Do they feed on the waste? That’s interesting that you put the waste in with the worms; I thought they would have hated that? Do they feed on the waste?

Once it started smelling more 'earthy' and pleasant I noticed a lot more adults venturing in. I ended up adding some more in the same bin and that seemed to send the worms down again, but I'm sure they will be back up again once the aerobic microbes take hold and start getting rid of some of the nasty residuals. This week I dumped a LOT of fermented bokashi scraps into my large outdoor worm bin and will be interested to see what happens there as well! B Hi Chris,

I've wondered if the acids (and potentially alcohols) resulting from the fermentation process might be a problem for them? Chris I’m interested to know how your worms reacted to the Bokashi.
