Question by Julie M: I have a few magots in my worm farm. What am I doing wrong?
I have 2 layor on my worm factory and noticed a few magots in it the other day. What am I doing wrong? Is that normal?
Thanks
The only protein is egg shells and hair. I can’t put these items in?

You’re probably letting flies get to it and lay eggs.

You are allowing proteins into your wormery. Remove everything and re-lay the waste. Avoid putting in anything which is either protein or citric.
