Best Answer

Yes, most definately.

Worms are the compost kings. Worms are the gods of the underworld from a scientific point of view. I add worms to all my compost piles. They increase the air flow through the piles and Ive never found an orange peel left behind. All I ever find is worm poop and worm guts.

Worms are key to compost orange peels.

Whole Oranges will rot down in compost, but they will take some time to rot. It also depends on the type of composting you are doing. If you are using worm composting, the concentrated acid of a whole orange will not be tempting to them, so you are better to chop it so that it rots quicker and is less concentrated.
