Vermicomposting And Native Species - 2007/01/06 14:49 I recently visited my father at Kovai in Southern India, who introduced me to his brand new vermi-composting pit. He mentioned that the species was from Africa -- I suspect that it is Lumbricus Rubellus (from checking out pics on the web) but am not sure.

My question is: Does the use of vermicast from composting create any environmental concerns regarding introducing exotic species into the soil?

Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks!
