I used to use damp moss to put in a bait tin with the worms for two or three days. It used to toughen them up. Don't really know about keeping them long term in a wormery. If you mixed the moss with other material, ( leaves, paper, tea leaves etc ), I can't see that it would do any harm.

I have always been led to beleive damp moss peat is the best for toughening worms. Just damp enough that you can squeeze a little water out as your knuckles go white! If moss peat works, then maybe moss will be good ??
