Howdy,
When I turned my compost pile the other day I noticed a lot of nasty meal worm looking things wiggling around (not the white grubs I see in the garden sometimes). I am hoping someone knows what they are and can reassure me that they are not going to grow up into some nasty giant insect that will invade my house, yard, or garden. The compost pile is a 55 gal drum missing both ends. When I want to mix the compost, I just lift it up, move the drum, and refill. All I add to the compost is plant matter. This is in AZ. Thanks!
