However that was not what you asked. What you asked was how to get the worms to come up and the simple answer would be to use an electrode probe. This is an old fisherman's trick. Hook like a car battery of something to a metal rod in the compost pile and the worms will come to the surface. You can actually see this in the new Godzilla movie.<br><b>References : </b><br> Honestly I’m not sure if the mold would affect the worms as they live in an environment that mold can grow fairly easily so I would assume that they have some defenses for it.
