Default What kind of worms?

I was told here some time ago
that the worms provided with wormeries
are the same as the worms anglers use.

When I went to my locl angling shop and requested worms,
I was asked whether I wanted "rag worms",
which I gathered are for sea angling, or "garden worms".

Which would be most appropriate for a wormery?

Tiger worms from an angling shop. I suspect he really meant tiger worms, not
garden worms.

But you should be able to get them free from some humus rich soil. They
breed vary rapidly in the right conditions. I can pick them up in
handfuls from my compost heap, like living spaghetti.
