Man's hand holding common and entrachyadids earthworms over a worm composting bin in Issaquah, Washington, USA. Earthworms derive their nutrition from many forms of organic matter in soil, things like decaying roots and leaves, and living organisms such as nematodes, protozoans, rotifers, bacteria, fungi. They can consume, in just one day, up to one third of their own body weight. The very thin white worms are entrachyadids earthworms. Their presence indicates acidic conditions, but they don't hurt the worms, and they eat garbage, too.
