1000 Red Worms

Referred to as intestines of the earth, worms are one of the best soil builders on the planet. Redworms consume one half to a total of their body weight in organic matter every 24 hours. Redworms eat organic matter such as table scraps, yard and garden waste, wheatgrass mats, leaves, grasses and manure. In its place, redworms deposit a water-soluble, ready to use casting 5 to 11 times richer in nitrogen, phosphates, calcium and magnesium than the organic matter they consumed. 

The redworms powerful gizzard grinds the matter while the intestinal tract secretes chemicals which release the major as well as micro plant nutrients and then deposit them directly into the soil where plants can readily feed. Redworms will not harm live roots or foliage, they will however, consume anything organic that falls to the ground and convert it into a wonderful fertilizer. Additional info...

We use the redworms in our compost piles to breakdown the wheatgrass mats that are left over after you chop down the grass.
