Talk:Eisenia foetida

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So ... what is the source for suggesting that E. fetida will 'damage the environment' of certain soils? Is there a reference to this? Seems very unlikely to me -- they're compost worms, so are more likely to leave soils at speed looking for appropriate habitats. jake b 20:39, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I've also deleted the comment about their being often used to 'clean the environment', as this isn't true at all. (Yes there are a number of papers on earthworms stimulating biodegradation, but they're certainly not widely used.) jake b 21:05, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
