Celia, when I lived in an apartment I made and kept a worm box for a few years to make fertilizer for my house plants. In 1995 we bought a house with a garden out back and we made a compost bin so I dumped the worms in it. We’ve kept it up since then. Whenever I move the top layer of vegetable matter and look deeper down there are so many worms that it looks like a solid mass of moving ground meat. The variety of worms I have is Red Wigglers, which are very pink and quite thin and not very long, maybe 2-2.5 inches. They’re different from the regular earthworms which are much thicker, longer, and more grayish in color. They’ve been there 28 years now and there must be millions of them.
