Grubs in the Compost!
So I was checking out my balcony compost today, and I found a bunch of crinkly white critters in there...how did they get in there? What are they? Are they helpful or hurtful to my composting efforts? I'm pretty sure these are grubs (japanese beetles?). Grubs are considered a terror in the garden, but in the compost pile they definitely lend a hand in breaking down the waste. Especially since my balcony compost setup is a "cold compost" effort, I have no problem with these little guys spending time here to help. Any of you out there finding these in your composting efforts?
