I think there's a little confusion here. I don't put the worms themselves in my soil.

I use the poop that the worms produce (castings) from what i feed them while in these barrels, then after taking the worms out of the finished poop, i mix it with my soil as a compost.

Hope that clears things.

AND LOOK AT THE RESULT.

I am waiting to see the results where the worm castings were used compared with the control.

Haven't really gotten around to the controlled testing yet to be honest. Moved houses n had a baby so been pretty hectic the last few months.

I am however preparing some raised beds for veggies in my garden. And I'll be dumping lots of castings in there (along with some other compost). Will share the pics when its up and running.....

I'll also get around to setting up a WC vs other compost test.

Good would be looking forward to your results, no result is of any value without a control.

kindly tell me from where u get red worms in pakistan, i searched them in punjab but found nothing.

I’m thinking of starting a worm bin as well .. any advise or tips that you have learned so far?
