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. Firstly, the worms were sold to me by a firm which specialises in worm composting accessories. In which case they will not be 'earthworms'. Secondly, that url to which Kay used to draw our attention was written by someone whose professional research is concerned with a study of worms. Do I believe him ot you? As I studied the ecology of Earthworms extensively at university, I would suggest a third possibility: you have incorrectly remembered what you read on this site. If you would care to provide a direct link to your evidence, I will, of course, apologise. Similarly, if it turns out that you are mistaken, perhaps you could do the decent thing? -- "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." -- Albert Einstein |
