*Charles Darwin studied earthworms for more than 40 years. He said, "Worms seem to be the great promoters of vegetation, perforating and loosening the soil, rendering it pervious to rains and the fibers of plants by drawing straws and stalks of leaves and twigs into it; and most of all, by throwing up such infinite numbers of lumps of earth called worm-casts, which being their excrement, is a fine manure for grain and grass...the earth without worms would soon become cold, hard-bound, and void of fermentation, and consequently sterile."

*The Red Worm is also a composting champion. These red worms eat their body weight of waste on daily basis and in doing so convert dead organic matter into rich humus which is vital for heathly plants, grass, shrubs, and trees! They are a hearty worm which can double in population every 3 months!


*The average size of a red worm is 2-3 inches, they vary in size.
