redworms
Bin-dwelling decomposers
Redworms are small reddish earthworms used for composting and fishing bait.
They thrive in decaying organic matter, breaking down kitchen scraps and yard waste into nutrient-rich castings.
Vermicomposters keep bins of redworms to process food waste: The redworms turned our vegetable scraps into garden gold.
Also called red wigglers.
