red wigglers in pee-ponics

Quick question, (I think)

Will red wiggler worms be just as happy in a pee-ponics system as in aquaponics? Or will there be something missing for them to thrive?

Thanks

Dan

If there is any organic matter to decay in the grow beds, then the worms will be fine. However a pure pee ponic system right at the start is going to be a bit short on stuff decaying in the grow beds in the beginning so their population might drop in the beginning until the plants start leaving old roots behind to decompose.
