| I just started vermicomposing by digging up some worms and putting them into my prepared bin. But I'm not sure if I got red wrigglers, and I heard other types of worms don't do so well on fresh kitchen scraps. Would someone be able to describe or post pictures of how I can tell them apart? |

| go to my homepage www.greenmountainsoil.com and there's a good pick of about two pounds of red wigglers. There's an orange stripe between the segments that's a dead giveaway that what you have is a red wiggler. Kurt |

| the one on the right is Sam, the one on the left is Julie, the crowd in the middle are the kids :) mostly any worm you find in a soil with a lot of organic material [like a good lawn, or your garden] will be fine Bill |
