They can be more restless when the conditions in the bin/system are not just right. However, if you are a new worm farmer and want to start with European Nightcrawlers just be aware they can be a little more challenging. If you are an experienced worm farmer then “the big brother of the Red Wigglers,” the European Nightcrawlers (their official name is Eisenia Hortensis), are good composters and may possibly be the best fishing bait worm in the world.

Red Wigglers are the easiest to manage, tolerate the widest range of conditions, breed very fast and thus compost quickly. If you are new to worm composting, we recommended you start out with Red Wigglers (their official name is Eisenia Fetida). It’s easy! It’s inexpensive! It’s good for you and the world in which we live!Ĭomposting worms are the key to the process. Why put all your organic waste (as well as other waste like newspaper, cardboard, even the leaves we rake up in our yard) into a landfill causing more problems? By adding this same waste to a small container with composting worms, you will turn it into vermicompost, also known as “Black Gold.' This compost, known as vermicompost, replenishes the soil while increasing the quantity and the quality of topsoil. The good news is composting worms can generate the highest quality compost there is faster than any other source. We are now learning that it can take multiple decades for that top soil to form naturally.

In the United States alone, it is estimated that approximately 3 tons of topsoil per acre per year is lost. Without a healthy, nutrient rich topsoil, we cannot grow the high quality crops needed to supply our population with healthy food. Erosion is rapidly degrading our topsoil and robbing it of the neccessary minerals and nutrients our bodies need. The sad truth is the nutritional value of our food is in decline.
