Hi everyone!
First time posting here and so happy that there’s a community about composting!
I was having a look at the different posts and saw some about critter IDs. I just wanted to let you guys know that iNaturalist lets you create projects and I follow this one https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/home-compost-exploration, which turned out to be useful sometimes.
It’s great that you can contribute uploading pictures of whatever you find in your compost, and pretty fun (if you’re curious) to see what other piles attract all over the world. You can also filter by location, of course, and see what you might find in neighbouring piles.
That’s so cool! I’ve taken care of cabbage loopers three times now, and it’s so cool to see them do their thing. My fiancée is not a fan though since both her and the caterpillars love our Swedish ivies lol
Uh, I think those were at fault of eating half of my Lemon Balm I grow for herbal tea. Was not happy about that at all 😬
Probably, because only two of them decimated a whole plant here. They’re hungry little buddies, so much so that I actually captured them and keep feeding them with veggies leftovers lol
