No, I don't find any other bugs when it's time to harvest the compost. I stop adding food scraps for two weeks or so before, so I suppose that's why. If the bin contains a lot of food scraps, then yes, at that time I'll see other bugs in the bin as part of the ecosystem. You’re welcome, Trisha.

I was concerned that they were too big and the worms would crawl out, but the worms stay in the bin with no trouble. The bottom bin does collect worm tea. I don't need to add water to the bin, because fruit and vegetable scraps usually add enough. Good luck with your bin! The holes are about a quarter-inch across.

What size holes did you make in the bottom of the top bin? Did the bottom bin collect "tea"? I cant wait to try it myself. I am planning to get to the store this week to start and order worms this weekend! I just have one question. What size holes did you make in the bottom of the top bin?
