Worms: Thousands Escaping from Compost Bin. I failed to put ventilation holes in my home-made worm bin (for vermi-composting), which worked ok for months until I really over-fed it once. Then it got a funky smell and apparently the worms did NOT like it! They crawled up to the edge and were either trying to escape or trying to get some fresh air away from the funky smell. This has never happened before. But I learned my lessons: 1) Put ventilation holes in the lid, and 2) do not over-feed the worm bins. Live and Learn! Happy Gardening!
(PS: no worms were harmed in the making of this video.... and actually thousands were saved!)
