Baby worms?

Yea, aren't they just baby worms? Means the soil is alive and healthy right?
Yes but they are a completely different type of worm, but it composts all the same. Your soil is alive and thriving, great job! As soon as you plant a plant in the soil (I would start with some clover), You will notice that the population of white worms (potworms) drops while the plant adjusts ph to its comfort zone and the red wrigglers become dominant again. Red wriggler babies are also always red from birth in my observations.

keysareme that is what they look like. to the t ! do i continue as planed or should i add ph adjustments. this my first run with super soil, so im a lil cautious. i made 2, three cubic ft batches. and the one that has worms i added some lobster kelp fert. for some extra 0-0-06 since subs recipe is n-p and no k.
i was going to plant in batch one and then batch 2 and then mix 1 &2 and plant one
the bend in the safety pin is .375 or 3/8
