The earth worms only eat dead organic matter which comes out as worm castings.
Many of us add worm castings to our planting medium, worm castings are an amazing source of nutrients for our plants.

The answer is “no, your worms won’t damage your future plants.” If anything, they’ll add value to your growing plants.

You probably want to add European Nightcrawlers, because red worms aren’t as active through the compost pile as other species.
