European Nightcrawler Composting Worms

European nightcrawler composting worms (Eisenia hortensis) are a versatile choice for vermicomposting. They are fairly beginner-friendly, although they can be a little less forgiving than red wigglers and may require closer attention to bin conditions.

These larger composting worms thrive in moist bedding and organic waste and help turn food scraps into nutrient-rich vermicast. Their larger size also makes them popular for fishing bait.

A Versatile Choice for Composting & Bait

European nightcrawlers are a great choice for:

• Starting or expanding a worm bin
• Composting household food scraps
• Contained vermicomposting systems
• Worm keepers who want a larger composting species
• Fishing bait
  

Choose from multiple quantities based on the size and needs of your setup.
