    Earthworms in FF Ocean Forest

    The earthworms in my little compost experiment are alive and happy as earthworms in compost. Well fed. Chubby little butts shake when they run for cover after being put back in the soil after a health check. Ever try to get a heartbeat from an animal that doesn't have a real heart? Harder than trying to hear when you get one to turn it's head and cough.
    Think they would be good in my fresh Ocean Forest soil?
    Does aaaaaanyone have a single, monochrome thought about this? Would they lose their worm fat and bulk up and power through?
    What with OF being a 'super' soil and junk?
    Anyone. Just one single opinion. Talk amongst yourselves and get back to me. Choose a spokesperson.
    No rush.
    C'mon, mule!

    Worms are awesome, I use them outdoors but don't use Fox Farms out there. Why not just fill a small container with Ocean Forest and put a couple worms in it?

      Now I am a rookie here. What exactly do earthworms do? My first thaught is they would cause damage? What are the benefits and how would you use them?

        Ooh, MooseKnuckle420 worms are magic. They're instant composters. They aerate soil by burrowing through. Their poop is in much of the boutique grow soils. It makes for a great compost tea. They're not much into eating roots. If one pisses you off, you can go fishing.
        FunkyButtLovin the worms are in a small scale compost thing I have going on on my balcony. I'd rather they do their thing there or try the OF. Black Magic soil is being worked in at the same time to help things along. Not so much to worry about breaking down. I also have meal worms in there.

            A few days ago I was digging worms for my pots (yes in the winter), moved a log and it pulled open and revealed a huge ball of worms! I have something like 2 dozen in each 7 gallon pot now.
            I dont see any issue with FF soil and worms, but I have never used FF soils, so one may need to feed the worms, IDK!!

            Worm pee, build your worm bed above ground with a drain, run water through it and catch it to use on your plants! I am going to do one with an old fiberglass boat, cant sell them, this would be a good way to recycle them!
