Re: worms
Maybe its just me But I dont think it would have the same effect as using them in a worm composter. I could be wrong Im not a pro at this just a theory

Re: worms
I put worms in mine and worm food on the surface...coffee grounds, leaves.....
The nightcrawlers find their way into my outdoor plants on their own. |

Re: worms
All my pots have red worms in them , they seem to like it. I think they are doing better than the one's in my worm bin.

Re: worms
Ok I'll ask? Why the worms in potted plants...to break up the soil or do they provide nutrients?

Re: worms
Both. They aerate the soil and produce castings.

Re: worms
the main reason i wanted to try this is because I have this citrus plant in a pot and I used cheap potting soil.The citrus has so many thorns on it that repotting is like fighting a porcupine.I was hoping that worms would compost the soil for me.thanks for the input.
