European Nightcrawler Facts:
European Nightcrawlers (ENC) are larger than red wigglers, eat the same foods, multiply fast, and are tolerant of a wide variety of conditions! We recommend Euros to any worm farmer. Commonly used as a fishing worm as well! Also known as Super Reds, they are the most popular compost worm in Europe!
ENCs are for indoor and outdoor raising. ENC (or their cocoons) will survive the winter outside in a large compost bin, garden bed, or raised bed. Add lots of organics to your bin throughout the winter to keep the bin hot and worms active! We recommend having both an indoor and outdoor compost bin, the indoor bin for regular composting and the outdoor for large batches of food scraps or as a backup.
ENCs can tolerate a wide variety of temperatures between 0 and 35 degrees celsius but thrive in temperatures above 20 degrees celsius.
They are the cousin to the Red Wiggler (Eisenia Fetida) but can grow larger and burrow deeper. They can co-exist with other worm species.
