Six can be considered the number of species of compost worms even though only three tend to predominate. The most effective and popular of the composting-friendly annelids range from Dendrobaena venta (blue noses) to Eisenia andrei (red tigers), Eisenia fetida (brandling, manure or tiger worms), and Lumbricus rubellus (bloodworms, red wigglers, redworms). The complete list also will include Amynthas gracilis(Alabama jumpers), Aporrectodea caliginosa (common pasture earthworms), Lumbricus terrestris (common night crawlers, dew-worms) and Perionyx excavatus (blue worms).

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.
