I added some indoor farmed fishing nightcrawlers and let about 40 of them go, a few in each pot. The containers are 2.5 gallon, so there is plenty of space, do you think of any harm that can be done, they clean up leaf matter at lights off, then aeriate and fertilize the soil during the lights on.

so far its been a few days and they are still in the pots, even after being fertilized with foxfarm, they didnt seem to mind it. Do you think any other pests might have been introduced, but they were not from outdoors, so im doubt theyll even be carrying anything.

Anyone ever tried this,?

from what i have been told from old farmers, if worms will live in your pots, then you have some good soil....if they dont live; they will be a small amount of organic nutes added to your soil.

I took out a plant out of its pot today to check the rootball and there were 2 worms setting right at the bottom, you could see where they had been making tunnels in the soil along the wall of the pot

I have done the same thing with super results. The castings are organic fertilizers, and the tunnel are aeration holes. I would also like to think that them cruising all over helps with the unavoidable root bound nature of 2.5 gal containers.

I put worms in one of my young plants soil a few months back. It is slightly bushier than the rest. I also poured bong water on it once a week. Not only is it not dead or showing signs of damage but it is my most promising plant of the crop. And the worms didn't die from it haha. I bet they were slightly stoopid from it though.

anyone know if you need to feed the worms some like organic waste or something or will they be in soil alone.
