Avocados in the worm bin? You better believe it!
A halved avocado is a perfectly cozy spot for worms to dine to their heart’s content. Even though the flesh of an avocado is considered a fairly oily food, (typically something to avoid in a worm bin because of its likelihood to cause odors) the worms find it an easily slurpable meal and don’t hesitate at all when it comes to getting their fair share.
Don’t forget that tough outer skin and huge avocado seed! Waste not, want not! They take much longer to be broken down, but eventually they too become part of the bedding that becomes the dark, rich, and natural fertilizer we love.
