Description
Composting Redworms - the tiny Eisenia foetida is capable of consuming up to its own weight daily in organic waste. The end result, referred to as worm castings or cow-free manure, is highly regarded as a soil amendment. During daylight hours, these worms continually tunnel in and feed on your food scraps, all the while aerating the bin. The finely ground digested matter is passed out of the worm's body in the form of rich, nutritious casts. Redworms tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions, which make them ideal for vermiculture.
European Night Crawlers - Eisenia hortensis has been traditionally used as bait for anglers, but it is also superior in vermiculture systems. It is over 2x as long as fetida, with an impressive girth. They prefer to feed in the deeper parts of the bin. The night crawlers will also benefit the compost bins replete with yard clippings as well as help aerate raised garden beds. If you worm bin has a liquid catchment tray at the base, make sure to regular empty the tea, so that any bottom feeding night crawlers that find there way into that area do not drown.
