I've used African nightcrawlers since about '09. They're very heat tolerant and do a pretty good job at composting. Plus, they're large enough for the kids to use as bait. Pan fish and trout love these worms. Love your videos. Keep up the great content. 👍

I just found your channel and yesterday I brought home my first batch of red wigglers. I am a life long gardener and I was wondering if you could use bone meal for grit?

[@plumbingdoctorgh7993]

Thanks sir please how do i identify red wiggle and tinge worms

[@jodyvollmer4125]

Will red Wiggers survive in a garden bed during Pennsylvania winters? Sometimes 20 below zero

I not sure if you guys have ever done a vod on Asian Jumping worms. I heard they're becoming a big issue in the midwest. It would be interesting to hear your perspective.
Sorry for the random comment.
Cheers 🌱🪱

[@UrbanWormCompany]

This is a great idea Clive. Adding it to the list!

[@Mstymntntop]

If you were to put a single type of worm, what would you put in a grow bag?

[@UrbanWormCompany]

Probably red wigglers.

[@shirojankitchen4412]

Worms have problem with biochar or wood ash?

[@UrbanWormCompany]

Biochar, no. Wood ash possibly.

Depending on the image/photo you're referring to, it's possible they are. One of the images is a stock photo.
