Description

Dhara Organics Presents 100% Live Pure & Rich Earthworm For Composting They're often called red wigglers, tiger worms, manure worms, composting worms, and the trout worms. The red worm’s voracious appetite makes it the champion of the compost bin and a virtual worm casting (a.k.a. worm poop) machines. Red worms are fairly small, generally getting no larger than 5 inches. But don’t underestimate them. It is estimated that red worms eat nearly 3 times their weight each week. Red worms are prolific breeders and 9 weeks after birth red worms are mature. Baby red worms hatch from small lemon shaped cocoons. So even your youngest red worms will be breeding within about 2 ½ months and producing their own cocoons. Each cocoon holds an average of five small red worms; typically three will ultimately hatch, emerge, and begin reproducing.
