    I’ve got a multi-frame worm bin that gets fed a lot of banana peels, coffee grounds, eggshells, and veggie scraps; with the bottom frame filled with shredded paper bags and coconut coir for bedding.

    One thing I do to control insects is sprinkle diatomaceous earth (DE) pretty heavily when I see insect eggs or grubs. It kills insects but doesn’t harm earthworms, and when it gets soaked it just becomes a clay-like constituent of the soil.
