That was one thing that was suggested is to do several in smaller containers. I think it was to allow the worms to do a better job on finishing the compost before you give them more, but maybe the maggot aspect is part of the reason too. We fill the bin and let them compost to completion, empty and refill.<br /><br />Get some chickens and those maggots won't be a problem anymore. :->Homesteading Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00883188912689929377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1142556045701244033.post-74711615323985786442010-09-12T04:02:38.627-07:002010-09-12T04:02:38.627-07:00My compost bin has turned into a maggot bin.
