I'm wondering. Does anyone put worms into their grow bags/pots indoors?

didnt do it purposefully but a dozen or so would always end up in them from the worm farms. recycled (then) they would return to the bins in a few months.

They end up in my smart pots when I add fresh EWC from the recycled soil bin. Some of them seem like they wanna leave the farm; it is getting crowded in there even with a 5 tray stack. So the stubborn fuckers who don't go deep when I harvest castings get to ride along for the full cycle or I assume they die and are consumed by fungus. Never found a dead one...so I wonder where'd they all go?

Dear Richard,
Worms' bodies have a huge water content. I think it is more than 90%. When they die, there is not much left. and what is left is food for the rhizosphere.
Wateringly yours,

One thing I remember from reading Teaming with Microbes is that mycorrhizae fungi can enter and consume a dead worm in just a few days. Fascinating shit
