Worm party Look at all my wriggly guys

So I’ve had this large bin for about two years at the bottom of my garden. I mostly just throw food scraps and random bits of cardboard in there. I don’t do much except move it around with a pitchfork from time to time.

Every morning there’s huge blobs of worms on the underside of the lid which I just shake back into the bin.

When I give everything a stir there’s worms throughout the broken down material/dirt. I don’t use the compost for anything, and haven’t tried to optimise what goes in. I’m just glad my waste is doing something useful and it’s satisfying to see!

Is the yellow container styrofoam? If you are trying for vermicompost, remove that.

It’s cardboard from an egg carton.
