Earthworms for Outdoor Composting Piles - Earthworms are also known as Red earthworms

Referred to as intestines of the earth, earthworms are one of the best soil builders on the planet. Earthworms consume one half to a total of their body weight in organic matter every 24 hours. Earthworms eat organic matter such as table scraps, yard and garden waste, wheatgrass mats, leaves, grasses and manure. In its place, earthworms 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 earthworms 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.

Earthworms

1000 earthworms are equal to approximately 1 pound.  These earthworms are ideal for composting piles/beds and yard aeration.

After we have grown and juiced our wheatgrass, we put the left over soil mats into a composting pile with the earthworms.  The worms break down the spent wheatgrass flats very fast and generate new soil for us to use again and again.
