I had a worm garden as a kid. I'm betting you have a bunch of dead worms soon. they need to eat and if you put a bunch in a 1 gal pot they don't have much room. Just a thought.

would be more like 1 like 5 inch earthworm and about 8-9 little ones my thought is that they would dry up when it goes threw its dry spell

Worms are great for soil. You want the smaller, slightly pink/reddish worms - those are earthworms. The huge one is a nightcrawler - it'll probably die pretty quickly.

The way I water my plants. I would think the worms would drownd or at least come to the top. I wonder if you could combine a worm gargen and a grow.

wouldn't the nutes kill them?and also before watering the soil gets dry and they would die? i would think unless your outside growing leave the worms out.

Organic guy, yeah worms got there foooooooooood. whatever the case they all dug in. if they live they help if they die well wouldnt they just feed the microbes and become more plant food? heh

dont let the room get to hot and if u can put some sugarcane mulch on the top , not only does it hold in moisture like everyother mulch but it also feeds the worms

I sometimes water with light light dose of mollases so there are all kinds of food for them and they've been in ther for over 24 hours and they haven't Came out so guess they've adapted prett well
