Not sure I follow?
Squash are incredibly resistant to decomposition when whole and injury-free, but if you cut them up and put them in a rich decomposer environment (like a worm bin) they will certainly break down more quickly.

Mine has been on the counter, with no ill effects, for some time?!

It was in fact a thick layer of shredded cardboard + squash sitting on top of some vermicompost and partially decomposed bedding/food. I should have taken a picture before adding the cardboard.

As for the number of worms, it is hard to say for sure. This was a bin I added a relatively small population of worms to and let grow up to it’s max capacity on it’s own (this is usually what I like doing with my worm bins rather than adding the recommended 1 lb/sq ft)

Patti! Great to see you in these parts!
:-)
You are right – some fun music would have livened it up! I was thinking about it, but by the time I got it put together the thought of then searching around from the right song just didn’t seem all that appealing.
Next time for sure though!

Was it just egg cartons and squash or was there other VC on the bottom?

Thanks!
