You can get compost worms at bunnings, but I don't know if they are red wrigglers. They live happily in my gbs.

No, just the fish waste and uneaten fish food. They also eat dead decomposing roots.

I hope you have a helping hand separating the worms. My wife picked approx 100 big ones for each gb out of the 1200 worm box. They rest ended up in our banana circle.

The Bunnings worms are a mix of Reds and Tigers. They are perfect for AP but I would recommend running a worm farm and transferring them as needed. That way you can produce worm tea for your AP system and also for your garden. Also get rid of your waste.

Generally standard earth worms are not as good, compost worms are more efficient consumers of the waste.

A 6 year old and a 2 year old I'll get them working

I hope it is not like one in the pot and one to eat now...

The liquid that comes out of the bottom of a worm farm.

It is called that because it like a little like tea. But in my opinion no tea I would wish to drink.

It is good to use in you system occasionally or to spray on the plants.

Anyway when you get your box of worms, only a margin are adult worms. So you will end up disposing aof a good number of them.
Plus as Gwydion points out it is a pain to separate them.
If on the other hand if you run a worm farm you will them be able to harvest them as you want.

Also if you put a banana skin into the farm and then go back in a couple of days, when you lift it up there will be hundreds of worms swarming under it. They do love those bananas.
