How often do worms reproduce?
Redworms are such prolific breeders that it is easy to understand why this is such an amazing experience. One thousand (1 pound) redworms under controlled conditions and temperature that promote continuous breeding throughout the year can multiply to more than 1,250,000 worms and egg capsules. What this means is that each worm is capable of producing one egg capsule per week (4 eggs per month) from which an average of 4 worms per capsule hatch out. That’s a total of 12-16 worms a month from each breeding worm!
