Rich and Black Compost

The compost bin yielded up 10 litres of rich, black compost and 2 big balls of composting worms. The compost bin is not supposed to have any composting worms but they somehow appeared, and thrive inside there. I put in 100 litres of sugar cane bagasse, and all our fruit plus vegetable peels for 12 months. All that is left is 10 litres of compost. 

Once harvested, we fry the compost in a wok to sterilise it for use in the garden. I am worried that the non-sterilised compost may have pest eggs or harmful pathogens. Once sterilised, it can be safely spread onto the pots. We have taken the garden off the normal organic fertilisers we use. For the next few weeks, we will only use the home made compost. I hope the garden likes this home made plant food.
