Worm Composting

1. I had no idea worms would turn kitchen scraps into "a rich, dark, earth-smelling soil conditioner". That's so cool.

2. You can compost with worms indoors. This is a huge advantage for people living in climates unsuitable for regular outdoor composting, and for people who live in an apartment, or just don't have a yard.

3. All you need to compost with worms is a container, bedding (shredded newspaper, shredded leaves, chopped up straw etc.), and of course worms.


It says you should only use the red worms: Eisenia foetida, and Lumbricus rubellus, and not dew worms because dew worms are not likely to survive. Why is it that red worms can survive, but not dew worms.
