You need purity worms, to put in the compost bin, the bin has no actual purity it just takes from the purity of the worms you put in, also if you want them to produce the purity of the worms make sure that the number at the bottom is at 100% efficiency otherwise you will get a lower purity humus. To get worms to attain higher purity you have to put them in a container with food higher then their current purity and let them eat it which takes a while. They gain purity very slowly as they only gain like .10% of purity per food they eat.

Compost bins no longer have purity. Purity of the humus created depends only on purity of the worms inside the bin. When worms' efficiency is 100% (it's visible when you open the bin) then humus purity will equal to average worm purity. If the efficiency is lower the purity will be lower as well. Each python adds 16% to efficiency, so you want to have 7 pure pythons inside. The worms that randomly spawn in the bin will always be 0% purity and therefore will lower the purity of the humus so you have to keep removing them. Worms increase their purity by eating pure plants
