RED Wigglers in my grow room

Alright everyone I've done some research and read that Red Wigglers are great for your plant and keep the soil aerated. So I went to the white elephant and purchased 5 cartons of them each carton with around 10 or more worms I put 3-5 worms per plant and now I'm playing the waiting game Was this a good idea? BTW I'm using a Promix/SS mix

Let us know! Subscribed. I'll be running an experiment my next grow with 1\2 w\worms half not.

I was thinking about it yesterday... Worm castings, aeration.... But ya,will they survive?

I always find worms in my root balls of any plant

When I use vermicompost, i try to get most of the worms out, but sometimes there are a few escapees. Sometimes it's simply eggs from the compost which hatch in the soil blend.

They will till your soil, poop little pellets of VERY bio-active compost and eat potentially pathogen-causing waste. Just don't overdo it with the worms, too much of a good thing can throw the microbiological balance off.

Well I just transplanted the girls all 18 of em into the SS mix and I seen the little wiggler's moving around everywhere which I was happy to see. The worms will Aerate the soil and eat any root rot that may occur during the grow(although I'm happy to report that during the transplant there were no sign's of any) Just happy plants with tons of roots! Just got to remember to keep the soil a little moist or our little friends will die, I will remember to keep all of you informed on the progress of the plants, Also I do have a little grow journal I started although I like to wait for a big update before I post new things just check in every once in a while One last thing if you do what I'm doing make sure you don't clean your plants fallen/dead leaf's out of the pot the worms will eat them and convert it into very good worm castings

Hey all
Just an update on the wormies I think that some of them may have died and started rotting in my grow room starting to get gnats not sure if its the worms or the Super Soil Mix I made I say this because its all organic but then again I cant really say whats its from! any one know of a good way to get rid of gnats or flies?

The red wigglers are the ultimate composters! In my thread I show you how to make your bin for under 20$. If done correctly they will go on to breed and multiply with zero maintenance costs. (Feed on waste food)
