Absolutely not. For those inclined to be curious and even for children, it’s important to understand that disturbing the compost, especially during the initial breeding phase, is counterproductive. Instead, add food to the top to avoid disrupting the worms and their habitats, as they lay eggs in specific areas. If the compost appears overly wet or lacks air, you can gently rake it.
