My composter is a contained above ground tumbler. Can I add earth worms?



I wouldn’t add them directly to the tumbler because of the heat, and the fact that frequent tumbling will injure and kill a lot of worms. You can, however, turn the material out of the tumbler when it’s mostly broken down, and add worms to the compost as it "cures". If you turn the tumbler contents out onto the ground and cover them with a tarp, you shouldn’t have to buy red compost worms, they’ll migrate in from the surrounding area if it has grass or vegetation cover.

If you do buy worms, make sure you get "red wriggler worms", and not earthworms or nightcrawlers. Red wriggler worms are composting worms that live under piles of decomposing organic matter, not in the soil. Other worms live in the soil itself, and either won’t survive in a compost pile, or they’ll leave.

How to Make Compost with Only a Bag of Leaves

http://compostinstructions.com

You can make compost by using a bag of leaves. It’s an alternate method of composting, but it totally works. Basically, when you’ve just got a big bag of leaves, you can compost right in the bag – just add some nitrogen rich material (coffee grounds, etc) and then get some water in there (so it’s wet), and then seal up the garbage bag and leave it for a year or six months or so – and that’s it…rich leaf mulch – which is just like finished compost.

For more composting tips, please visit us on the web at the site listed at the top of this description. Hope this helps, and happy composting!
