"Regional" Redworms - 2006/05/01 13:56
Here is my question/situation. I recently hit the mother load of worms from my future MIL's horse manure pile. I had found a few worms in a load of manure the other half hauled home one day, so I decided to go out there and poke around a bit. Well this past Saturday I went out and sure enough I found the sweet spot. Each handful/scoop had tons of worms, I would guess a hundred per two fistfuls, it was fun to see so many.
I know these are still manure/compost worms and should probably be fine in my outdoor worm bin. The question is how would I go about finding out what variety these worms might be? Is there a particular redworm that is native to the Pacific NW? Is there a reference guide that some one would recommend that talks about this, or shows pictures?
Truely this is just my curiosity getting the better of me. I have no intention of selling these or marketing, just need them to eat poop, but I like to know useless information, so am curious to know what type of redworms I have. The look the same as the redworms I previously purchased and have in my indoor bins.
