Got worms?

Hey, does anyone on the Big Island (Hawaii) need Indian Blue worms for their vermicomposting bins? I need to separate the worms and castings this weekend and would like to share the wealth, depending on how much extra I have. I'll probably have at least half a pound of worms to share. Only request I make is that when yours reproduce that you share your extras with others so they can start their own bin. If you want the worms, I'll be happy to help you start your own bin!

Perionyx excavatus, anyone?

In Hawaii, these Indian Blue earthworms (Perionyx excavatus) are pretty common vermicomposting worms and are much more active than the *ordinary* red wrigglers (Eisenia foetida). I don't think you'd ever find red wrigglers hanging out on the insides of your worm bin. They grow faster, they reproduce faster, and zip around and are so much more fun to watch! My friend Jennifer gave me a bunch of red wrigglers and they are pretty sluggish compared to these that have, I dare say, personality! And yes, that is castings on the side. Poop all over the place!
