Other Composting Worms

There are three key species that contribute to organic waste breakdown in wormeries:

1. Tiger Worm (Eisenia fetida) – The most effective for composting.
2. Bluenose Worm (Dendrobaena veneta) – Efficient but not as adaptable as Tiger worms.
3. Redworm / Red Wiggler (Eisenia andrei) – Works well but less effective than Tiger worms.
