What types of worms are composting worms?

We have found out a lot of interesting of worm facts. We have found out earth worms are great recyclers because they recycle soil, plant material and dead animals. But because we are thinking about the rubbish in the school we want to know which worm is the best worm to compost our rubbish so we can make compost for our school gardens. Everyone in the class got busy and googled worms and found Tiger worms are great composters. Bonny found the classification of Tiger Worms on a website she found. See if you can find out some more information from these websites:
