Emptied my compost (dalek style) bin last week and spread all the contents on my borders. Had been worried as my usual huge amount of visible pink worms was nowhere to be seen inside. Normally they are up the walls and all clinging to the inside rim of the lid. I needn't have worried, cos as I tipped it out, there must have been 50 million of these little hard workers. However, since then, each time I've gone to the bin there has been over 2 dozen of the huge horrid green slugs inside as well as smaller brown ones.. I've removed them and disposed of them on to an open space at the bottom of the garden. Having read all the comments, I think I'll try a little sprinkle of the slug pellets while the bin is practically empty still - just hope that the pellets don't harm my little pink worms.
