worms in compost bin?


I have had a compost bin for about 2 years now .but just recently it has got a lot of smallish red worms in ( I only ever put in compostable stuff). Is this normal only asking ,because to be honest they are revolting and it puts me of using it

Honestly you have the best thing going for you for your compost pile. There are a lot of people out there that pay good money to get their red worms shipped to them…and some that even go so far as to drain off the "juice" that comes out of their worm bins to put it on their gardens. Keep adding stuff to your compost bin…think of the worms as your little helpers. They are only speeding up the composting process.

    Unless you put the worms in there I don’t think so. Perhaps some kind of insect got in your bin and laid eggs. I have a compost bin and I don’t have those. I recommend that you toss the compost right away. But not into your garden! These maggots may be harmful to whatever you are growing. If possible, you should look up the species.
