I still raise worms, several species, or different things:
1. Red wigglies, mixed with Asian orange tips (given to me by my fishing buddy because they get hammered faster than the red wigglies), Euro crawlers, and Canadian crawlers are in my worm bin inside the garage primarily for composting our organics, and targeting smaller fish species. The worm bins are shelved 3'x3'x10" tall, total of 4 drawers.
2. African nightcrawlers and Georgia/Alabama Jumpers for backyard compost pile and soil aeration, also used for fishing larger species.
3. Georgia/Alabama Jumpers and variety of harvested common earth worms within our region for the front yard, primarily for aeration purposes, as a water reduction approach to water-wise saving.
