So I've had a composting bucket for years. Just something I throw random food scraps in when I cook. Have never been able to get worms in it but not for lack of trying I once caught a bunch of earthworms after it rained and brought them home and threw them in and they disappeared. Recently I lifted the lid and saw all these fellows. The bucket has holes so it can breathe but they are on the sides and it's pretty compacted. The lid fits snuggly so it doesn't let out a strong odor as I live in an apartment complex. I'm wondering what kind of worms they are and if they are good or bad?

Do you take your worms to any events to educate others about worm farming?

Hello. This post might be removed but I think it’s related so will give it a shot.

Does anyone do blatticomposting (using very specific, non-pest, cockroaches). I’m in Canada and trying to find the appropriate cockroaches.

I’m pretty shocked that this isn’t happening more widely or to a larger scale because it creates a lot of great outputs including compost, feeder insects, a source of high protein, and starter colonies for others ( in addition to dealing with food wastes).

Any input and thoughts on this?
