Maggots in your worm farm – what are they and what do I do?. A common experience with home worm farms is lifting the lid to discover a writhing mass of maggots, usually white in colour with a segmented body. Whilst your initial reaction may be one of horror and disgust it is nowhere near as bad as it looks!!
Coming home and finding brown paper packages addressed to you is just the perfect end to the day, isn’t it? When I first got my worm café, I was so excited! I’d used worm farms at school, but we’d never had one at home. It had always been the one thing that I didn’t do at home to reduce my waste. Bucket in the shower – yes, collecting rain water – yes, worm farm – not quite yet.
