Where to buy
Need help?
my compost has not got many worms in it anymore could it be the ants are eating them.
I'm in Qld and it's been hot and dry. I water the compost to keep it moist and I turn it over as well.

Yes, it's a possibility if they are in large numbers and the right species.
Add a few shovelfuls of your garden soil into the compost, which will introduce more earthworms/eggs and other micro-organisms, or buy compost worms from Bunnings/nurseries etc.
Keeping your compost damp and well-aerated, as you're doing, is good too, as ants prefer drier conditions.
