The message
from "Franz Heymann" contains

these words:

I do not have any failed worms on my farm. They are thrivind and
rotund.


Rotund doesn't sound much like brandling worms. You're not using
earthworms, by any chance?


I bought them at great expense from a firm which sold them as worms
for composting.
Hoever, Kay used to have a url to a site on worm composting. I think
it was produced by her better half. (The site, that is, not the
compost. {:-))
There, it was stated quite unequivocally that it was unnecessary to
obtain special worms for a wormery, and that garden earthworms were as
good as anything.


You can get composting worms from your garden, but earthworms, ie Lumbricus
terrestris, would not be any use at all. Wrong type completely.
