Baby worms

20 years ago

we have a bin that's been going five months now and our worms are reproducing like crazy! we started with a handfull of compost from a friend's bin (probably had 15 worms in it) and now we have literally hundreds and hundreds of baby worms all in the compost, over the food, and there are so many that they crawl up the sides of the bin and hang out in big clumps. some even make it to the lid and sit up there. we have never had any escape through the air holes though. it was really, really moist in the bin, so i set down some new bedding on top and bottom and let it air out over night, but after i put the lid on again for just a few hours, the baby worms were back to crawling all over the darn thing.

what is makig my worms reproduce so quickly and is this a bad thing? should we feed them more... or less? any other suggestions as to what to do?
