big blue's new residents get feeding march 21 2024 

Mikko don't change it please! Keeping them for this is the sign of healthy soil! The Springtails compliment the Big Blue Bin! It's all in the microbes!

You could try trapping the springtails with some stale bread. Springtails not only break down organic matter, they also feed on mold and mildew (that is why they can be a problem in bathrooms). I would just moisten some stale bread and lay on top of the bedding, wait a week to 10 days for some mold to start growing and discard the bread into a compost pile, you will not eliminate them, but should dramatically reduce their numbers. Personally, the springtails are just aiding in breaking down the materials in the bin, competing for the worm food is the only issue. Stay Well!!!

I know I’m a bit late but I say try some remedies first. Nice feeding Mikko

I would probably try to separate the worms from the springtails. 🪱
