I recently added a couple of moldy oranges to my bin and I noticed maggots feasting on them. The local garden center told me not to worry about them, because maggots are fly larvae and they will just fly away after they're done growing and eating the oranges.
So, other than looking disgusting, are there any problems? What I am trying to do is compost enough stuff to fill a large pot so that I can plant a camellia in there.
If I just let the maggots live and let them eat the oranges, will they attack the camellia next year?
Thanks!
