Question
Hi Greg - How do I get rid of the 1000's (and I truly mean 1000's)
of crustaceans in my compost bin?  They seem to "eat" the food
before my bin worms have a chance.  Thanks!

Answer
Hello Francene


Im interested in knowing what "Type" of Crustaceans these are? Is your Compost Bin located on the Ground or is it raised? And could you tell me what part of the Country you are located. Many things will visit the Compost Bin, as long as they eat it, and leave thier 'Droppings" its all good. If you determine that whatever is undesireable in the Bin, you may need to change what you put into it. I assume that you are not putting in anything that could attract Vermin, such as Bones, Meat Scraps, Cheese, etc.

Please respond to my questions so that I may look at this more closely.
