Plastics in the Worm Composting System
After a few months of not adding substantial amounts of material to my Worm Inn (I slow down the feeding to my worms in the warmer months), I decided to take it outside and poke around in the castings. There was a good six inches of beautiful, crumbly castings...great stuff! However, there was also several pieces of plastic film...huh? Then I remembered, a few months ago I placed some waxed paper, an ice cream carton, and a chinese food container (without the metal handle)...and that's what's left! I don't recommend adding this kind of stuff to a worm composting system, but my curiosity got the better of me. What's sad is that a large portion of single use paper products have plastic liners embedded in them to keep the contents…
