These are but a few of the Eisenia fetida populating our compost piles. Having never thought much of them until about 2 years ago, I have since discovered how efficient they are at turning our refuse into quality fertilizer, at building soil and overall being highly beneficial to the whole environment. So now I feel like selling, or giving away - to the deserving poor - some of them. So if you are in the greater Providence area - feel free to reach out, and you too may be on your way to the wonders of vermiculture!

They are the best friend of farmers.

Черви хорошо на огороде рыхлят почву. Но кроты поедают червей. На червей хорошо ловить рыбу. Хорошего урожая!!!

Sadly I am not in your area :)

Я с вами согласен красные черви очень полезны. Они рыхлят у меня на даче землю. К растениям подходит кислород и они начинают лучше расти. Земля становится рыхлой.

Perfect picture. I saw a person catching fish by these at the time.

Nice wigglers!

They are great as fishing baits. Here in my village, people only use them as bait. :)

Dear sir, what are these? I have never seen these before.

I think they are pretty much everywhere.

These are common earth worms:

an excellent post, worms always helped our earth,many use their for fishing

They are also called earthworms. In Western Europe, wounds were treated with powder from dried worms. Large species of worms were used to feed Australian aborigines.
