You would need to add them to a compost pile in order for them to break down. They won’t really “compost” in a jar inside.

You can bury the droppings in the dirt if you don’t have a compost bin.

Hello, I’ve found an error on one of your pages… Your text reads “You may also consider adding nitrogen-rich materials like leaves, straw or newspaper to absorb some of the excess moisture.”, while it should be like “You may also consider adding CARBON-rich materials like leaves, straw or newspaper to absorb some of the excess moisture.”. The page link is http://compostinstructions.com/compost-bin-moisture-level/

Great site by the way. Take care and keep composting!

I have a compost in a tubawear box… and it is filled with rain water… yicks!!! so im going to pour out the rain water. Also before the rain stared i had mill worms in it…. Is that good for the compost? I know worms are good for it but mill worms??? Hummmm Help!

Any kind of container to make compost should have holes in it, for drainage. So you should add some kind of drainage to the box that you are using.

Mealworms are fine in compost. They are just beetle larvae.
