"Just start your bin with part or all of it on the earth and the worms will
appear"
Well that is what I have said for ages because that is what happened, BUT,
someone on here a while back asked 'Where are the worms?'
I am now asking the same question on established bins. Very few worms. Why?

Mine tends to be on the damp cool side, and have plenty.

Too much fungus? Worms don't like the competition.

Not been in there long enough to produce fungus and there might be the
answer, not long enough to produce 'something nice' for the worms :-))
