do compost bins create worms?
hi my mums just bought a compost bin
i was just enquiring into wheather they create worms as im into fishing and would be cheaper really any help will do
A properly working compost gets too hot for worms to live in. However, the cooler edges are ideal for Red worms. These worms may be called manure worms, puss worms or red wrigglers and I'm sure several other pet names. They survive the active hot manure piles so, they make ideal worms for regular compost piles.
These are absolutely the best worms for pan fish. When the hook pierces the worm they emit a yellow juice, hence the name pus worm. it does have a smell that attracts fish like crazy. Use the lightest line and a hook no bigger than a 10. I use a quill for a bobber. Don't put the sinker closer than 18 closer to the hook. Usually the fish hit the worm as the hook is still sinking. With this rig and pus worms I'll guarantee you'll not find another system that can come close to this one.
I teach Jr. Master Gardener classes to about 150 students a year. One of our projects is raising Red worms in compost bins. The only time we had any failures was when adults added too much water and everything became rancid. We had to leave notes on the bin to leave the bins alone. We'd throw fresh food from the cafeteria lundhes we just ate onto the bins accumalation. The worms did the rest. We did moniter the dampness though. The worms multiplied like crazy. I always had more than enough to use on my fishing trips. Buy one container of the Red worms at the start of the season and you'll not have to buy anymore that year.
Compst bins can't create worms like the old theory of "Spontaneous Generation" but, they will help the worms thrive and multiply.

yeah they do, but they wouldn't affect your hygiene within your home, garden etc.

no d
but when you put the compst in the soil it sure does because of the rich organic matter

No. Like all other creatures, worms create worms

They don't CREATE them like they don't actually just appear out of thin air but if you put worms into a compost bin they will reproduce quickly. We have a compost bin at home and there are hundreds in there.

yes it really does!!!!
lol
NO WAT KIND OF QUETION IS DAT!!! HOW CAN DEAD FRUIT (WHICH IS DEAD) MAK A WORM (DAT IS ALIVE).

a compost bin without worms is as good as a car with no petrol.

Encourage worms, Yes
Create worms, No

Compost bins do not "create" worms, but if the compost pile is balanced properly and working correctly, the worms will be attracted to it from the surrounding soil. At first, if it's working properly, it will be too hot for them. But as the material decomposes, it will cool and be an excellent home for them.

One difference with “earthworms” which will find your compost heap and “Red Wigglers” is their reproduction rate… Red wigglers multiply MUCH faster.
if you build it they will come…. many people buy worms to aid the digestion of their compost ,but it is not necessary. if your pile contacts the ground the worms will move in provided it is the correct dampness,too wet they can't breathe to dry they can't maintain their hydration.during a rain they will climb high into it to escape flooded tunnels.

Good info.. I find it pretty easy to compost once you are in the mindset that a lot of the fruit and vegetables you discard could easily be added to a compost box. Worms help in the decomposition process are invaluable
I created my compost bin from discarded 3×3 pallets. They worked out pretty well.
If anyone is interested, I added the steps and pictures of the process.
