Cinnamon Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 HELP!!! As some of you know,I am having a tough time getting on with my womery,which is just way to wiggly for my liking Anyhow,I fed them some lettuce today & noticed hundereds of tiny white eggs on all the waste in there The nearest thing I can equate it too is the inside of a fig....lots & lots of them. So, do worms lay eggs to have babies,or has somthing got in there & laid its eggs,ready to deluge me with lots of horrible baby thingies?

Lesley-Jean Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Worms lay their eggs in a cocoon. Slugs and snails don't. Is it possible you have slugs (or snails) in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 I can't see any L-J,so I guess I will just have to wait & see what come out All there seems to be is a few little flies......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 The little beige eggs are probably worm eggs or cocoons. Depends how long the wormery has been established. Put a pic in the gallery if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 yes .......... fly eggs! Yes, Kate - I point to a pile of peelings and ask Carl to take them to the wormery - or, i send Jake - he spends ages playing with the spiders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
