Redworms in the wild

August 10th, 2010

I had a call from someone who read my blog a while ago; I’m sorry, I forgot to note her name.

Her child was using redworms for a school science experiment, and had finished the experiment up. They were looking for a good home for their redworms now. In particular, she was concerned about polluting the environment with her worms.

Though this is an issue in some environments, Colorado is not one of them. I counseled her to dump her worms in the compost bin.  There, they’ll either thrive, if they get enough food and the conditions are damp enough, or die, and add their nitrogen to the compost.
