Ya it seems pretty safe I'd only want to put 1 for now reason being is because what if they fuck like rabbits and I end up with 100-1000 in my 5 gal bucket aha, I don't know how often they mate but its not often I'll throw more in. I know people use worm casting but I think this would be better anything decomposing naturally down there the worm will eat and fertalize my soil at the same time. Aha ?

Worms will aerify the soil. Giving air and water a pathway to your root zone. Worms do need 'food' to eat, so your soil will need some organics that they can feed on.
Think along the lines of your compost pile. Just mix in some decomposing lettuce leaves, any composing veggies, do not put in any animal fats, etc., or it will smell to high heavens. This will not hurt your plants and might give you a continued low dose of N and some other good nutes.
And yes, worm casing is a great soil conditioner.

Finally, somebody asks that question. I do it, and I wondered why it wasn't common practice?
The only problem I could think of was the possibility of
killing worms with nutes and flushing and such.
I only put one worm in a pot, but they can multiply quickly, and a sudden die-off would be meat in the substrate.

Isn't mitosis cell division? Of course they have sex. Wouldn't you if you were a worm?
If you cut an earthworm in two, you wind up with two worms, but tha's not mitosis.edit: ou know that weird space on an earthworm? I think that's an egg producing/carrying section. (Ovum?)
I'm not sure, but you get my drift as to how one worm can become many.

Worms have both sex organs so they don't need a partner so there will be more.
