Worms eat dryer lint?

[betho]

I read somewhere that worms eat dryer lint. I have a ton of it so I could do that, but I would imagine the perfumes from the fabric softener would bother them? Is this safe? Not to mention if you ever get lint from synthetics, doesn't seem to be they could digest that.

never had a problem with the dryer lint. The seem to really like it. it just disapears. Plus they like to leave the coocons in it.

On that note, what about the contents of vacuum bags? I have a bagless and I feel as if something can be done with the massive amount of cat hair that I vacuum up.

I have one bin strictly for dog hair and floor sweepings. Inside over the surface, I keep lights and top removed soda bottles of soap water to catch any fleas or dust mites the mothball in my bag-less missed.

The product from this bin is only used in my living parameter fencing of elder cane, wild blackberry bushes, transplanted Texas twist hedges, nettles and cut down Polk stalk punjies.

Those sweepings compost sure make that man and beast shredding hedgerow look nice and keeps away trespassers:)

I put dryer lint in any of my bins and it goes quickly ,and smells Rainforest fresh.. My vacuum cleaner bags go into the outdoor larger bins. The contents (lots of dog hair) decompose slower but it does go, it's just too big for my indoor bins.

Wow,
Dryer lint? Never would have thought of that. I will be sure to put that note down for future referance. Amazing what these little creatures will eat isn't it?
Still learning.
