You can always try it as unlike the escargot if the worms did escape they would not get very far. Reason being they require moisture to survive and would most likely dry out and die within several feet of your container. Hope this helps. Bruce Joanna

We will be getting colder temperatures and I want to bring the pot in my home for the winter. I'm afraid I'll wake up one morning and find earthworms on my walls and ceiling. This happened to me with escargot many years ago. I realized even snails have a will to live and have never killed anything for food since. I am a vegetarian for life because of the snails. I am against the slaughter of any animals....so that brings me to the earthworms. I don't want any harm to come to them. If I bring the pot into the house for a warmer climate will the little guys escape? Thank-you I have an aluminum pot on my deck with soil earth worms and seedlings from sweet peppers.
