"Nobody loves me,everybody hates me,

I think I will go and eat worms"

I can't remember the rest but I think it involved a big, at woolly one and a long,thin slimy one..

Thanks Von that is the sort of info she is looking for.

We have a worm farm, as they are called here in Oz. We've had it for just over a year now and the thing is really churning out the good stuff, both solid and liquid.

We also have a couple of compost bins and we do find earthworms in them, but as someone else has said (Island?) they are totally different to the worms used in the farm.

The soils here, which are basically sand, need a heck of a lot of 'building up' as we are situated on what is known as the Swan Coastal Plain

The worms are called brandlings and I had them for making compost but my son nicked them for fishing :-| :-D :-D :-D. You can buy them at fishing bait shops and add them to the compost bin to do their work

Like most living things they die if you don’t feed them. So when your compost is almost ready there are often fewer worms.
