To learn more about red worms, read Worms Eat My Garbage by Mary Alppelhof, probably the best book written about using worms for making vermicompost. Thanks to Lester Robinson of Port Orchard, we now have a motorized screen that sorts worms from the vermi-compost. Red worms harvested from the Big Bin can be used in established worm bins and well aged manure piles. Worms will not survive if tossed in the garden or added to 'hot' compost piles or the black rolling containers.
Worms are available at some retail locations.

Kitsap E-Z Earth uses a special variety of red worm called Eisenia fetida . You cannot put a container of Eisenia fetida red worms in your garden because they will disappear and wiggle off to find a good aged manure pile.
