Mohican , DE only works on hard exo skeletons, arthropods. It gets between their hard shells and does act like shards of glass shredding them up and slowly dehydrating them, I don't think it would harm worms due to the fact de would get wet with soil moisture being in the worm bin. However it does turn more into a thick like muddy substance and I'm not sure how that would affect the bin. I guess would depend on how much was in it.

Hahaha!

My cans of recycled soil are smelling wonderful. The veggie compost has been sitting in there for a couple months. I will mix this all with the compost pile and worm castings and see what magic happens!

DE doesn't harm worms. I'd rather wait for spring so I can pick some horsetail for Silica. You Cali boys don't know how good ya got it. Happy Valentines ladies(hyheels) and gents.

I add all of the dandelions growing in the yard to the pile. Great source of many things especially silica!
Ima be in OC sometime within the next week. Save me some dandelions.. They are so hard to come by out here.. I was told at a farmers market at Laguna hills mall there is a guy who sells dandelions... I don't know if that's true.
