Is it possible to have too many worms?

 

Under and around the rim of my "Dalek"(plastic compost bin) there are
reddish worms trying to escape.
I introduced these worms I had remaining after a fishing trip last summer,
dendrobaena I think.
Forgive me for my ignorance but have I created an environment that they
don't like?
All that is in the bin is organic refuse from the garden and kitchen, and
no cooked stuff.

Sorry about this but I have more questions for you later when I understand
and absorb these basic questions I have already asked you all:(

Thanks again

It may be that the compost is slightly too dry since brangling worms
like a
warm, damp atmosphere. Open the bin, dampen the surface, turn as
much as you
can, and knock the worms into the compost.

I have two "Dalek"  type bins and when I lift the lids off there are always
a lot of earthworms around the rim, probably just a thing that worms do!!

 


Would you want to sleep in your food?
Give them a break, let them rest, they will go back when they want
more food.
