More worms in compost without garlic, ginger, onions and citrus

We used to chuck anything organic into the compost heap. But recently I heard from a couple of gardening experts that we should avoid putting garlic, onion and citrus fruit into the compost. We added ginger to that list just because we usually use ginger and garlic together in our cooking.

So for the past 2 months all garlic, ginger, onion and citrus scrapes went directly into the base of  our potted plants instead of the compost.

Today I moved the compost heaps and I swear it worked.
