Red worms

Not sure where the thread is for the compost with the red worms .was just wondering how to tell if you have red worms or just little night crawlers? Here is a pic of ones that are under a bale of straw next to my compost pile.

Hard for me to tell at that size. I'd guess those are leaf worms though. One way to find out....put them in your bedding and stick them in the fridge. After they've cooled down good...take one out and see how it reacts, as it warms up, in your hand. Leaf worms will get extremely lively as they warm up a bit. And can jump right outta your hand!

Around here the red worms are usually quite a bit smaller than a good sized leaf worm. And the very biggest leaf worm is maybe half the size of a small night crawler.

Hope this helps???

They tell me that I used to eat worms that I found when I was a little kid...I don't remember that, though. This was in the days before "Gummy Worms". That explains a lot of things... In the 60's, anything was possible, and encouraged.
