For many people, worms are just creepy and crawly. For others, especially those who run and operate worm farms, worms can be fascinating creatures.
Worms can eat up to their own body weight in organic material everyday.
Some statistics show that worm castings may have five times the amount of nitrogen, seven times the amount of phosphorous, eleven times the potassium, and one thousand times the beneficial bacteria than what the worm ate in the first place.
The largest worms tend to be from South Africa and Australia. Worms are usually only a few inches long, but the longest recorded measured in at over twenty-two feet long.
Each of the 2,700 kinds of worms is unique and special in its own right.
