Worms In a Box

How many would you add to a 5gal fabric pot?

They’re coming in today (some red wigglers).

I would probably put 5 -10 or so and then use a rest in a compost bin.

Ah yes, Venus Flytrap, alias Gordon Simms or as they called him in reality, Tim Reid. I remember him well. Don’t recall ever seeing him in anything else but he was funny.

I would do 5-7. Be sure to have organic goodies in your mix and in 5 months you’ll have 20-30 which will be too many for a 5g pot. Haha.

Truth is high quality EWC like Jims or Cowoco will have enough living to get started. Ive seen worms in a bag of Malibu iirc.

Yaay worms!!

Peace

Well, depends how you using, u could use it at around 30% of soil mix… u can top dress, u can add to your water and water it in…

Its also full of worm cocoons which produce around 3-5 worms… so using this will inoculate your soil with worms as well!
