In the worm bin, corn on the cob is the gift that keeps on giving!
In it’s raw state, an ear of corn would take a really long time to be consumed. But once shucked and broiled, boiled, or grilled, corn becomes a food of choice for compost worms.
Soft kernels are gone in days while the inner cob takes months to be transformed in the worm bin. The fibrous corn husks are slow going but serve as bedding until they’re devoured.
*Heavily buttered or seasoned corn on the cob is best eaten by humans or given a rinse before being fed to worms. Oils spoil and salt burns delicate worm skin!
