Worms in soil?

Anybody tried it?

Feed them or they will crawl out. If it gets too dry they crawl out, if it gets too wet they crawl out, if it gets too hot they crawl out.
Easier with big pots, they will never be happy in a small pot.

I started a worm farm in a couple of big 20 gal totes. I fish for panfish a lot and can use the bait, plus the castings are good for organic growing of herbs and vegetables. Red wigglers (compost worms) from big jim's. I'm following a book "Worms Eat My Garbage".

Done it a few times, mostly by accident, when I got soil out of my compost bin and there were worms in it. It certainly won't hurt anything putting worms in your grow soil.

If you keep the worms alive, its a good enviroment for growing..

Just start a worm farm/bin, best thing you’ll ever do!
Topdress the castings when you plant or mix in with your soil, the eggs in the castings will become worms anyway.

I love worms. You can scratch kitchen scraps into the top layer of soil and let them work. Bigger pots are better, you'll have plenty of worms in no time. More food = more worms, but don't over feed them. Mulch is beneficial for the turning that top layer into black gold

i would only bother with worms if your working with a good organic amended grow, in large pots, or your wasting your time.

but if you want to know a secret to more worms, get some white/brown bread with some marmite on it/vegimite, yeast extract. it works like an asphrodiziac and you get baby worms, dont over do it. just a slice in a worm bin will do it.
your best off keeping worms in a bin and out your grow

Bought a few jars of red worms from the local store and have gone through two grows with them still going strong in my pots. They like to hang out at the top and chow down on the dry amendments and hay I guess. Plants seem to benefit from it.
