earthworms in the soil

[DIGITALHIPPY]

not talkin about the compost pile.
seams i got earthworms into my ffof somehow.
i do reuse the ffof without problems. no other bugs.
usualy mix it with fresh perlite and new ffof in a trash can. only noticed them after it was all mixed.
im not too worried, just thinking they might make some hot spots.
they dont eat live roots right only decaying matter?

Worms are GOOD!

Worms are GOOD!

I bought some from a bait shop and added a few from my garden for genetic diversity. They keep my soil nice and fluffy and fertilized!

so how do i feed these guys?
i like your idea of the bait shop worms.
how much did u pay?

they probably just love eating up the old roots.

Will the Nutes kill them?

i use mostly organic AN nutes.

alot of benies also.
RO water


they first showed up when i chopped this girl and reused the soil


what exactly is a "casting" is that like when snakes shed there skin?
ive read online it contains alot of beneficial bacteria and uneaten food.

Worm castings are just the materials they have processed through their gut...

yeah, i use almost only earthworms and some light basic fertilazion for the vegetative state. they produce a lot of N and some P also so its good to add those worms in the start of vege period and not when it's close to start 12/12. it takes about 2 weeks before their presence starts to effect.
