I am currently starting a worm bin and the thought jumped into my head about trying Milli-composting along side it and see how the results go.
I know it seems weird but I have always had in interest in bugs and I have yet to own millipedes but have always been interested.
Any thoughts on what size of millipede I should use? Should I just use native millipedes? I would love to have an excuse to get some GIANT/colorful millipedes but.... I know the smaller worms are liked because they go through their life cycles faster and young worms consume more. The same is likely true in Millipedes.
A few sites for anyone interested;
A nice millicompost experiment
