Eureka! I have found it! Them actually. Today, as I was airing the worm bin, I noticed some new organisms. One was fruit flies :( Another was a white larva that I hope was not a maggot.
The best things that I have found were lots of castings and 4 cocoons! I am so excited about these. I should be seeing baby worms in about 3 weeks. :) In the words of my husband, my worms are "not only living, but they are thriving!"
They are indeed eating the food scraps and leaving castings. Nutrient rich castings! Black worm gold - LOL! Maybe this is how people who sell bat guano feel.
Today, after looking through the bedding, I placed some more food. I buried 2 and a half small rotting tomatoes and some old cooked broccoli. I mashed them up for easier consumption.
I, also, sprayed the bedding generously with water. It seemed a bit dry. I will not feed them the rest of this week and maybe not until the end of the next. And I am okay with that. Thank you, Yahweh, for the experience and trials of others.
Other news is "mushrooms"?! They are growing out from under the cardboard box, which is my bin and which is starting to mold, rot and grow mushrooms.
I don't know if this is a bad or good thing. I don't know how they got in there. I don't remember reading about mushroom and so I am not sure what to do with them. I guess my little worm bin is very fertile. :)
