#Compost myth?

#Citrus kills #Worms

Citrus in your compost jackspirko (npub1587…kv0n)

it could be the diverse amount of compostables I put in my bin and perhaps when the compost is finish a test will find that soil is acidic

however the issue is the amount of worms (red wigglers and night crawlers) I found dispersed exactly where I put pounds upon pounds of old citrus peels and rotted fruit.

Pill bugs, beatles, earwigs, worms. everything thriving.

I will also grant you that this is a cold pile, not a traditional #Bioreactor and I finish a pile once a season.

So... Citrus in your compost pile kills your vermiculture?

apparently not, but the quality of the compost remains to be seen

I do have traditional worm bins and I do not put citrus in those.
