Let these little creatures do the work for you!

Composting Redworms - the tiny Eisenia foetida is capable of consuming up to half its own weight daily in organic waste. The end result, referred to as 'worm castings' , is highly regarded as one of the best soil amendments available. 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. These can then be used to amend your garden soil or make ' worm tea', which is also very beneficial to plants. Redworms tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions, which make them ideal for vermiculture. They need to be kept at tempertures between 40-80 degrees.

European Night Crawlers - Eisenia hortensis has been traditionally used as bait for anglers, but it is also good 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 your worm bin has a liquid catchment tray at the base, make sure to regularly empty the tea, so that any bottom feeding worms that find their way into that area do not drown.
