Asked by: Steven Whiteman
Worms do eat dead and decaying plant matter from leaves, stems, wood, and roots. They will also feed on any hitchhiking microorganisms on the plant material. A great way to recycle kitchen food scraps like vegetable or fruit peelings is to chop them up and bury them a few inches under the soil.
