I have three 'Dalek' compost bins at the end of the garden. They are
standing on the ground, side-by-side, in a row.

They all get fed with the same sort of stuff (kitchen vegetable waste,
dead plants, small garden material etc).

Whenever I go to put something in them, more often than not when I lift
the lid of the middle one there's a mass of worms having what looks like
a serious sex orgy (and there are also quite a lot of them on the
underside of the lid). It is very satisfying to see them all having such
a good time. However, in the other two bins, there are almost never any
worms to be seen.

If I transfer some worms from the middle bin to the other two (usually
by swapping the lids), next time I visit the bins the situation is
exactly as it was before (ie no visible worm activity in the two outer
bins). Despite this, the contents of all three bins seems to be
composting away at about the same rate.

So the question is, "What's going on"?

Perhaps they have a preference for congregating in the highest
concentration, and manage somehow to communicate their presence to
others?

I always have a bit of a dilemma when putting the lid back. I imagine
that some of the worms are going to get sliced in half, since the lid is
a tight push-down fit. So I shake them all off.

I was about to say you'll get even more worms, but apparently that's a
myth:

I noticed from an early age that bisected worms didn't tend to live for
very long.

He must have really ****ed you off at some time in the past. Is there a

about Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL)
trolling:
"He is a well known attention seeking troll and every reply you
make feeds him.
Starts many threads most of which die quick as on the UK groups anyone
with sense Kill filed him ages ago which is why he now cross posts to
the US groups for a new audience.
This thread was unusual in that it derived and continued without him
to a large extent and his silly questioning is an attempt to get
noticed again."
