Not mad at the worm castings smudging all over the compost tumbler! Only issue is that the worms are throwing off my compost tumbler results... I've been loading this thing for way longer than expected because the worms just break everything down quicker. I'm curious to see how long they'll stick around before they burrow down in the colder months...

I added two red wigglers several months ago, and now I have tons of them. I didn't think they would last, let alone multiply, let alone stick around when the compost is cooking. If they wanted to leave, they could exit through the air holes or the drainage vents... I'm really surprised they're hanging around. How much longer will they last? We'll see...

When conditions are favorable, they'll stick around and break down the material. To keep the tumbler balanced, I add food scraps once a week, tumble it, open up the lid and add enough leaves to cover the whole surface of the contents. Seeing the worms stick around week after week is a good gauge that the compost is going well, and they're making my job easier!
