Euros are wonderful fishing worms. They are the only worm to survive brackish salt water, and they are very cold resistant. When tested in the icy waters of northwestern British Columbia, the worms were still very active after 30 minutes in the water. Another Benefit is that European Nightcrawlers do not need to be refrigerated, as the Canadian Nightcrawlers do. They can survive in a bait cup for 3 weeks, or even longer if you take care to add some water and food.

Besides fishing, all our worms are a tasty, high protein treat for turtles, frogs, koi, birds, and lizards, etc.

 Most of the information we have collected on the Euro suggests that they are good for composting. The euros are certainly better for larger foods that aren't as broken down, or for leaves and other tougher material that has not been pre-composted. The Euro can also tolerate higher levels of moisture than the red wiggler, and has been successfully used in paper sludge processing operations. Although, we know that the Eisenia Fotida are excellent "stay at home" type worms. Where the name of the Euros might suggest they are "Night Crawlers".   Consider putting a light on them at night if yours want to travel.

Euros can be successfully introduced to most garden environments. They are mid range dwellers and will till and aerate your soil for you, while supplying valuable castings.
