Worms + vitamins

[jonathan]

I took some reptomin pellets, crushed them, dissolved them in water and poured this "soup" into the soil where my earthworms are. Is this likely to increase the nutritiousness of the worms in any way? Would another vitamin/food used this way be more effective?

There isn't any need to dissolve the pellets. Simply placing them on the substrate where they will pick up moisture will ensure that they are consumed.
In addition, adding water in this manner can result in the substrate being too wet.

Ed, Thanks for the tips.

Ouch, recently I've added a little water to a worms substrate that seemed a little dry, is this a problem? or does it become a problem when it makes the substrate really wet?

They do need some moisture, so I don't think what you did will cause problems. Just a question of how much is too much.
