I have checked the worm farm today and was greeted by a magnificent site. Worms wonderful worms everywhere. The little buggers have bred prolifically and have a large food reserve to chomp through.
There was still the unmistakable aroma of maggots. However, on inspection I removed the milk soaked bread. The bread stunk to high heaven, and although I saw no visible signs of maggots I am sure they were present. I came to this conclusion after stirring through the compost with a stick. I located less than 12 maggots in the system. I also exposed many more worms.
So although I am not 100% certain that there are no maggots in the system I am willing to claim victory. My worms have excelled and are now munching through the mountain of food. In 2 – 3 months I should have a nice supply of usable material for planting of fruits, vegetables or flowers. Now I just need to work out how best to get them to Wollongong when we move.
Well done on winning the battle !

Carry on the good fight fellow wormer! I too have been infested with those filthy white wigglies and am hanging on your every word for a solution!
Fellow Wormer and I are as one in wishing you victory in this battle! The enemy is also within my camp, and I take courage from your struggle!
