Euro Night Crawler Worm

[Carl Chao]

Hi Folks,

I am considering starting a bait worm farm at home. Done a bit research. Now I am looking for a cheap supply of baby Euro Night Crawler Worm around Calamvale QLD. Could anyone shed some light on it?

I contacted a couple suppliers. But they had different species.

Any suggestion / comment would be appreciated.

Regards,

Carl

African night crawlers are normaly sold for fresh water fishing ive never heard of the Euro night crawlers worms before.

Euro night crawler is a new species in Aus market. Market price is around 50c each. People said it worked far better than its African cousin. :-)

here in north America there are places where they are considered an invasive species and possession is banned. they eat up the leaf litter in forests depriving the native species of flora and fauna those nutrients and habitat.
they do make excellent fishing bait, however, and for the home gardener are very beneficial to the soil.
