If you're interested in raising African Nightcrawlers, European Nightcrawlers, or Red Wigglers, for composting or fishing, please read on. Our goal
is to help educate anyone about composting, so you and your fishing & composting worms, get off to a good start. African Nightcrawlers and Red Wigglers can be raised in the same worm bin or bed and are easily distinguishable. European Nightcrawlers and Red Wigglers can coexist in the same bin also. They're cousins, and they don't compete for food either. Alabama Jumpers are better suited for loosening the garden soil and are great for fishing worms.
Our "Worms For Sale" section contains our products. You can visit us on myspace at Alabama Wigglers or visit our Wigglers Blog. In the Worm Facts section, we cover composting worms, bedding, food, breeding & cocoons, bins, etc. The bin PH should be about 6.5 to 7.0. 7.0 is neutral. Rabbit feed is an all around good food source as are fruits and vegetables ran through a mini chopper. A homemade worm chow is easily made. Worms love rabbit manure; it doesn't have to go through the heating process prior to feeding like other manures: straight out of the rabbit and into the worm bin. We have African Nightcrawler Cocoons for sale as an economical way to get started with these larger earthworms. Just added are European Nightcrawler Cocoons. The European Nightcrawler Cocoons hatch material will provide you with approximately 30 to 50 pounds of adult nightcrawlers. There's alot of information on the internet about raising NightCrawlers and Wigglers, but I'm going to help you because I raise my own for fishing
& composting. It's in the Raising Nightcrawlers & Red Wigglers guide. African Nightcrawlers are great for composting more fibrous materials while providing nicer castings. African Nightcrawlers need a temperature of at least 60*F to be prolific. They will survive in lower temperatures and will hatch at 60*F. I have proven that. Worm castings, vermicast, or just plain worm poop, is called "Black Gold" because it's packed with nutrients and great for plants. Have you thought about what these giant, record setting pumpkins and vegetables are grown in? Starting
a worm farm? Alabama Wigglers.com supplies large quantities. Don't hesitate to contact us with your African Nightcrawlers, European Nightcrawlers, or Red Wigglers needs.
