You can see a huge knot of happy compost worms, Eisenia fetida, and some worm castings around them. The worms are reddish, the castings are brown, and there are some whitish seeds. They are inside half a pumpkin, and they have consumed the flesh of the pumpkin and left the shell.
The scooped out worms, castings, a few worm egg casings, and pumpkin seeds. The worms are reddish, the seeds are whitish, the castings are brown. The egg casings look like tiny yellow-brown lemons.
This is something which brings me joy. I harvested composting worms from my indoor bins to add to my huge outdoor leaf mold bins. A few weeks ago, I put ½ an old pumpkin in each indoor bin. They love that, so it was super easy to scoop them up. They will do excellent things to the leaves. #compost
