Can you mix European Nightcrawlers and Red Worms in a compost bin?


Also, I am starting my own compost bin, and I wanted some general dos and don’ts… Thanks a bunch :)

You could but it is not recommended. The nightcrawlers are not as hardy as the red worms, even though they are bigger, nor as adaptable to varying temperatures and moisture conditions. I have heard that if you put them together , the nightcrawlers will not thrive.
