Worm World


We are back with a new season of Worm World!

We can’t be the only ones genuinely fascinated with the residents of worm farms and compost piles.


It’s the essence of why l became so enthusiastic about worm farming and composting in the first place over the more traditional gardening experience.


The one thing l noticed when l started researching worms and compost critters was the lack of the actual specific ‘worm’ images there was, and l figured, well, maybe that is something that worm fanciers like myself might appreciate seeing more of.


By taking these close-ups and macro shots of the worms, l came up with the idea of the Earthen Wurmin brand. These galleries display to the reader the true inner beauty of earthwormery.


Thanks for reading, and we hope you’ll enjoy the new season.

Earthen Wurmin’s Worm Facts & Quotes
Because worms live in the dark and are extremely sensitive to light, and although they don’t have eyes, they can detect any light through their skin. If exposed to sunlight, they move away, burrow down into the soil, or slither beneath leafy matter. However, if they cannot escape the light and are exposed for too long, they become paralysed and will soon dry out and die.

“I have come to understand, like Darwin had, that earthworms are not destroyers, but redeemers. They move through waste and decay in their contemplative way, sifting, turning it into something else, something that is better.”

Amy Stewart, The Earth Moved: On the Remarkable Achievements of Earthworms
