What are the traits of segmented worms?

Answer 1

Segmented worms, lets just use an earthworm as an example, prefer moist, not wet, comditions. If you want to keep one, this is what I suggest. I have kept many, many worms in order to entertain children, and sometimes myself, and have done quite an amount of research. Find a tall glass jar if it is for entertaining, if it is a project it works well too. If you cannot find one, a plastic bin or other container will work. Find some leaves, you may pick them off trees or off the ground, and put them in the jar. Then fill the jar with about four or so inches of either "wild" dirt, or dirt you got from a bag. Any dirt works well, as long as it has no mold. Besides otherwise beleifs, segmented worms eat decaying plants for nutrition, not dirt. After that step, you may put in more leaves if you wish, but it is not required. Put in a little less than an inch of sand, then three more inches of dirt. Finnaly, put a few leaves in water for about half an hour or until sort of mushy like. Put it in as a "topping" in the jar, and release the worms into to jar. Remember to put more leaves in the jar regularly, and spray the dirt with a spray bottle about ten times every day to keep the soil moist. There are no other very important needs, and plants are not required. I hope this helped. And to let you know, worms do not eat plants, just the decaying leaves. i suggest you put worms in plant pots with you plants. They will loosen the soil, making it easier for the roots to grow, and they will eat any dead leaves, and the leaves will decompose more quickly. I do hope you have fun with your worm farm.
