Last week, we had a high pressure storm coming in. As I took a look at my worm bin to give them their weekly feeding, I noticed a few worms crawling on the side of the bin. I've never seen my worms do this. Although I've heard of this around the net before.
It got me concerned because I want my worms to be happy and don't like them trying to run out. So, I searched the net to find out what may be causing this and there were several things that could have happened. One, my bin was too acidic or the environment unbearable. But, most of the worms would be trying to escape if that was the case.
The bin would stink. Again, most of the worms would try to escape. So, I attributed this behavior to a few worms doing this to the atmospheric pressure that was in their due to the oncoming storm.
The next day, when the storm arrived, no worms were near the lid or crawling on the side of my bin.
Thank goodness.
