Meat, dairy products, oily foods, and citrus fruits should not be added to the vermicompost bin because they can attract pests like rodents and flies, emit unpleasant odors, and create an unsuitable environment for earthworms. These items may also take longer to decompose and harm the worms, disrupting the overall efficiency of the composting process. Proper waste selection ensures a smooth and healthy vermicomposting operation.
