Eisenia fetida or red wigglers, also known under several common names, such as brandling worms, red worms, and tiger worms are earthworm species tailored and adapted to rotting or decaying organic materials. They boom in rotting compost, vegetation, and even manure. These worms are not commonly found in soil, rather they prefer other environments and conditions where other worms would not exist and survive like living under your sink.
Like other species of worms, the brandling worms are hermaphroditic. Instead of laying eggs, they squirt cocoons containing many eggs. The cocoons are lemon-shaped and start as light yellow after birth. They turn into brownish to reddish worms as they mature.

If you have been dealing with clogged sinks for some time now, the most cost-effective method to avoid this problem from coming back is to resort to worm composting with the help of these red worms. This approach is not a fresh idea, but it is definitely a smart one. These worms can eat and ingest things of about one and one half times of their body weight each day. When composting is done appropriately, it will not elicit any odor and you can place the bin under the sink and other discreet places in your house.
The following are the materials you'll need in making a bin for your under the sink compost friend:
Drill with 1/4 " bit
Red wigglers
Dead leaves
Newspaper (black and white)
Dirt
Large plastic tub with cover - approximately eight gallon size
Screen - large enough to cover the tub's bottom
Shallow large tray
Fours blocks of woodFirst, drill some ¼" holes in the base of the tub for drainage. Position the mesh screen over the bottom so you can keep the red worms and materials intact. Place your tub on the four bricks to carry it off the floor, with a drip plate below.
Second, cut several pages of newspaper into strips and moisten it. Avoid making it too wet. Place the wet paper in the tray, and add in some leaves and dirt, which will be needed by the worms to digest accurately.
Third, put in the worms in the tray. The worms can be purchased online, at the bait store or you can just dig them in the backyard. They can also be seen below the heaps of decaying debris.
Keep in mind that the best places for your red worms are places where it is dark or shaded and cool. It's vital to keep the bedding moisturized because worms have sensitive skins and they will do their best to stay away from warm or humid places. The moist can be maintained by buying some moss, which you can get in pet shops or in certain spots that sun rays can't reach. When placing the bin under the sink, make sure that the worms won't be subjected to pulsing heat. They should also be sheltered from abrupt weather changes.
Red wigglers compost bin is not only a functional tool in gardening, it is also highly purposeful in keeping your sinks and drainage system unclogged and free from waste materials.
