Problem with my worms (vermiculture)
 

This is my first experience with raising worms. All is going
wonderfully well until recently a large amount of what appear to be
white mites have appeared all over everythng. Has anyone else
experienced this and if so,what am I supposed to do?
If I could find an answer to this it would really put me on the good
side of my wife, as these worms are really hers.
Thanx.

Google search "critters in the bin" for a great article by Kelly Slocum on
the different creatures that can inhabit your bin. It's the first link
you see. Great forums on worms can be found at Gardenweb.com and
wormdigest.org.

From what I've read, mites aren't usually a problem. Kelly says to cut
back on melon and fruit scraps if you've been feeding them. I've found
that "visitors" just kind of come and go in my bin.
