The bins are in the dining room, of course, hhhmmmmm. We checked them
under a magnifier and are pretty sure they are mites, look like what we got on
house plants a few years ago. We also checked our soil pH and for some
reason it is acidic. We are using peat moss and unused
shredded newspaper for bedding and table scrams that have been run
through the food processor for food. no grease/oils or meat. We have
increased the air circulation and have strips of banana peel with a bit of sugar
on them to attract the critters so we can remove them and we are planning on
putting a small amount of coral calcium on one half of the bin to facilitate the
higher pH for the worms while we attract the mites to the other half.
