Why compost with worms?
Redworms
the vital ingredient
( scientific name eisenia fetida) also known as Red Wigglers are the best worms for composting. They are common to much of North and South America as well as other areas of the world. This worm grows to about two to three inches long and is a prolific breeder, and will compost many times it's weight in organic matter.Red worms do amazing things for our planet. They are nature's living compost machines. They devour organic waste and turn it into thick, dark, nutrient rich compost that will cause yields in gardens to increase and indoor plants to thrive.

I am thinking that worms would go very good with my BioPod, as I could use the compost from BioPod to feed my worms?
Please check out my lens, and let me know what you think?
