compost worms

Hi all, I have a lot of red worms in my compost and was wondering will they live if I spread them with the compost on my raised beds which are 50% soil and 50% mushroom compost.

 

If they are small red striped brandling or tiger worms they'll not survive for long as they feed on vegetable matter.

 

Thanks Dave, trouble is I need a lot of worms for my raised beds and I can't find anywhere to buy earth worms, lots of red worms and lob worms for sale but not earth worms, believe it or not there are hardly any in my garden to dig up, I took up at least 3 ton of turf and soil to put in my raised beds and only found a handfull of earth worms

 

With a very dry spring this year blacksmith earthworms have tended to go 'deep', I'm sure you have more than your share in your garden. They will show later in the year.

I may be wrong, but I don't think you can buy earthworms.
