Eisenia fetida - Lumbricus rubellus
Red Worms (Earthworms)
Red wigglers
Target:
Composting. Decomposing organic matter. Soil aeration.
Description:
Our redworms are bed run (grown outdoors in long rows). Each redworm ingests
its weight in organic matter every 24 hours. Its intricate digestive tract
makes it possible for the earthworms to excrete highly nutritious fertilizer
known as castings.
Product information:
Our redworms are packaged in breathable containers mixed with food and
moisture. The earthworms vary in size; packages include eggs, new born
worms and adults. Redworms reach mature size in 6 to 12 months.
Release Rates:
Make sure your release site is moist. You can either lay the worms on top
of soft soil, or dig a hole approximately 6 inches deep. Dump in the worms
and cover with the soft top-soil. If placing the worms in your garden,
do several release sites. For compost piles simply add the worms to your
bins and the worms will seek out the food. |
