Worm Composting

I have received a number of emails asking why I state the African nightcrawlers must be raised in temperatures of 70 degrees to 85 degrees Fahrenheit when other sites state that they can live in temperatures of 60 degrees, some 45 degrees and others state they can survive freezing temperatures during the overnight hours.

I get asked many times a month, how much food I should feed my red wiggler worms as well as African and European nightcrawlers. There are many variables which come into play, hence each environment is different.

African Nightcrawlers are one of the best composting worms as well as make an excellent fishing. These worms are also highly prolific however take longer to mature as well as reach full size…

Actually in this article I will give you a great grain recipe which also helps to maintain an almost perfect , constant PH level for your worms whether Red Wigglers, African Nightcrawlers, Europeans… as well as an additional red worm food formula!

One area that is overlooked when it comes to the African nightcrawler is the fact that it eats more food than other red worms, including red wigglers and European nightcrawlers.
