Big worms with huge appetites
“If you need to get a grip…get a grip of African nightcrawler worms!”
African Nightcrawlers (ANC) are one of the best worms for quickly decomposing organic matter and for significantly improving soil health. Whether your compost bin needs a “workhorse” or your soil needs a “medic”, Rocky Mountain Organic Supply can supply you with healthy, energetic nightcrawlers excellent for vermicomposting and gardening.
Why Choose African Nightcrawlers for Vermicomposting?
Like a feeding-frenzy of hungry sumo wrestlers, our African Night Crawlers will eat your compost bin out of house and home (in a good way)!
Top 3 reasons you’ll produce more vermicompost using our African Nightcrawlers:
- Consume and decompose more organic matter than other compost worms
- Eat 100% – 150% of their body weight per day
- Grow larger (2x), mature and reproduce more quickly than Red Wiggler Worms
Benefits of Using African Nightcrawlers in Your Garden
Save money and relax with the extra time you’ll have from putting ANC to work. Once acclimated, they’ll diligently transform your soil in to a nutrient dense utopia to grow bigger, healthier plants without using chemicals.
- More muscular; burrow deeper, improving the soil food web to benefit plant root-zones further below ground
- Help increase the amount of air and water in soil from the surface to about 4 feet underground
- Eat, decompose and convert more organic matter in gardens providing plants quicker nutrient absorption
