So why are Tiger worms best for a Wormery? The short answer:- There are three native species of worm which are all good at the rapid processing of dead organic waste into nutrient rich compost these are:- The Tiger worm, aka the Brandling worm. The scientific name: Eisenia fetida The Bluenose worm, aka Dendobaena & the European night crawler & by some as Eisenia hortensis. Proper name Dendrobaena veneta The Redworm, aka the red wiggler & the Brandling worm. Proper name Eisenia andrei All are good & will work well in your wormery. But, for adaptability, conditions tolerance, versatility & composting rate the answer is..... The Tiger Worm. Some Worm facts Tiger worms are a little more expensive & significantly but not overwhelmingly better than Dendrobaena in Wormeries. Young worms are preferable (hungrier!) to older worms. When it comes to composting
- the condition, age, size & species of worm is more important than their weight. Tiger worms reach sexual maturity (they are hermaphrodite) in approx 6 weeks. Dendrobaena are more widely available than Tigers as there is an established 'cottage' industry breeding them for anglers who hook them up as bait. They are also easier to harvest & are usually cheaper.
