| Redworms (Eisenia fetida) |
There are two main categories of earthworms: the earthmover and the composter.
Earthmovers (like nightcrawlers) move soil through their systems extracting their valuable nutrients. These worms are usually solitary so you won't find a large number in a given area.
Composting worms work as a group to break down organic matter into valuable worm castings and vermicompost. These worms do not like soil and make their living eating organic waste (while also living in it!). Composting worms will eat anything that was once alive (even your cotton T-shirt!).
Of the composting worm species, we recommend and sell the redworm (Eisenia Fetida) because they are extremely hardy, easy to grow, reproduce well, have a large temperature range in which they can live comfortably, and make excellent fine-grained castings. We've tried growing and vermicomposting with several species of worms and settled in on the "work horse" composter: the redworm.
