That is a good point, if you are using earthworms. Red wrigglers live within the top layer of the compost and therefore do not like it as hot. Earthworms are deeper living and can handle more heat, but will still do a mass evacuation if it gets too hot (watched it happening once when I added grass clippings to my outdoor compost bin and heated it up, the worms were running out the bottom).



Lets us know if you try it and it works though, my kitchen is becoming rather crowded with the various insect population bins LOL
