Good morning, Sandra, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA This video is brilliant! The more friendly Isopods, the better! It's like having friends come to your party and bring good treats, eat 'n' poop!🪱🦠🪱
Fun fact, pill bugs are the only terrestrial crustacean, more closely related to crabs and lobsters than insects. Had crab legs the other night, drying them out to pulverise and add to my worm chow. In my opinion, a healthy worm bin needs all these "critters" to optimize your finished castings, this is why I choose to use mostly natural bedding. Very informative video as always Sandra! Have a nice weekend, Stay Well!!!!
Most interesting. My outdoor compost bins are as full of rolly pollies as they are worms and I noticed the food breaking down much quicker compared to bins without them. But I have also seen them eat seedlings so maybe a good idea to age out the vermicastings so they leave before adding to our garden?
Some really interesting research that you've done here Sandra 🙂The only insect it would seem that has a negative impact on an enclosed worm bin, is the millipedes. Do they come into the bin when outside matter is introduced like the leaf mulch?
