Will composting worms live in the garden?
Composting worms can live in the garden as long as there is enough rotting vegetation (like leaves) on top of the soil. This type of worm doesn’t burrow deep like a night crawler does but rather feeds on the surface. They can live in a range of temperatures but they thrive at 60-70 degrees so although they can live in your garden, they may not thrive in northern latitudes or in areas that are constantly out of this temperature range. I keep these worms in bins inside my closet and make compost all winter long. I learned everything I know about these cool critters by reading the popular ebook called Composting for Profit. I am pretty sure this book is still out there. It was at http://www.compostingforprofit.com I hope that answers your question.
