I was wondering if there was any known effect on vermiculture worms? I haven't yet found any information, and was specifically interested in it's effects on newly hatched worms.


Thanks for the great article.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for writing. I'm not sure which page you landed on but there is a box on all of my diatomaceous earth pages that has a link two different topics concerning diatomaceous earth.

The first page talks about what diatomaceous earth is and also how to use it in the worm bin. below is a link that will take you to that page.

The very short answer to your question is no. Diatomaceous Earth will not harm worms as they are a soft-bodied creature.

It adds nutrition in the form of minerals and also aids in digestion in the form of grit for the worms gizzard :)
