Its about 7cm long. The Red wiggler will transform
leaves and other remnants of plants into good
humus.


The composting champion



Red Worms ( Eisena Fetida) are the most efficient

composting worms. There are other worms around
who do the same job , but none of those worms is as
efficient as the Red wiggler.
And that makes them very usable for you:
These worms can process youre kitchen waste into
usable humus. This proces is called "vermicomposting",
an easy way to reduce the amount of organic waste
that you produce. Vermicomposting is completely odorless.




The red wiggler feels at home between youre carbage.
