» Red Wiggler / Tiger Worm
Eisenia Fetida, known under various common names, including redworms, brandling worms, tiger worms and red wiggler worms, is a species of earthworm adapted to the environment of decaying organic material. It thrives in rotting vegetation, compost, and manure, i.e. it is an epigamic worm. It is rarely found in soil, and instead, like Lubricious Rebellious, prefers conditions where other worms cannot survive.
Molecular analyses have confirmed their identity as a separate species, and breeding experiments have shown that they do not produce hybrids.
» African Nightcralwer
African Nightcrawler worms measure 4-8 inches long are also called Super Reds, Japanese Tigers, or California Super Reds. They are responsible for improving soil and promoting healthy plants and flowers. They help to increase the amount of air and water that gets into the soil. They also break down organic matter, such as leaves and grass into nutrients that plants can use.
African Nightcralwers are excellent vermicomposting worms. For almost 2 decades, they have been revitalizing the soil and playing a major role in solid waste management in Southeastern nations, including being one of the main characters of vermicomposting in the Philippines.
They are the perfect worms for home vermicomposting and composting more fibrous materials like leaves.
The African Nightcralwer has been a fishing worm favorite because of its size and does not need to be refrigerated like the Canadian Nightcralwer.
