i myself have never had slaters cause any discernable damage in my system, if they are in your worm farm this would indicate the same, they, like lots of other things live on decomposing organic matter so they will be doing their bit in converting your organic material.

you may need to seek out a vermicompost group/thread to get more ideas if they are needed.

Hey there,

I had to look up what a slater was. Pill bug, sow bug, rolly polly, etc. I wouldn't worry too much about them. If anything, they are helping to break down the compostable materials in your bin. You can get rid of them the same way you get rid of earwigs: put out some damp newspaper at night, then in the morning, throw it away. The sow bugs will nest in the newspaper.

Have a good day,
Ken

Thankyou everyone for your helpful replies. I really did appreciate them.

The slaters will do no harm to your worms I have them in mine I just put a wet hessian bag on the top the slaters go all over it then I shake them into the chickens they love em.

I was worried about the slater problem too but now life is sweet ! Thankyou all

Ps my chooks will be rapt!
