| Redworms (Eisenia foetida) - A
non-burrowing worm. AKA: California Red, California Redworm,
Brandling, Redworm, Tiger Worm. |
 |
This worm is most frequently confused with the "Other Red Worm"
called the Lumbricus ruebellus.This worm has more girth and is
slightly longer than the Eisenia foetida. You can keep the Lumbricus
ruebellus in a standard bed but it will not breed, or is very
difficult to breed and then will not reproduce in significant
numbers to be beneficial to the "worm farmer". This non-burrowing
worm is seldom found more than 12 inches below the surface. Hostile
conditions on the surface will not usually force these worms down,
but they will leave out the top of the bed. This is the best all
around worm that you can grow. It is tough and will remain in
the beds with minimum migration. They are very sensitive to
vibrations, as are most worms, and will take a couple of days to
settle down. It is best to put them into your new beds in the
morning and then keep lights on them for the first 24 or 48 hours.
If they still want to crawl, then you have a problem with the
bedding. |

| European Night Crawlers (Eisenia hortensis)
A Fantastic Bait Worm ! |
| Tired of scrawny, half dead worms that you can't get on a No. 6
hook. Or maybe you are getting the Canadian Night Crawler that
is as active as a slug. The European Night
Crawler™ is shipped to you fresh from our farms. The
dew worm or the Canadian worm is kept near freezing in coolers for
months before they get to you. This worm is fantastic for all
types of fish. The European Night
Crawler™ is the toughest worm on the market and the only
earthworm that can be used in the brackish salt water. I have
tested this worm for ice fishing in Northwestern British Columbia
where the ice was 18 inches thick. It out fished all the other
bait worms including the native Night Crawler The European
Night Crawler™ was still very active on the hook after 30 minutes in
these freezing waters. This worm has the toughness of the red
wiggler and the action of the Alabama Jumper. |

| Lawn and Garden Worm Culture |
 |
This is a mixture of three species of worms that will adjust to
about any climate. The temperature and climate will determine
which of the three worms we become dominant. The Eisenia is a
surface dweller, the Pheritema is a deep burrowing worm and the
Dendrobaena is an intermediate burrowing worm and is considered a
great leaf worm. Comes with directions for care of garden
culture. Excellent for new and established lawns.
Approximately 1500 to 2000 worms per 5 lb. culture. Contains
egg capsules, small and large worms.
Excellent for organic gardeners. |
