Wonder Worms are one of the most active worm type known. They will even jump out of your hand. They are extremely aggressive in eating of green waste. One advantage of Pheretima Hawayana worms is that they are a deep burrowing worm. The popular red worm or manure worm is a surface worm. Wonder Worms can consume a small amount of most toxins and oil providing it is evenly blended with a maximum of 1/20th by their weight of their feed. The toxins eaten were somehow absorbed by the worm but when their castings were tested no toxins were detected. Wonder Worms will eat their own weight in food each day.
Worms are the buzzword of the 21st Century and definitely in Lismore, Australia. Here, innovation in ecologically sustainable development (ESD) has resulted is the biggest 'state-of-the-art', fully automated worm farm in the world, employing 10 million worms to turn 6,000 tonnes a year of organic waste, into brown gold. Synergistic effort between the Lismore City Council Waste Minimisation Department and Tryton Waste Services has resulted in managing contamination.

Wonder Worms are Pheretima Hawayana (genus) renamed as Amynthas Gracilus ... nicknamed "California Golden", "Alabama Jumpers", "Jumping Jacks" and "Twisters". These worms are a member of the night crawler family and are fed the finest quality food for maximum growth, breeding, and heartiness and are raised in the highest grade of bedding.
Imagine a sheep had an infestation of 100 worms. After the first drenching, 95 worms were killed leaving 5 resistant worms to breed . These resistant worms then increase in number, so with subsequent drenchings greater and greater numbers of worms survive, all being resistant to the particular drench. For this reason, drenching needs to be strategic. This means the drench type must be changed to decrease the chance of resistance and must be timed to maximise effectiveness.
