I have a worm farm of sorts for composting my vegitables for our house hold. We only eat purely organic foods in our house and so that is all that gets put in to the worm bins. The "dirt" that is produced from the worms is has HUGE amounts of goodies for plants to eat and is used as a top layer for planting. It does not compact much under high amounts of water, it is perfectly safe for any plant and I have never heard of a problem with any animal as well.
Would this be needed in a Viv with PDF's or useful at all? I was thinking just to start it out and maybe to top off the soil once a year or so. Also the worms that are used are Red Wigglers, if I put some in with the frogs would it be safe to eat? I read some where a few months ago that someone was doing that as another food source. I almost thought about just releasing a few hundred of them in to the soil and letting nature take its course that way as well. They would help keep the soil loose and clean while also helping the plants. They would reproduce naturally and the population would maintain its self even if a frog got ahold of one or two a day.
