They reproduce sexually and asexually. When a round worm is hermaphroditic, it fertilizes itself (in most cases). Some hermaphroditic round worms reproduce by exchanging sperm. When a round worm has a specific gender (male or female) it reproduces sexually.

Earthworms must mate to reproduce, even though one earthworm contains both male and female reproductive organs. Eggs are formed in a slime tube that slips over the worm's head and forms a cocoon or capsule that incubates them. Eggs develop into tiny worms in the cocoon and crawl out through one end when ready to emerge. Cocoons vary in size and shape and are about 1/25 to 1/3 inch long. Some fast-maturing worms mature three to four months after hatching and will start their breeding cycle. Eggs are laid on top of the ground at one-month intervals, with each egg capsule containing 5 to 15 baby worms. If starting with two breeder beds, the crop will be ready for harvesting in about five months and continuing thereafter with proper care. Nightcrawlers are difficult to impossible to raise in homemade containers. Most resort to picking these worms from lawns, gardens and orchards for storing and future use. Worms live 10 to 15 years."

Hookworms, like other roundworms, reproduce by sexual reproduction. A male hookworm shoots sperm into the reproductive tract of the female, thus creating new hookworms.

How many worms do you need for a regular compost bin?

A proper compost bin that is working well will be too hot for worms. If it is set on the ground, then worms will come up from the earth if they want to. You can use a worm farm to break down food scraps. Several thousand worms are good for this, depending on its size, but you can start with a few hundred and they will breed, if you look after them properly.


What is the process of a worm-farm?

The basic process of a worm farm, for profit or for your own use and sharing, is to provide worms (usually red worms) a medium where they have adequate food and moisture within contained beds. This allows the worms to eat and breed. Most worms mate by coming to the surface and joining at a particular spot in their bodies. A common earthworm has a recognizable band near it's center where two worms join together.
