Eisenia fetida, known under various common names, including redworms, brandling worms, tiger worms and red wiggler worms, are a species of earthworm adapted to decaying organic material. They thrive in rotting vegetation, compost, and manure; they are epigeal. They are rarely found in soil, instead like Lumbricus rubellus they prefer conditions where other worms cannot survive. They are used for vermicomposting. They are native to Europe, but have been introduced (both intentionally and unintentionally) to every other continent except Antarctica, occasionally threatening native species.

Eisenia foetida, or"European Night crawlers."are non native Red worms,This is why we
with any non-native species, it is important not to allow them to reach the wild. Their voracious appetites and reproductive rates (especially among the red wigglers) have been known to upset the delicate balance of the hardwood forests by consuming the leaf litter too quickly. This event leaves too little leaf letter to slowly incubate the hard shelled nuts and leads to excessive erosion as well as negatively affecting the pH of the soil. So, do your best to keep them confined!

Here is a Helpful link in what to consider composting.
What goes in comes out. Compost material that has not been exposed to pesticides,herbicides,fertilizers,growth Hormones,and animal medications is seldom considered.
Grains that are genetically design for the crop to be sprayed with Roundup and used in Vermicomposting have serious effects on the worms.(Scientists reveal negative impact of Roundup Ready GM crops
The greater Percentages of soy beans and corn crops use this chemical.
 We compost material that has not been exposed to pesticides,herbicides,fertilizers,growth Hormones,and animal medications . What you put in is what you get out. We do not compost grains,newspaper and cardboard .Certain materials contain chemicals that do not break down. Grass clipping, shrubbery, and manures are of great concern. Certain Grains  are genetically design to spray the crops with Roundup.  It is important with composting with a Native Red Worm to Florida. We have found in 51 years of composting that toxins build up if you compost with contaminated material. Grains ,Lawn clippings,vegetable mater from commercial growing operations or Lawns carry excessive amounts of Pesticides,Herbicides which in turn kill the composting Worms.We find that manure from large dairy farms could have antibiotics or growth hormones. When obtaining any compost from animal manure such as cows ,horses, rabbits remember most people medicate and this comes out in the manure. Cow manure from Grass feed cows has been a good source for great compost. It important to get live microbes when buying compost. The amount of moisture is very important. Dry compost has less microbes. Fresh Compost with a fair amount of moisture is full of life.
