It is rare for there to be too many earthworms in your compost bin if they are allowed to naturally enter and exit from the base. They will balance out their own population based on the amount of food available. If you are adding composting worms to your bin, their population can increase rapidly but will level out over time as the compost breaks down.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Worms can gather in large groups if the compost is out of balance, too wet, too acidic or too hot. In this case you can take action to improve your compost and encourage the worms to spread out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
