Vermicomposting Experiment

I performed a home vermicomposting experiment with several food input variables. In my experiment, I found that introducing high-protein foods resulted in a complete eradication of the worm population within two weeks and actually created an environment that maggots could thrive in, attracting pests. Given these findings, I would recommend being weary of including high-protein foods in home composting systems. My research was presented at the GSDSEF in March and the paper for the project has currently been submitted for publication.
