Get to know more of your live worms and their homes

There are a lot of live earthworms in the market today. Some are used for composting, for fishing and even as a feed for animals such as birds and fish. Now, the variation of worm species is also great in number. But only two kinds come out as more versatile soil creatures – the Red Wigglers and the Super Reds.Uncle Jim’s Worm Farm offers these ‘miracle workers’ at a very low price, which is highly a good catch in today’s striving economy.

The best worm type in town – The Red Wiggler Worms

If you’re looking to put up a business that concerns selling earthworms, then you should definitely try raising and breeding Red Wigglers from Uncle Jim’s Worm Farm. You can also rear these for your personal gain, as this type of creature is very easy to manage. Now aside from that, you can also harvest their castings and use these as a garden supplement to help improve your plant and soil structures. Compost that is produced by red wigglers is packed with essential nutrients and other trace minerals (made possible by the organic food that they consume). These soil creatures actually work by breaking down decomposing organic debris into a finer and more nutritious material.

Red Wigglers have also been recognized to have the ability to eat half as much of their own weight daily. They efficiently work by converting decaying natural refuse, digesting these and excreting these remains into a nutrient filled organic compost. But aside from their eating prowess, these soil wonders are also known to be prolific creatures. They love being kept in dark and moist surroundings. That’s why providing them with a composter (with ample ventilation and drainage holes) with just the right amount of damp bedding and food materials keep them dynamic.

The composting and fishing earthworm – Super Red Worms

Uncle Jim’s Worm Farm also offers Super Red earthworms (also known as the European Nightcrawlers, Japanese Tiger Worm, Belgian Worm, etc.). A very prolific breeder and easy to raise specie, these soil burrowers can be used for composting, but is generally used more for fishing means. The ‘can’t go wrong worm!’ Super Reds can also grow up to an average length of 5 inches. Also a favorite fish bait, this earthworm type can certainly survive long periods while being submerged underwater.
