Earthworms for Outdoor Composting Piles - Earthworms are also known as Red earthwormsReferred
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.
