Are worms OK with spices?

Hi All,

I've just started making ginger beer again and I generate a fair amount of ginger pulp - I blitz ginger root and squeeze the juice out. Most of the fiery stuff is in the juice, but the pulp is still pretty gingery. Seems a shame to bin it, so I wondered how my worms will deal with it. They say you're not supposed to give worms spicy stuff. I think if humans can eat it, so can worms, but there's a lot of this pulp, and if it's no good for them, they'll either die or go somewhere there isn't any ginger - I don't have a base to my vermicomposter so they might burrow down and out - although usually, when my worms make a bolt for it, they go upwards and congregate at the inside edge of the lid.

So, are they OK with large amounts of ginger?

Thanks,

Andy.
