Ready for an inexpensive and interactive way to begin your worm farming adventures? Give your garden or compost a boost with our European Nightcrawler Worm Cocoons! Each cocoon contains the potential to hatch into strong, healthy European Nightcrawlers (Eisenia hortensis), known for their incredible soil aeration, composting abilities, and versatility as both fishing bait and natural soil enhancers.

Why Choose European Nightcrawler Cocoons?

  • Sustainable Soil Aerators: European Nightcrawlers dig deeper than typical composting worms, loosening the soil for better water retention and root growth, making them ideal for gardeners and composters alike.

  • Organic Waste Breakers: Known for their exceptional composting abilities, these nightcrawlers will help break down organic waste into rich, nutrient-dense compost, perfect for promoting healthy plant growth.

  • Economical and Long-Lasting: Starting with cocoons is an affordable way to grow your worm population. Each cocoon has the potential to hatch 1 to 4 worms, ensuring a steady growth of your worm farm over time.

  • Great for Fishing: European Nightcrawlers are larger than red wigglers, making them excellent fishing bait. They're tough, lively, and effective at catching a variety of fish.

Cocoon Details:

  • Species: Pure European Nightcrawler (Eisenia hortensis)
  • Cocoon Size: 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch

  2. Maintain Ideal Conditions: Keep bedding moist and at room temperature for optimal hatching. Avoid extreme temperatures.
