This is good information! We're in Michigan and our garden is loaded with earthworms. I'm not sure specifically what kind of earthworms, but they've really helped our garden soil. We put cardboard down every year and the worms LOVE hanging out under them. We also put all of our leaves on the garden, they break down into excellent compost. These bins will be for food scraps, etc.

It is reasonable to assume that European earthworms would be culturally superior to native composters because Europeans are superior to natives.

Maybe we'll find some good European earthworms for our compost, I heard their castings don't stink. Native earthworms around here wear red hats and might cause an insurrection in the garden, unless you feed them the right sort of herbs, then they're pretty chill. The blue-haired earthworms are the worse though, they tend to occupy the left side of our garden and are always shouting at us for being too white.
