Hit 500 red wiggler worms in my compost bin last Saturday

I started a worm bin in my backyard about 6 months ago with just 50 worms from a local nursery. Last weekend I did a full count while sorting the bedding and hit exactly 503 worms plus a ton of cocoons. It blew my mind because I just feed them kitchen scraps and shredded cardboard nothing fancy. Has anyone else had their worm population explode way faster than they expected?

You might want to start harvesting the castings more often or give some worms to a friend, because that many in a small bin can get overcrowded and crash on you.

Revelling in your worm orgy there, huh?
