THat’s a relief I think ant farm people tend towards being sociopaths.

I am a composter extraordinaire , really. Worms are overrated. Turning is the way to go. Get a compost thermometer and see how hot you can get the compost pile by the way you mix various carboniferous and nitrogenous matter and water. I have had them over 160F, a little too hot for worms.

I grew all kinds of amazing fruits and vegetables with no added worms, have a great no worm added garden now and the roses do great year after year on homemade compost and nothing else. Everything does unless you have plants that need acidic soil. Succulents like a little homemade compost in their potting soil.
