Can I Add Red Wiggler Worms to a Compost Bin?
Red wiggler worms and a compost bin are a marriage made in heaven. Red wigglers in the wild live in leaf litter and manure, so unlike burrowing worms such as nightcrawlers, they can adapt to soilless, shallow compost bins. The red wiggler, Eisenia fetida, tolerates a wide range of temperature and moisture conditions and produces quality vermicompost from kitchen leftovers. A pound of red wigglers can consume 50 lbs. of kitchen waste in 90 days.
