Just got done watering one of my plants, and this guy came tumbling out. Its tiny, about 1.5" long. Sure looks like an earthworm to me, and nothing really to worry about. What do you guys think?

The soil is 6 months old since I bought it.....Makes me think more, that it came from the EWC i used, and not the soil. But who knows. :-)

Well there ya go. The EWC is where it came from. Cocoons probably. Looks like a Red Wiggler. They're great. People buy them, including me. I could use more though since I've neglected some of my soil.

I have never grown in soil, only in coco, so an amateur question -
does it make sense to put several of these worms in each pot so that they loosen the earth and eat dying roots?
Unless, of course, they try to desert with every watering.

I think you would need to add a bunch for them to be useful. But that one was already there, thats why I put him back. Though, if there was enough in there, it would surely be beneficial. At least IMO

adding worms will only aid the soil. I have a "living soil" i am working with and a hand full of worms per container is a must.

I only use soil as well. Worms are always a good addition. Unless you're using some form of commercial nutrients that includes salt and require Flushing, I doubt worms would survive that
