Red wigglers won't survive in soil, they like the area on top of the soil and below the mulch or leaf litter. Up here they would just freeze altogether. Regular earthworms dont like to be in the composter, they will escape if they can, they like being in the ground. You live in Florida so I think I'd be using the reds for fishing bait, they wiggle wonderfully, maybe that's where they got their name? and they don't die straight away in the water like nightcrawlers do, a very nice feature.
