Uncle Jim’s Worm Farm also addresses possible questions about the other animals that often appear alongside worms in composting bins. Millipedes, springtails, and white worms are all nonthreatening to worms and can actually help the composting process. The seasoned worm farmer of Uncle Jim’s Worm Farm does warn however, that centipedes can threaten composting worms.
