answer:I’ve dug a worm or two out of my container garden. I think they went in with the compost. However, it’s awfully small – and they have needs, man, ya gotta’ understan’! ;) Have you considered making a separate small compost bin for them? Even a five gallon pail with holes in it, some dirt, shredded newspapers and then put your scraps in there? I have something like that (a big plastic lidded tub) for my compost (we have a condo and can’t have a real heap) and I find worms in it all the time. I would also be afraid of temperature and moisture swings in a space that small. However, you could just try it and see what happens. Worst case scenario, you need a couple new worms.
