since people use worm castings as fertilizer
if you use some organics so you dont kill them,
couldnt you just put some worms in your pot?

if the pot is big enough then they shouldnt drown when you water your plants


just a thought,
any comments?

What happens when they die or get out and sit on a tarp basking under a 400w light.....Whew that smell bro is the wores thing in the world. Just go get castings IMO maybe its better to use live worms I dunno

This spring when I move my Veggies out to the back deck, I will not be buying any soil. My area (nj) is supposed to have some super rich soil for matoes and such. I will simply go dig the dirt up and fill my pots up. If I get worms.. well I will concider tha a good omen. The worms will be a sign of great soil. I once had 5gal buckets setting in my yard down in houston around the edge of my raised garden.. I'll be damned if those worms didnt crawl into the buckets thru the drain holes. I always use a nice layer of course rock on the bottom for better drainage..guess it was easy access.

so i guess it may be just as beneficial as using worm castings as long as they dont crawl out and dry up under the lights haha

composting worms dont live in soil like that. They are just under the surface dwellers and wouldnt take to your soil buckets very well.

I can promise you, all the worms you try to put in your bucket will try to escape or die.

Compost worms are for just that........compost. Use them to eat up kitchen scraps (no protiens please) and other goodies.

Besides the fact that the normal cycle for marijuana is much too fast for worms to compost anything in the buckets.

just a high thought, thanks for the input

I wish I lived where I could compost....I need to move to some land damnit

What if you cut a worm in half when you dig the shovel into the ground? Will it still be a good 'omen'?

Hey its happened to me I felt a bit guilty.


On another note I grew some stuff in my bathroom using potting mix purchased at a store

i would feed it old fruit/vegetable skins on the surface of the dirt
e
and guess what, i found a worm in the soil at one point

i have no idea how it got there, it was never outside

i left the worm in and enjoyed the rich black soil

ive used worms in my soil in pots before outdoors and they always stuck around. i dont know if they would enjoy the indoor enviornment though

this thread is very contradictory to my worm exeriences. when planting some seeds at the beginning of fall. i gathered some worms that i foundand put them in and buried them. the plant that they are in is still a nce green colorand is healthy as ever. i recentlyfound out that the worms arebreeding in therebecause a baby red worm came out the bottum. putit back in and thats the only one who has come out. they have the sense to stay in. not only do they rovde continual time release fertilizer. but they aerate the sol by moving around. all iknow is have enough worms to bebreedingin there andthe plant seems to ber lovn it. so i would have to disaree with just about everyting stated in this thread so far.imade a thread about it. its called accidental worm breeding. check it out
