I disagree with the final point - yes you can use the small redworms
but I think you should buy a particular sort of worm : dendras which
you can buy online or from a fishing tackle shop which do a much
better job.

I thought that the small red worms which wiggle a lot were the right sort
for vermiculture. I find loads of these in the normal compost heap.


"Dendras" are short for Dendrobaena veneta. They, along with Eisenia
(tiger worm or brandling) are native UK worms living in high humus
conditions, so as Rupert says, use the ones you find in your compost
heap, don't waste money buying.
