Maybe hit a snag in the worm hotel. These were rescued from the road. Anyone know if they are suitable for a worm hotel?

I just grabbed about 30 earth worms after a big rain. I throw them in my compost typically but I am not sure how well they adapt to it. I figured being employed is a better deal for them than drowning or being smushed. 😀

I read thinking the same thing. I was kidnapping them, I was recuing them. They are destined for a better life...now get in the bucket!

there are worms like the red wiggles that are better suited to the compost bin or pile. local earthworms aren't as efficient and probably will try to escape, especially if the pile is producing heat. nightcrawlers. while popular with bass fishermen, aren't good composters either. they all have their place, but it just might not be in your pile.

Thanks. It is a worm hotel so they will have a problem getting out. If they all nicely I will let them go.
