It's World Earthworm Day! 

Did you know there are 9000+ species of earthworms? 

These 9000+ species can be divided into 3 groups:

° anecic worms - worms that build deep vertical burrows in the ground (#nightcrawlers) 
° endogeic worms - worms that build shallow, horizontal burrows, but rarely come to the surface (#greenworms) 
° epigeic worms - worms that live on or near the surface (#redwigglers)

Red wigglers (Eisenia fetida) are the species we raise to produce our #wormcastings. They're our favorites because they're some of the best composting worms around! 

Check out our story for additional #earthworm facts!
