Answer 14

It’s doing it’s job

Answer 15

If you don't want creatures, try mixing petroleum jelly with sharp sand and 'painting ' it under the rim of the biin - or twist or wrinkle a length of cooking foil into a rope that you can fix beneath the mouth of the bin as a barrier.

@tala9398 they're doing vermicomposting? The point is to get the worm castings. that would kill them

This lady does education about it. You can break down a ton of compost with worms a lot faster

@calve23 I've caused confusion. I am very much pro-worms- to the point of two well occupied compost bins. I meant no offense- simply intended to put forward the possibility of not having them where they're not wanted as an alternative to chemical treatments. Oops!  

---

@tala9398 ohhh okay lol inside i was just nooo not the wormmys!

They're good lil ones who just eat trash

Answer 16

It's the redworms that are making the composting happen, well. they play a big part.  

Answer 17

I'd use them for fishing

Answer 18

Excuse me because my limited education of composting is an episode of Peppa Pig. But in that grandpa pig (yes this is my life now. ) said that it was the worms that help make the compost? Is this right?  I don't really get it to be honest!  

Comments

@aleksandr1 yer they do. Pepper pig has taught you a lot. See this is why adults need to watch more cartoons.! lol. Worms are vital to a good compost heap. The more you have the better the compost. Lol you can buy a worn bin where you add food scraps and the worms eat away at it then it produces a good fertilising liquid that falls to the bottom of the bucket with a little tap and you use it as a liquid feed  

Answer 19

Omg ! Couldnt stand that ?  

Comments

Glad it's not spiders. I'd have to jump off something high.  

Answer 20
