An automated testing enviroment for earthworms where, temperature, light, moisture oscillator frequencies and redox potential can

be controlled and the resultant effects measured and analyzed.

Introduction to Vermi There are well over 2200 species around the world. Found over the world except in arid and arctic regions. Size -1 in. (2.5 cm) to the 11-ft (330-cm) giant worms of the tropics. Colour pallid to reddish to purple. Filipino species is bright blue. Earthworms burrow in the ground, Swallowing soil from which the organic material is extracted and ground up in the gizzard and depositing the residue as castings outside the burrow.
