How are worms formed?
If I have organic matter in a compost bin outside, will worms eventually form inside the bin?
If I keep a compost bin indoors, will worms form inside the bin?
How is it that worms develop when meat is left out on the countertop for a long time or in a garbage can in the hot summer; did the meat already have dormant worms?
No, worms dont just 'form'. Earthworms will come along to your compost heap and help break it down. The worms you talk about on rotting meat are maggots that appear there because flies come along and lay their eggs on the meat, and the eggs hatch and out come the maggots. This is so the maggots have something to feed on as they grow, before they too become flies.
