Eudrilius eugeniae is also known as the African Nightcrawler.
Known for its size and appetite,
this tropical worm species
tolerates
higher temperatures
than its composting cousins.
The African Nightcrawler can grow over 8 inches in length and is largest
composting
worm. The dark, nutrient rich vermipost created by this earthworm is prized amongst
the
organic gardeners.
Raise African Nightcrawler for fishing as well. It is second only in size to
the Canadian
Nightcrawler (the kind you find in the refrigerator at the bait
shop). They breed quickly and can consume large amounts of organic material -- the larger the worm, the
more it can eat!
The African Nightcrawlers are shipped in breathable bags and are breeder size.
There are approximately 250 worms per pound.
Add African Nightcrawlers to your indoor compost bin
or
outdoor
compost pile.
